The Devil’s Picture Book — How to Read an Ordinary Deck of Cards

You already own the deck.

There is one in a kitchen drawer somewhere in your house, with a bent seven in it. That is all you need.Cartomancy is older than tarot — ordinary playing cards were being read for fortunes in Europe long before the picture decks arrived, which is where the old nickname comes from: the devil’s picture book, the fifty-two-page bible, the deck the preachers kept complaining about.

What’s inside

The Guide (33 pages) — a complete working system. What each suit governs, what the numbers mean, the sixteen court cards as people in your life, and all fifty-two cards one by one with a title, a meaning and a line to read aloud.

Eight spreads — a thirty-second daily pull, the Three, the Cross, the Court, the Week, the Question, the Year and the Three Roads.

The Reference Cards — nine pocket cards, cut to the same size as your deck, so you can read anywhere without the book.

The Reading Mats — printable layouts for the four main spreads.

Two story templates.

Both US Letter and A4. Instant download.

Start reading in three minutes. Page 3 is a single-card pull with nothing to learn first— shuffle, cut, take the top card, and you have done a reading. Everything after that is refinement.

Please note

Sold for entertainment and personal reflection. Nothing in this book is medical, legal, financial or psychological advice, and there is a page in it about what never to tell another person during a reading.

Digital download — nothing is posted to you. A deck of playing cards is not included, because you have one. For personal use only; digital orders can’t be refunded once delivered.
