Cardmonance is the art of using normal playing cards in divination. The Clubs suit is considered the channel of wealth and success in a reading. Learn about the various meanings of the various Club cards in a client reading.
Tarot cards and Cartomancy
Just as modern playing cards developed from the tarot deck, so too did cartomancy develop from the reading of the Tarot. When the simplest deck of playing cards to produce became a common household item, a system of reading the cards for divination was derived. This oral tradition was passed down for decades until it was published by various sources. The meanings shown here are the best known in current sources. Remember, two main things make card reading easier to read than tarot; there are no Major Arcana cards to interpret, and no reverse card meanings to learn.
Clubs as Customer Cards
When a reading is done, we choose a client card to place in the center of the design to represent the person for whom the reading is being done. Tradition holds that the client’s card is chosen from the king and queen cards in all four suits. The King of Clubs is usually chosen to represent a younger, dark-haired man; while the Queen of Clubs is used to represent a younger, dark-haired woman. If any of these cards are used for the client’s card, it becomes a placeholder on the table and is not interpreted as part of the read. Of course, if the card is not the chosen customer’s card, it will be interpreted as shown below.
