Today’s pull from Georgie’s Magic Card Collection is a Playing Card Oracle I made myself.
5 Points About This Deck
- Card Stock: The deck is made from a playing card deck I bought at a corner store for a dollar or two. The cards are plastic coated and hearty.
- Major Arcana: As a Playing Card Oracle, the only Major card is the Fool, otherwise known as the Joker – but there are two in the deck.
- Minor Arcana: As a Playing Card Oracle, the whole deck (excluding the Jokers) is made up of Minor Arcana Cards … Clubs, Hearts, Diamonds, and Spades. There’s only 3 Court Cards though … the familiar Jack, Queen, and King.
- Readability: Each card is marked with words and symbols, so whether you know how to read playing cards or not, a clear message gets through.
- Craftability: Everyone can make a deck like this – and I encourage you to do so. Just get yourself a playing card deck, some markers, some stickers, and look up some playing card divinatory meanings online … or from a book … or just make them up. It’s your deck, the rules are your own.
Making your own deck – Tarot or otherwise – is super fun. Do it.
