INTRODUCTION TO CARTOMANCY
The origin of playing cards is lost in the mist of time. But most sources agree that playing cards were invented in the Far East. The earliest cards were called naibe, in Arabic and translate as “to foretell.” Their primary purpose was for divination; playing games with playing cards was an afterthought. The history of playing cards is a mysterious as the fortunes they tell. It was worth noting there are 52 weeks in a year and 52 cards. There are four suites, symbolic perhaps of the four seasons of the year, the four divisions of the day (morning, afternoon, evening, and night), or the four elements (earth, air, fire, and water). The four suites also harmonize with the four stages of life: Diamonds signify youth; Clubs, adulthood; Hearts, maturity; and Spades, Old age. Also significant: There are 13 cards in each suite and 13 lunar months in a year, as well as 13 weeks in each quarter of the year. There are 12 court cards (so called feature Kings, Queen and Jacks), and perhaps not just by coincidence there are 12 months in a year and 12 zodiac houses. Paying cards were first printed from engraved rocks in the fourteenth century. Today’s playing cards have remained virtually unchanged for centuries, and still feature the costume of Henry VIII’s day. Because each playing card has a corresponding meaning, cartomancy – telling fortunes with playing cards – is very versatile way of revealing the past, present, and future of your own or another person’s life. Cards can predict love, health, and happiness. They have the ability to forecast general as well as answer specific questions, and answers can be found using simple or more complex methods. Most homes possess a pack of playing cards. Unlike a crystal ball, they are light weight, easy to carry, and discreet in appearance. Not only can cards help you make up your mind, they can help you make the kind of choices that ensure your future success and happiness. In the same way that your personal pack of playing cards will become an indispensable aid in solving your own dilemmas, your special ability to read cards will draw friends who will depend on you when they have a decision to make or a crisis. Even if they don’t believe, people will find you entertaining and will want you at their parties. And by reading the cards for them, you will sharpen your intuitive ability to read people.
