A deck of cards is used in cartomancy, which is a form of prediction. Even though the practise has been popular for hundreds of years, the sale of Tarot cards on the general market has made it more popular than ever. They are used at parties as much as they are used to tell the future. True psychics who care about telling the truth in their work are surprised by this fact. They see their mental abilities as an art form, and they don’t like the idea of girls at a sleepover playing with divination.
At first, playing cards were used for cartomancy. It is still done that way in many places. Even though reading regular playing cards isn’t as popular as it used to be because Tarot cards are so famous and mysterious, the basic ideas are still the same. Even though different countries have made their own unique sets of playing cards, changes have been made so that different decks can be used for readings. When it comes down to it, you can do cartomancy with the poker cards in your junk bin. Tarot cards can be fun and helpful, but you don’t have to think that they are the only way to get good reading or good advice.
There are a lot of myths and legends about the cards that are used in cartomancy. One of the most common views is that the deck used for readings should never be used for anything else. When you play with the cards, you can mess up their prediction accuracy. Some experts even say that the cards should never be touched by anyone but the person who owns them. They have to keep the auras of other people from getting in the way of the link between the cards and the medium.
When people talk about what is and isn’t cartomancy, things can get heated. Even though they may all agree that there are different kinds of divination, many of the older schools of thought refuse to call any reading that doesn’t use a standard deck of cards “cartomancy.” In other words, they think that reading Tarot cards is not part of cartomancy. They also don’t think that other kinds of tarot cards meet the standards of true cartomancy.
The Tarot deck is very different from the packs of cards you and I might be used to. First of all, there are more cards. Also, they are split up in different ways. There are 22 “major” cards in a Tarot deck that don’t match in a regular deck. The rest of the cards are kind of like regular poker cards in that each suit means something important. Each of the four suits, clubs, diamonds, hearts, and spades represents a major part of the world. These are earth, air, fire, and water.
There are also the numbers on the cards, which have their own meanings. This is true, especially for the face cards. The disagreement over the meanings of cards in the same decks is what causes many problems and makes many people question whether it is important. If people are aware of these differences, it can be hard to get a good reading from them. One possible answer is that the cards show what will happen based on how the translator draws them. Could it be that no matter how you look at the cards, they will be played in the right way? Many cartomancers think this is true, which is why disagreements about meaning don’t bother them.
