This is a totally unhelpful answer but no, I haven't ever used or had a reading done for me with regular playing cards. I've always been curious though...

Hi,
Yes, I've heard of it and seen it done. I'm including a webpage that explains it best. https://exemplore.com/fortune-divina...-Playing-Cards The difference between the Tarot deck and the Playing cards is that in the playing cards you don't have the top 22 Major Arcana. You only have the 4 sets of Pentacles = Diamonds, Spades = Swords, Clubs = wands , Hearts = cups and the Fool which is the Joker. Have fun! |

I found a forum on Cartomancy and I'm trying to learn more about using playing cards for divination. This has always fascinated me for some reason? Ever since I was a kid I've been interested. I looooove anything pertaining to the paranormal/occult in general.

Ah yes...the veil is thin so let's have fun!
LOVE this time of year and all the wonderful energies-especially visiting with all the loved ones in Spirit on the other side! The veil is SO thin it's awesome!
I will be doing a reading tomorrow for sure on Dia De Los Muertos as I find that day especially auspicious for a reading. I am getting back into Tarot from using them in previous lifetimes (and probably being put to death for them as well) so I have a great teaching/learning deck with Ciro Marchetti's artwork: "Easy Tarot". I also want to purchase another deck that caught my eye last night: "The Everyday Witch Tarot". So cute and sassy... I have begun to set up my altar to honor my mom for Day of the Dead and always love doing that for her. Makes me feel closer to her. What about you all? Anything planned? We are so blessed to express ourselves anyway we like!

I did a reading tonight.
The Everyday Witch tarot is on my Amazon wish list for tarot decks to get! My best friend has it and loves it. |

I have a relatively new deck called Beautiful Creatures and I love, love, love it. It's gothic and fantasy and dark angels and fairies and pumpkins and animals. The art is phenomenal! I've been working with them daily, sometimes doing full spreads, sometimes pulling one or a few cards. I'm enjoying getting to know the cards a lot. I pulled REALLY good cards today that I'm excited about.
What's anyone else doing tarot wise? Do you have a daily practice? |

When I was a kid, my mom had a friend that only read playing cards. When I was a teen, she read them for me and I found her to be quite accurate. Personally, I think she had some sort of psychic ability.

I finally got (well, it's at JD's house so technically HE got it) the much long-awaited Dust II Onyx: A Melanated Deck by Courtney Alexander and I cannot WAIT to get my hands on it.
If you haven't seen it, she's a brilliant artist:

I got three new decks at Christmas. The Modern Spellcaster's Tarot, which is beautiful and has Wiccan, gay, and poly imagery. The other two decks I got are Oracle decks, the Oracle of mermaids and Oracle of unicorns. I've been having fun with the decks. I've been pulling my daily cards from the Modern Spellcaster's. It has a good vibe and seems to be on point. |

OMFG!
So, my final report on the Dust II Onyx deck: THIS IS THE MOST BADASS TAROT DECK I HAVE EVER OWNED.S The artwork is even more stunning in person and the box is super amazing quality and has a magnetic closure. Inside is a HARDBACK book of card meanings and the book on its own is a work of art. The artist, Courtney, clearly put a ton of work into her research and the book is just beautiful and personal and high-quality. The cards are a nice size and are raised gold-leaf in some places. The colors are vivid and saturated beyond anything I've ever seen and basically every aspect of this deck is sumptuous and delicious and just beyond fucking amazing. If you have ever considered saving your coins for an extra-special deck, I cannot recommend this one enough. Courtney also has a program for her deck where you can donate to a fund to help women of color who are card readers be able to afford a deck. I feel that this may be the most important deck of modern time, both culturally and spiritually. I am moved beyond belief to be able to own it and learn from it. /gush
