We all know about tarot and oracle cards, but have you thought about playing cards as an option? It doesn’t matter because Stephen Ball did it already and created a system that combines storytelling and archetypes to easily put these decks at use with amazing results. He clearly explains what each card is about and gives interesting historical facts about them to nourish your curiosity and develop several ideas.
I experimented a little with playing cards before to be honest, but I never found a serious and complete approach on the topic, which left me frustrated for a time and thinking that maybe this was a more unexplored ground than I expected. However, Playing Card Divination provides the solid foundation I needed to keep practicing, and after testing the readings and the meaning, I can tell you it definitely works.
Part fantasy, short-story anthology, part divination class, Stephen Ball created an amazing hybrid that will guide you as you discover the magic of this deck. As the title says, each card comes with a story that explains its meaning on a spread, and although I didn’t get as many spreads as I would like, the ones included are interesting enough. I’m particular curious about playing with Fate, but it’s one I’m reserving for when I’m more confident.
Although I was planning just to give it a glimpse because I had other things to do at the moment, Playing Card Divination: Every Card Tells a Story, by Stephen Ball, turned out to be such an addictive reading I couldn’t put it down. Not a single time. It was 2:00 AM of the next day when I could finally breathe and admitted that I fell in love with the descriptions and stories for each of the cards. Creative, intriguing and addictive, this book will become an invaluable addition to your bookshelf if you’re interested in divination.
