One response to “Divination Through Playing Cards | Broom Closet Witchery”

  1. […] Fun fact, you can use poker cards to do Tarot readings if you can’t have a tarot deck around. Equate each of tarot suits to one of the poker suits. Wands = clubs, cups = hearts, swords = spades, and peantacles = diamonds. The Kings and Queens would remain the same. The Knights would be the Jacks. Sadly the pages would not be incorporated sadly, but thats ok because you still have 52 cards to read with. You may feel like you are missing out without the Major Arcana, but you will soon realize that your readings are well rounded even without the other cards.  We also have an indepth guide for divination through playing cards.  […]
