Thanks from:
Our deck of playing cards is in truth a symbolic representation of our calendar.
The numeric values in a deck of cards match our calendar perfectly.

52 cards = 52 weeks of the year
12 face cards = 12 months; also 12 signs of the zodiac
4 suits = 4 seasons
13 cards in each suit = 13 weeks in each season / or the 13 lunar cycles (full and new moons)
2 colors of the deck = 2 halves of the year (summer solstice and winter equinox)

But the real clincher is when we add up the numeric, or spot, value of each card in the deck. The entire deck added together comes to 364. But with the addition of the Joker, which is considered to have a spot value of 1.25, we get 365.25,..exactly the number of days in our calendar year. The extra .25 accounts for leap year.

Our cards are in perfect design for planet Earth solely. They do not represent the cycles of any other planet known to exist. Our deck of cards truly are uniquely devised with us in mind. Cool huh?

Some more fun and useless trivia....

Historical Personage:

King of Hearts = Charlemagne
King of Spades = King David
King of Diamonds = Julius Caesar
King of Clubs = Alexander the Great

Queen of Hearts = Judith (of the Book of Judith, an Apocryphal Book of the Bible)
Queen of Spades = Pallas, a.k.a. Minerva
Queen of Diamonds = Rachel (of the Bible)
Queen of Clubs = Argine, an anagram of Regina, Latin for 'queen'

Jack of Hearts = "La Hire," a famous French warrior a.k.a. Etienne de Vignoles
Jack of Spades = Hogier the Dane, one of Charlemagne's paladins
Jack of Diamonds = Hector of Troy, or alternately, Roland of France
Jack of Clubs = Sir Lancelot

Now that's interesting. If this was 1986, I'd never have run into this information/trivia. There's something to be said for the net! (And of course, this wonderful site!)

Al Gore wishes he was the creator of the internet!! lol Numerous computer science engineers and visionaries, before Al Gore even stepped into the scene, are the true creators of the internet.

Numerology is a wonderful thing! No wonder we used to read our destiny from the cards. Thanks for pointing this out ishin, now I have developed more respect for my deck of cards. It's like this gave them a new meaning.
