What to do with the Joker ?

What to do with the Joker ?


Today I added a Joker to my cartomancy deck.
I decided to draw an Angel to represent the spiritual part of the Joker, the Holy Fool who travels the lifepath.

My way of cartomancy with  the Blue (Neutral) Joker:
Whenever I would use the whole deck in a 8×7 spread, I first shuffle the Joker in the deck to become the significator in the spread.
After laying down the cards in the spread, there wil be one card left as a special comment on the spread.
To add another layer of interpretation I might choose to draw one of my  malachim cards to receive a message from the Angel of the moment.

Cartomancy For the Witch of Poor Memory – The Courts


Today I finished the Courts!

The firstmost rule is easily had:
Red cards are good and black cards are bad.  

The secondmost rule shall bring greater fruits:
It deals with the meanings of each of the suits.
The Hearts count as love, family, and friends.
Diamonds are money, wealth, means, and ends.
Clubs shall mean work, callings, and plans,
And Spades are the troubles that plague every man.  

The thirdmost rule toward number inclines;
Just note the card’s pip and read here their signs:  
…
While Kings are the symbols Of power and men.
Queens are the emblems Of women and truth,
A Knave is a message, A girl, or a youth.
