I wanted to add this page here because I have started a new course Rural Cartomancy atThe Magic Circle School and I have always been very much interested in divination with playing cards. It is said that the playing cards were originated from the mother, Tarot.However, there are no reversals, only upright meanings.
There are two colours in the playing cards deck, Red and Black. Reds are the good ones and Black are the bad ones. The deck is divided into further four suits, Diamonds, Heart, Spades and Clubs.
My association rules are following:
Diamonds = Pentacles/ Earth = money, possessions, wealth, fortune == Winter == Years
Hearts = Cups/ Water = emotions, family, relationships = Summer == Months
Spades = Swords/ Air = troubles, disputes, tears, suffering == Autumn == Weeks
Clubs = Wands / Fire = work, plans, ideas, business == Spring == Days
The general meanings for the cards irrespective of suits are:
Ac = beginnings
Two = a pair, exchange, partnership
Three = Making three from two, Growth
Four = A perfect stable square, no change, stability, stagnation
Five = Bodily things, gains/losses
Six = paths (look at the way they are laid out)
Seven = trouble (interrupting six)
Eight = Ideas and thoughts
Nine = changes, ambition
Ten = Completion
Kings = Powerful, aged men
Queen = women
Jacks = a message, a child/youth of either gender
Some readers include the Joker as the Fool from the Tarot, similarly some systems remove certain number of cards from the deck and then use it, it all varies from system to system and what works for you. I am starting with full deck of 52 cards, I will occasionally use a Joker if required for the spread. For the daily draws I will pull one card for the day along with cards from another oracle cards deck (Lenormand, for example).
This is my knowledge and experience thus far about the playing cards cartomancy and I will add with time when I learn new things about them .
Till then, Blessings to the learners' way
