Do-It-Yourself Divination

This is really pretty simple as far as using a plain deck of playing cards goes. First and foremost you want to use a brand new unused deck with an abstract design on the front. Cards with images of trees or kittens etc, won't do. They'll influence your interpretation of the reading and therefore are unusable. You are using the numbers and face cards to interpret the reading NOT the images on the cards and so the images on the back of the cards may do their own subliminal influencing so stick with a deck of poker cards and make sure to mark the box you keep them in so no one will mistake them for playing cards.

You'll also need to make a chart of your own interpretation of each card in the deck (remember to discard the JoKeRs *winks*). Until you can take the time out to really sit down and figure out what each card means to you, you can use one I made specifically for other internet users. It is rather superficial and NOT the same interpretations I use for my own personal readings but it is more universal and mainstream and therefore better to offer to a universal audience :O)

I've put the interpretation chart on an easy to print page so you can just print it out and study it from there. (Who knows maybe it will help inspire you to create a chart of your own interpretations!)

For the chart - - go here - - For a table of correspondences for the different suits of the cards -- go here -- By learning and understanding the different elements and attributes of each suit, you'll better be able to create your own accurate interpretations of each card.

A few layouts to try...

This (Fig. 1) is your basic past-present-future lay-out which consists of three cards placed faced down and turned up one by one starting with the first card laid.
This (Fig. 2) isn't exactly a lay-out. It's just a simple yes or no reading. For example: Q: "Am I going to have a good day today?" A: Queen of Hearts
This means yes. Red cards are yes, black cards are no. Pretty simple.
This lay-out (Fig. 3) is a less complicated complex reading *winks* Basically you have to derive from the interpretations a description of the querents situations in each category, for instance a Queen of Hearts in the position of Career would mean,that a woman with dark hair and light eyes and/or a fair complexion will be an influence in your career. In other words keep an eye on women matching this description in the workplace.
