How the same cards change aspect from Rider Waite Smith (original edition) to Tarot de Marseille (by Kris Hadar): Chariot, 9 Cups, 10 Swords, Queen Swords 1 A. We can build keyword meanings from combining Suit + Number. In your reading, have a clear question, check suit and number, and answer the question from the combinations in context to the question. There are MANY combinations of suit and number! Below I’ve combined one suit with one number theme to make a word: you will find many more – try it yourself!

We can also read Pips from their numerical association with the trumps. HOW THE PIP MEANINGS CAN BE DETERMINED BY THE TRUMPS: (VIII=Justice, XI = Strength) Here the trumps lend their lustre to the pips. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 :NUMBERS OF PIPS I II III IV V VI VII VIII IX X :TRUMPS XI XII XIII XIV XV XVI XVII XVIII XIX XX :TRUMPS XXI Aces: Magician & Strength & World: confidence and self-control, completion Twos: Priestess & Hanged Man: relating and trial.

Nines: Hermit & Sun: guidance and illumination Tens: Wheel of Fortune & Judgement: fortune and resurrection A job applicant asks: On what basis are they hiring for the university post? 4 Coins, 2 Cups, 6 Swords (Kris Hadar Tarot de Marseille) 5 CROSS AND PASSPORT by Caitlín Matthews The Cross 1-5 is the situation itself. The Passport 6-8 is the way the client can move on. With your whole deck lay cards like this: 4 1 2 3 + 6 7 8 5 1. The Client’s Situation. 2. The wisdom in the situation 3. What the client faces 4. Advice or What to do 5. Outcome or What not to do. 6-8. are read as a line, then as amplifications of 1-3: read 1+6, 2+7, 3+8 If you want to practise your pips, then lay only trumps on cards 1-3 and only pips on cards 6-8 by taking the first trumps or pips to come out of a turn-over. Example of Cross & Passport. She asks, ‘how can I get my boyfriend back?’ The Cross: XX = the client. O = what they are facing 5 Coins = how they deal with it . XII = the outcome. 5 Wands = wisdom they can use The Passport: read the 3 cards as the way forward; then mirror these with the corresponding 3 6 READING FROM SUITS & NUMBERS – THREE CARD LAYER In this spread you read the majors as normal and the pips/courts from their number & suit. 1. Think of a question and turn over cards one at a time, in a pile until you come to a major, keeping the discards that led to this major under it. 2. Start pile two and do the same, then pile three. You should have three piles of cards with a major at the top of each. 3. Read the majors as usual as a response to the question. 4. Look beneath the major in each pile to scan the number and suit of the minors beneath. How do these support and amplify what the trumps say? In this example, the question is about a Paypal client who was creating trouble for me: I asked about how he might best be satisfied. The Trumps are: World, Judgement reversed, and Sun – so the issue is about completing this transaction. Reversed Judgement is a little dodgy but I seriously don’t want a replay of this person’s behaviour. Lastly the Sun tells me that things will successfully sort out. Scanning the pips/courts under each card gives us more Reading on Yes and No questions. Try drawing 3 pip cards and see what suit combinations arise. 7 .

  • What Is Settebello? Pulcinella Vera Pizza Napoletana Salt Lake City Las Vegas
    What is Settebello? Settebello is the most valuable and sought after card in the popular Italian card game Scopa. A deck of Scopa cards consists of 40 separate cards in 4 different suits. The suits include clubs, swords, cups and gold coins. The Settebello is the nickname given to the seven of gold. Whichever player holds the settebello at the end of a hand is awarded a point. The settebello can also aid a player in winning a point for the primiera as well as for the player who holds the most gold cards. A typical game of scopa is played to 11 points. Scopa is an extremely popular card game in and around Napoli. Pulcinella Pulcinella, often called Punch or Punchinello in English, is a masked clown from Commedia Dell’arte. His celebrated temperament is crafty and even mean at times. He is characteristically worry-free with a legendary passion for good eating, and will typically show whichever face necessary to gather friends, or even foes, together around a table for sweet wine and good food. Ultimately, it’s Pulcinella’s positive approach to life that has won him the adoration of the masses. Vera Pizza Napoletana The Vera Pizza Napoletana (VPN) was established by Antonio Pace in Napoli, Italy in 1984. Signore Pace led a group of pizza makers whose sole purpose was to protect the integrity and defend the origin of the pizza making tradition as it began in Napoli over 200 years ago. The VPN charter requires that members use only specific raw ingredients to create the pizza dough, that the dough be worked with the hands, never using a rolling pin and that it be cooked directly on the surface of a bell shaped pizza oven that is fueled solely by wood.

