Have you ever really thought about a deck of playing cards? Most of think they are for card games or gambling. What if I told you that that little deck of cards we take for granted is really a way to see into the future? The deck of cards we know was once known as “The Little Book of Destiny” and has the capabilities to show us what influences, experiences and even people we will encounter in our lives? This information was kept secret until Olney Richmond wrote a book in 1894 called “The Mystic Test Book”. This book talked of the cards as way to predict the future. Since then Edith Randall and Florence Evylinn Campbell wrote “Sacred Symbols of Ancients” in 1947 which explained even more thoroughly the mystical meanings of the cards. More recently Robert Lee Camp has published several books on The Destiny Cards and is the modern day expert on the science of the cards.

If you just take a look at the cards you’ll notice something. There are four suits. They correspond with the four seasons. A deck has 52 cards. Our year has 52 weeks. 5 + 2 = 7 which are the number days of the week and the number of visible planets. If you take the value of all the cards of the deck Jacks worth 11, Queen worth 12, etc. you have a grand total of 364. But wait there are 365 ¼ days in our year. A little known fact, the value of the joker is 1 ¼. The value of the joker comes from the fact that he is all the four suits plus himself, making him worth 1 ¼.

So how does a deck of playing cards predict our future? Each calendar day of the year is assigned a card called your Birth Card. Starting with January 1 assigned the King of Spades and ending on December 30 assigned the Ace of Hearts and December 31 the Joker. The cards are not equally distributed throughout the year. There are nearly twice as many Club and Diamond birthdays as there are Heart and Spade birthdays. From this Birth Card is where we find information about you and the influences in your life. We can look at everything from what is going on with your money, health, relationships and more!

Who knew that there is so much to that little deck of cards! Next time we will talk more about Birth Cards and the meanings of the suits!
