I started using playing cards for divination in my teens, when other people were starting to explore tarot. I think one of the things that attracted me to it was how easy it was to get started. At it's most basic it is a matter of combining simple Numerology (the card denominations) with an understanding of the Elements (the suits). Of course, there is more to it than that but that's really all you need to begin ... so, discarding the court cards for now, let's get started.

| it's not as daunting as it seems |
Ace = Beginnings.
2 = Partnerships
3 = Choices
4 = Stability
5 = Change
6 = Balance
7 = Spirituality
8 = Power
9 = Endings
10 = Success
The Suits
Hearts = Water (relationships and emotions)
Clubs = Air (knowledge and communication)
Diamonds = Earth (financial matters)
Spades = Fire (passion and spirituality).
Working with just the information above it's not hard to work out what might be indicated if you were to draw a 3 (choices) of Hearts (relationships), or what a 10 (success) of Diamonds (finances) could mean. And that's all there is to it ... for now. I will go into each in more detail in another lesson but in the meantime have fun choosing cards at random and hazard a guess at what each might mean.
