Would you like to tell fortunes with cards? Don't have a tarot deck at hand? There is a long tradition of using playing cards to do readings. The 52-card deck originally came from the 78 card tarot deck, and it can be used for many of the same things. There's a lot of information, but you can tackle it a little bit at a time. Learning to read cards is an ongoing process, and you don't need to be in a hurry about it.The art of telling fortunes by cards, known professionally as Cartomancy, has been practiced for centuries. In our day and generation divination by cards is chiefly employed for amusement and pastime, for the entertainment of one's self or one's company, or at church fairs, charity bazars, and the like; but in the days of the ancients it was practiced by prophets and sibyls as a serious business, and so accepted by all, from king to peasant.
