So in my previous chapter on cartomancy i mentioned another system, the one in the book "Playing Card Divination: Every Card Tells a Story" but i never went over that system. This system is probaby my favorite system to use so i decided to make a chapter on it. Please read the book for more information on this system and how to interpret it.
You know how in tarot they have a story called the "Fool's Journey" (Should i make a chapter telling this story? learning this story is a good way to get to know your tarot cards better). In this system we have something similar. It's called the "Magicians Journey."
In this system, every number represents an archetype that walks within the deck. Each archetype represents a different part of th Magicians Journey. We follow the story of a Hunter becoming a magician. Each suit represents an action for that role/archetype.
Archetypes/roles
Ace: The Hunter
Two: The Lover
Three: The Healer
Four: The Smith
Five: The Warrior
Six: The Singer
Seven: The Nobel
Eight: The Hermit
Nine: The Dancer
Ten: The Magician
Jack: The Trickster
Queen: The Lady
King: The Sovereign
Actions
Clubs: Promise
Diamonds: Gambit
Spades: Folly
Hearts: Triumph
So the King of Spades would be the "Sovereign's Folly" and the 9 of Hearts would be the "Dancer's Triumph"
I could go into lots of details on what each role means and what each action means. I could also go into so much detail on each individual card. But i'm too lazy for that so i'm just going to ive a few keywords for what each card means in this system so i hope you guys actually buy and read the book on it, because it's a really good book.
