How To Read Playing Cards

by Helen Fox

Playing cards have been used for fortune telling and divination for hundreds of years. In this book I give several layouts that can be used, and a full list of the interpretation of each card, as well as information on the links with Numerology and Astrology.
A reading can be fun, entertaining, insightful and helpful- why not give it a try?
Playing cards began in China around 618 A.D. during the Tang Dynasty. Since then they have evolved and changed to become the pack we now use, with 10 number cards and 3 Royal cards in each suit. (The Joker card was invented by the Americans in 1870 and is not used for readings in this book). The travellers from the Middle East and the Romany people probably introduced cards to Europe in the 1400’s. It was then that the split occurred between playing cards and the Tarot pack.
