card system expansion
There is a card system of divination and "set in stone" life influences that is based on a regular deck of playing cards and your date of birth. The first book published on the subject was Olney Richmond's Mystic Test Book, in 1893.
The system has been expanded upon by various students and authors, including, Arne Lein (What's Your Card?), Robert Camp (Love Cards, Destiny Cards), Florence Campbell (Sacred Symbols of the Ancients), and Gina Jones (Cards of Life).
I learned about the cards in 1998 and have worked with and dissected the system for years. I'm not going to post my full text yet, but the table I created below connects various aspects of our existence with the 4 suits. It combines some already known/written about attributes with a number of new things that are based on my own theories/experiences.
