T i e e r e leg nd , however , lik so many pretty sto i s of the past , h as e e no foundation in fact , as cards w r known long ’ be fore the mad monarch s days . e r e It is tru that a cou t miniature paint r , named Grin onneur r i e e he g , did paint or o ig nat som cards which i r r e the ntroduced to the King , but ca ds were fi st us d in e e East in v ry anci nt days , and it is a curious fact that - e e the other great world popular indoor gam , Ch ss , also the - e originated in East , and is still played to day by m ans o f a pack of cards . It also seems obvious that cards reache d the West in e e r the same way and by the same rout as Ch ss , p obably r e e e e e th ough the gipsi s , that strang , unconqu rabl East rn e o f er r fl rac wand e s , whose actual origin still baf es our researches . Naturally a race of people with no se ttled home or nationality would fin d much difi culty in moving the ir r r a re pe sonal belongings f om place to place , and would pp ciate any amusem e nt that could be reduced to the form of o f a pack cards . IO CARD FORTUNE TELLING e the e e Ch ss was gr at Eastern gam , and is in many ways characte ristic o f a pe ople to whom Time was of no e . e ee e importanc Cards may hav b n a gam originally , but as known by the n sies they were only used for the e o f or e e purpos s Divination , Fortun T lling , and right up to the present day they still form the most popular and e e e of e wid spr ad m ans t sting the fortune . r Known as Ta occhi , or Tarots , the Divination cards e e e e -e e e —o r numb r d s v nty ight , and w re without numb rs — e e pips , as we call them which w r introduced in Europe f e o ee . for the sak simplicity, in the fourt nth century are of e Such packs still in use in parts the Contin nt , but the e e e e t W st rn pack has gradually tak n its plac , bo h for the o f e —in purpose Divination and for playing gam s fact , e it is usual to sp ak of a pack of Playing cards , a dis r e tinction that is ha dly n cessary nowadays , as it is not e o f r o ne asy to obtain a pack Tarot ca ds , unless knows e e . e e we wher to go for th m The fact , how v r , that still u se this distinctive name , shows that at one time the two kinds were in use side by side . If we compare a complete Tarot pack of cards with the mode rn Playing cards we shall find many interesting o f e n the e e e points res mbla ce , and at sam tim discov r the re ason for the Change s made in the We stern World . — There are twenty one Tarot cards that are used solely e i the e o f r for purpos s of Div nation , and d signs these ca ds vary greatly and have probably neve r had any real signifi e . e e e canc In addition to thes , th r is always a card known — as the Fool and as far as we know the card has always u e o f re maine d the same . For p rpos s Divination it has e e e the e no s parate indication , but s rv s to intensify m an e e ing of the card ne xt to it .

It is a curious fact that in certain card games we still - e e e the e find this all pow rful J st r , who has happy pow r - Ac e of r e e the of over trumping the T umps , what v r suit r e may be .

  • Etteilla's Trumps As Interpreted by Him and His Followers: Pictures, Translations, Commentary
    Delen 0 Meer Volgende blog» Blog maken Inloggen Etteilla's Trumps as Interpreted by him and his followers: pictures, translations, commentary Monday, May 28, 2012 Blog Archive ▼ 2012 (11) Etteilla on the cards as a whole II ▼ May (11) Cards 1-8 as the Chaos plus the 7 days I have been perusing the end of the 2nd Cahier. Near the end, starting p. 134, Etteilla goes through of creation... seven ways of dividing the 78 cards (for the second time, I think). Of the fourth, he says he got it cards 1-4 in the Etteilla tradition from "un sage Piémontois très-agé"--s very old sage of Piedmont--in 1857. In a footnote, marked (1), he gives reminiscences of this wise, very aged Piedmontese, and in a footnote to the footnote, cards 5-8 in the Etteilla tradition marked (a), he tells how he happened to meet the man. From this last footnote, it is clear where cards 9-12 in the Etteilla tradition Atteilla’s biographer got the idea that the Piedmontese’s name was Alexis and that Etteilla met cards 13-15 in the Etteilla tradition him in Lamballe. It is also clear that there was no confusion between this Alexis and the “Alexis Piémontois” of two centuries earlier, as Decker et al speculate, because Etteilla’s Alexis is said to cards 16-21 and 78 in the Etteilla tradition be the grandson (“petit fils”) of the earlier one. Since the earlier one lived 1520-1566, per Decker et al, the later one must have been "très-agé" indeed; well, presumably he had the "universal Etteilla on the cards as a whole I medicine," of which Etteilla says much, of a general nature, in the 2nd Cahier.

The four elements provide the framework for many esoteric systems, including Wiccan magick, astrology, palmistry and, of course, tarot. There is a fifth element, which is ether, or spirit. The Major Arcana is often considered the suit of ether, while the four elements are ascribed to the four suits of the Minor Arcana. This is fitting because the Major Arcana, or “Greater Secrets,” contains the greatest spiritual messages and lessons of all the 78 cards. The Major Arcana contains Card 0, The Fool, who represents each one of us on our journey through life. The Major Arcana cards 1-21, and the four suits of the Minor Arcana, symbolize the events, lessons and characters we meet upon that journey. The Major Arcana is often called “The Fool’s Journey,” as each card marks an important milestone on the Fool’s path to spiritual enlightenment.

  • Beaded Playing Cards – Ace of Hearts
    Beaded Playing Cards – Ace of Hearts Katie Dean https://beadflowers.co.uk Design © 2020 Beaded Deck of Playing Cards © Katie Dean 2020, www.beadflowers.co.uk Beaded Deck of Playing Cards – Ace of Hearts This is an even count Peyote beading pattern. You will be working with size 11/0 Delica beads. I have given you the bead colour codes I used, down below. But please check each individual playing card for the quantities you need for that particular card. The finished size of each card is 2.75” (7cm) x 4” (10.5cm). I recommend you look for wholesale packs of these beads if you are planning to make multiple cards. You can also calculate the total number required for an entire pack of cards by adding together the quantity on each playing card. The introduction, on the next page, tells you how to assemble the cards and gives you some helpful advice for using this tutorial. This is suitable for anyone who enjoys working in Peyote stitch. If you need to learn even count Peyote, or want a little refresher, I recommend this free YouTube video https://youtu.be/VlY5CNYhOc4 . As long as you know the technique basics, it is very easy to follow the word charts I have provided. So, all you need is a little patience and some time to enjoy this! Design Note: because I chose the quickest, easiest Peyote variation (even count), I have had to take some liberties with the card designs. So, you will notice they are not perfectly symmetrical. I have calculated enough symmetry to make them look ‘right’, but you will notice the unevenness as you bead.
