I know there are people around here who know to read playing cards - something I really want to learn. I'm especially fascinated with German playing cards, with hearts, bellls, acorns and leaves.
My grandmother had a huge collection of playing cards, among them a lot of German decks. When I was a child, I loved to look at them with magnifiying glasses, compare them etc. I must have been eleven or twelve years old then. I don't know where these cards went after my grandmother died, probably my aunts and uncles threw them away. So I have a sentimental attachment to such decks.
Does anyone of you have any tips, favorite decks, good books to learn etc? I'd be really grateful.
And a more general question: does reading playing cards impact your tarot skills? I noticed that when I learn a new language, old languages I used to know get "covered". And I'm afraid that the different methods, strategies, systems will get mixed up somewhere in my mind.
I never really warmed to Lenormand although I own Blue Owl cards and a very nice book by Anne Biwer (purchased some time before the Lenormand boom started). But playing cards - I'd love to try. Especially German ones.
