Hi everyone welcome to my cartomancy blog
I have since updated this site, since I first created it a couple of years ago, so it is revised.
Playing cards was the first ever oracle that I had a reading with when I was 18 years old. A Gypsy man, and everything he told me had come true.
So my fascination started with him, and on and off through the years I have looked at different playing card systems. They all have some relevance, and truth to them. Although I always thought that they were missing something.
My other interest is in the lenormand cards, and funny enough Marie Anne Adelaide Lenormand, had also started the lenormand oracle on a deck of playing cards. Although her oracle only uses 36 cards. But the system of Sylvie Steinbach had perfected the oracle.
I had recently looked at Ana Cortez system and I liked some of her thoughts. Particularly using the 10,s as the young female element of the court cards. Although the trinity of King/Queen/Jack, to represent father, mother, child. But the jack typically represents a male. And in all things nature has balance. So the introduction of the daughter, using all the 10′s in the deck, added another dimension to it. So I adapted that theory, and created my own playing card oracle. I had also used card meanings that came from the lenormand oracle. And also introduced the 2 Jokers that are also in the deck. It seems a little more perfect for me.
The playing card deck, is so easily accessible, you can buy them anyway, and only for as little as $2. It has lasted throughout the ages, and will be around long after all other games have been forgotten. There is a mystical potency with this deck, it is a solar and lunar calendar. There is so much more to this deck, Richmond Olney, Grandmaster of the Order of the Magi, has written some of the secrets of this little deck.
The interesting thing is that no matter what meanings you put to this deck, readers have given alot of accurate and detailed readings. So I have put together bits and pieces of other oracles, to try and make it as perfect as I can.
You will see on the right hand side. pages for my card meanings.
