Editor's Summary
I finally got my hands on this playing-card divination book after a decade of dabbling, and I gotta say it lives up to the hype. The author breaks down every card with clear, easy‑to‑follow meanings and throws in a ton of spread examples that actually work. The binding feels solid, the font is easy on the eyes, and I’ve been pulling a card a day for the past month with spot‑on results. If you’re curious about card reading beyond tarot, this could be the game‑changer you need.
Specifications
I fell in love with reading playing cards for divination back in the late ’90s. I tore through a bunch of books and learned by trial and error, mostly on curious classmates. Then tarot took over and my regular deck got shoved to the back burner. A few weeks ago I got the itch to dust the cards off again, found some solid YouTube lessons, and when I saw the instructor had a book out, I pre-ordered it right then. Now it’s finally in my hands!
I’d already bought another title from the same author—a Lenormand beginner’s guide—and that book was amazing. I’d recommend it to anyone curious about the system. After I grabbed this playing-card book, I haven’t needed any other manuals. It gives detailed meanings for every card, which I’ve been using in spreads for almost a year, and they’re 100 % spot‑on. My skill level has jumped thanks to this guide.
The playing-card book holds its own against the Lenormand guide, and honestly, I think it’s even a bit better for me. It’s packed with tables, charts, and all kinds of visual aids that make learning a breeze.
It’s loaded with thorough card meanings, tons of spreads, and step-by-step examples on how to read them. I’m adding a few more photos below.
This book works for total beginners and still has plenty to offer seasoned pros. I’d highly recommend it!
