Mystery of the Cards


For nearly 1,000 years, the origins of playing cards remain a mystery to the scholars of antiquity. Centuries pass and the mystery remains unsolved while playing cards are bought, sold and collected by millions of people around the world. There are always 52 cards, 4 suits, 2 colors, 12 faces of Nobility and that odd and seemingly useless Joker. One thousand years later, we still don't know who invented them, but the original design of the 52-card deck is wholly intact. Quite a remarkable test of time for what are essentially 52 pieces of loose paper!

But what if there is more to the Cards than games of chance? What if their true purpose is to leave nothing to chance? What if the simple and well-preserved design is a language of numbers and symbols passed down through the centuries, only preserved and concealed as the world’s greatest pastime?

I do not consider myself a tarot reader, nor do I believe in fate or destiny. I believe we are born with predisposed tendencies and our childhood experiences compel us. But our destiny is shaped by the personal choices we make every day.

For 30 years I have been using the hidden calendar in a deck of cards to help me overcome adversity and find success in my life and the lives of millions. I have learned there are no good or bad cards. It’s all in how you play them!

Born midnight on November 18 makes me a Scorpion Ace and 2 of Club. I am happiest when I can learn (Ace) and share (2) my knowledge (Club) along the way. The secrets of the soul, Spirit, His universal laws, life and the cosmos never tire me! I hope my website inspires you and encourages you to learn more about Metasymbology - the ancient science of cards.

Based upon the month and day you were born; you have a card. Your birthday card is like your zodiac sign. Instead of saying you’re a Scorpio or a Capricorn, you would say you’re a Queen of Diamond or a Nine of Spade.
