Signs vs. Warnings in Cartomancy

"I am not well civilized, really alien here: trust me not." sayeth the poet and I reiterate such a rejoinder with every thing that I utter. Listen, I'm the least superstitious person and often tempt fate by saying, "I hope lightning strikes me" or "I'd sell the soul of my only beloved child to the Devil for..." and laugh it off. But there's a huge difference between a so-called sign and a warning. When lightning strikes it's not a sign. It's a warning that you are being dangerously stupid in tempting Fate. On the other hand when you wear long socks every day for years and then suddenly, on impulse, wear short ones and you get a large raise at work, that's a sign. Maybe not the exact one that you think but it's definitely a sign.

I've probably put in a hundred hours cleaning up Ganong Cemetery, supposedly the most haunted place in Michigan (haha), and saw nary an orb. It's the living whom carry ghosts and terrorize each other. So when about 10 things happened there last summer (and I won't even mention persons) from me contracting extreme poison ivy/oak to finding a poppet to finding unearthed casket parts and a bone, not to mention a dead dog there and a trail of sullied Tarot cards after several strange encounters with various curs, I decided to never go back. Those are clear signs.

Another SIGN that appeared to me last year was the random presence of playing cards found on various walks about town. Mind you, I don't think that I've ever found one since or beforehand, though I'm sure that I did somewhere along the line. The point being, last year I found an inordinate amount of playing cards. The strangest being a Nine of Diamonds that I found at work. Since I have unofficial access to work cameras I deigned to discover where the hell the card came from because I suspected that it had been purposely placed there where I'd find it. Since it was an HD camera I went back from the time I found it to when it first appeared. A car had pulled up to pick somebody up and I carefully watched the footage and nobody appeared to drop anything as it was located in a spot where it would have been underneath the rather large car. Now, I'm not suggesting that there was some bizarre portal on the spot beneath the vehicle but the card was not there and then when the car drove off it was. Crazy, right?

Anyway, this happened to me all last year until I finally started looking into cartomancy, which I do not believe in at all, and frankly could care less about cards themselves before this happened. I even started doing readings because the signs were so strong. I have no clue what it means except that I am susceptible to intense signage from the universe. Well, I suppose that isn't entirely true but the essence of the matter is arbitrary except to me and maybe another person or two.

A Card Within a Card: 3 Jokers and Theirs

As ruminated upon in a previous post here are three more Jokers who are depicted wielding other cards within their own. The first one is openly presenting the Ace of Spades while concealing three others with a mere Diamond peeking out over one corner of the trumvirate. On the second Joker, from a Scandinavian deck, The King of Diamonds is figured prominently as the Joker leans upon it. His poppet Joker is also holding an Ace of Hearts. What it all means would depend on the manufacturer and artist, I suppose. The last specimen from Longfield Games features an Ace of Spades as the Joker stands upon a depiction of the world as a globe which seems almost 3/4 there but not quite whole. All interpretations of this and the preceding ones would be mere speculation and without knowing the artist and his source inspiration it would mainly be a stab into the void. Which is basically what this entire blog consists of.

Tart Rhymes

I came across this excellent booklet from The U. S. Playing Card Co. on Instagram and then tracked down its source to eBay where I took advantage of the generous photos on the listing and saved them in e-book form because it's the right thing to do for posterity's sake. The booklets contains a very short sequence of rhymes that make for one bizarre folktale that wouldn't cut it in today's cancel culture. Also displayed in the small booklet are some card packs produced by the company which is very helpful towards dating the cards for novices who don't have access to the company's historical records.
