I didn't start with playing cards. Only way I was using them was around a poker table. I started as many others with Tarot. After a while I felt bored a little bit. I'm still ashamed to admit it and I apologize to all Tarot lovers. So I switched to Lenormand which was refreshing... for a while. But eventually I got bored as well. I still use both Tarot&Lenormand nowadays, I reconciliated with them, I'm speaking here about my development in the past.
This is when I made the jump and decided to dive into the realm of playing cards. I was really not feeling confident at first. What would a 10s mean ? And what about this Jack of clubs ? Contrary to both Tarot and Lenormand, none of those cards were really speaking to me and looking at them wasn't giving me any clue. I could have quit at that moment but for some reasons I decided to held on. Thanks Lord for that !
Nowadays, playing cards are by FAR my favourite divination tool.
The difficulty was to go through so many various systems which were all contradictory one with each others. Eventually, with hard work, sweat, and discipline, I reached that point where those cards do talk to me and their message is always clear. It doesn't mean that I don't have to focus on some spreads because some are tougher than some others, but there's always this point where everything unfolds naturally.
Playing cards are extremely accurate. Contrary to some beliefs they are VERY WELL suited for matters involving psychology. Tarot has not any monopole on this. Those who think that those cards are too simplistic to handle complex matter are far from the truth.
I don't use revesals. There's really to me no need to. The flow of action gives you the way to understand the card so reversals have no place in my readings.
I use all the cards. European Cartomancy only use 32 (from Aces to 7s) but to me this is a huge mistake. You deprive yourself from so many meanings and understandings doing so.
I don't use Jokers. I see no use of them. No really, I know why people do use them but it doesnt sound right to me. To each his own I guess.
On a very simplistic way :
- clubs : work
- diamonds : money
- hearts : feelings
- spades : troubles
I know that some others readers invert clubs/diamonds but this is how I see them (of course this is not a detailed list, I'm just summing up to the extreme here).
I have a serie of articles and videos that might be interesting for some of you who like me love those little cards. For the moment 8 videos and 2 articles. There will be more in the future.
I plan to share here some spreads here. I also plan to share some thoughts and case studies. And of course to read all others thoughts about playing cards because sharing is what make us grow and develop.
Thanks for reading, and see you soon !
