Design of seven cartomancy packages; Tarot reading with playing cards

Cartomancy is the art of divination that is performed with a normal deck of cards. The most common form of reading in Cartomancy is the seven-pack or seven-triplet layout. Learn how this differential is handled and what it says about a customer’s future.

Roots of cartomancy in the Tarot

Just as Tarot reading predates Cartomancy, the Tarot deck with its ornate Major Arcana and beautiful illustrations came long before the common deck of cards. Tarot decks were generally lovingly handcrafted, the works of a skilled artist. The cards were crude and simple, designed for common use and to be mass-produced for everyone to have. With the Major Arcana discarded and the court cards reduced from four per suit to three, the cards were simply produced and became a common household pastime. But, people still wanted the ability to perform fortune telling and read fortunes with these new cards. Readers developed a suit-based system, derived from their Tarot readings. These traditions were passed down orally until the first printers collected them and printed simple graphics of meaning to sell with their new decks.

The seven pack design

This margin, also known as the seven triples design, is distributed as follows. First, a client file is chosen for the subject of the reading; either a King or Queen card, and is placed in the center before the reader. The customer then shuffles and cuts the remaining cards, minus the jokers. Then, the first (21) cards are dealt in a fan shape, forming seven hands or piles of three cards each. Hands are dealt one card at a time from left to right, with three hands to the left of the client card, one hand just above the card, and the last three hands fanned out to the right of the client card. Then each pile of three cards is turned over and examined as a group from left to right. The three groups of cards are considered individually and also in combination with each other to determine the reading for that particular pile.

Pack Positions and Their Meaning

Each of the seven hands or packages speaks of a particular facet of the client’s reading. They are read from left to right in front of the client’s letter, as they were distributed. The first package describes the personality and mood of the customer. These letters should be interpreted in terms of current influences that are shaping the client’s overall thoughts. The second packet gives us information about the client’s family and home life, or lack thereof. This describes the effects on those around the customer and how they interact with them. The third hand refers to the present wishes and aspirations of the clients; This tells us what your immediate goals are. The fourth hand, dealt immediately above the client’s card, predicts the client’s hopes and expectations. This tells us what they want and what they think will happen. The fifth hand, just to the right of the center, represents the unexpected in the client’s reading. They can be people, events, money, or problems. The only certainty is that this deck describes things not wanted by the client. The sixth hand predicts the immediate future of the client. This deck will forecast events that will happen in a matter of days; certainly within the next month or so. The seventh and final deck heralds a more distant future for customers. This triple will reveal something that will happen within the next year or so. It often predicts some resolution of the unexpected factors predicted in deck five.

conclusion

Cartomancy allows us to take a common deck of cards and perform divination for our friends and for ourselves. It is easy to learn and can be done almost anywhere with excellent results.