  • Problem Set 1. 1. If You Have 10 Coins, How Many Possible
    Problem Set 1. 1. If you have 10 coins, how many possible combinations of heads and tails are there for all 10 coins? Hint: how many combinations for one coin; two coins; three coins? Here there are 2 events (heads or tails) possible for each coin. The first coin toss gives 2 possible outcomes. The second coin toss is independent of the first and also has 2 outcomes. For 2 coins, it is 2 possible outcomes for the first coin AND 2 possible outcomes for the second coin 2 x 2 = 4 For three coins, there are2 possible outcomes for the first coin AND 2 possible outcomes for the second coin AND possible outcomes for the third coin 2 x 2 x 2 = 23 = 16. Here we have 10 independent occurrences each with 2 possible events: 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 = 210 = 1024 A general rule for these problems. The number of possible outcomes raised to the number of independent trials (occurrences). 2. Proteins are made up of chains of amino acids. Insulin is a relatively small protein with 53 amino acid residues. How many possible proteins of length 53 can be made with 20 possible amino acids for each position in the protein? This is the same question as asked above. Here, we have a protein of 53 amino acid residues. Each position in that protein has 20 possible events. 2053 = 9.0 x 1068 3. Humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes. Gametes get one chromosome from each pair.

  • US Military Used the Ace of Spades to Scare the Viet Cong
    US Military Used The Ace Of Spades To Scare The Viet Cong National Card Playing Day is observed annually across the United States on December 28. In the 9th century, the Chinese began developing games using money and other paper objects. These early playing cards bear no resemblance to the sturdier European playing cards that developed a few centuries later. Card games spread around the world in a variety of shapes and styles. From the elaborate Mamluk designs of Egypt to the appearance of the first playing cards during the Early Renaissance in Europe, the decks were divided into four suits of coins, cups, swords and sticks or batons. It is from these four suits that today’s modern decks of playing cards developed. Theories range how the suits converted to hearts, spades, diamonds and clubs. One theory suggests the suits represent the different classes of the era – clergy, aristocracy, military and peasantry. In India, the ten suited card game of Ganjifa became popular during the Moghul period. Traditionally, artists hand paint a stunning scene on each of the 120 cards in the deck. A standard pack of cards may be used for playing a variety of card games, with varying elements of skill and chance, some of which are played for money. Some of the top card games include Spades, Poker, Solitaire, Spite and Malice, Hearts, Spoons, Gin Rummy, Ridge, Black Jack and Texas Hold’em. Of course, there are thousands of card games, some of which are regional favorites. The French suit symbols we are most familiar with (Hearts, Diamonds, Clubs and Spades) are a variation of the German suit symbols used in the late 1370s.

Originally--and still, in much of the world--the Tarot deck is just a di erent deck of playing cards. Compared to the more common 52-card poker deck, these Tarot (or Tarocco, or Tarock, or many other names, depending on the origin) decks usually have more cards, including an additional suit of named cards, and individually vary widely in exact contents. They have existed as gaming cards for hundreds of years, since at least the 15th century. However, in about the 18th century, some people began using them for divination. The 78-card Rider-Waite- Smith Tarot deck (named after the publisher, the designer, and the artist) 10-year-old-me found on a dusty shelf in my dad’s o ce came with a tiny booklet that tried to explain, in brief, the concepts of occult Tarot and a summary of each card, and was my rst introduction to such things; I imagine a similar story is true of many people of my generation, since that particular deck has been one of the most popular of the last 100 years, even though it is far from the only option.
