Cards of Destiny: A Birthday Book And Daily Divination Guide

Once a powerful tool for time keeping and divination, an ordinary deck of playing cards contains the keys to humankind’s destiny within its sacred numbers and symbols. In CARDS OF DESTINY, the characteristics of each card are described in detail, giving readers insight into their own lives and the personalities of friends or lovers. By determining which cards are associated with our birthday or other days of interest, we can learn to use the power of the cards for happiness, fulfillment, and success.

From the Publisher * A two-part gift book combining the mystical science of playing cards with the ancient power of the calendar to reveal the universal influences ruling each day of the year. *

The birthday book features detailed descriptions of each card’s characteristics, a birthday chart to locate one’s associated card, and a place to record the birthdays of friends and family. * The daily divination guide features a perpetual calendar summarizing the energetic influences of the cards on a day-to-day basis. * Includes 52 full-color reproductions of playing cards dating back to the 15th century. * Includes a Sun Card (describing how others see us) and a Spirit Card (describing our inner selves).

It’s in the cards!, June 19, 2008 By Margaret Guiler "Wise Woman" Periodically I order 10 or more copies of Sharon Jeffers’ book from Amazon to give to friends. I have been a fan of this book since it was published. Ms. Jeffers provides excellent portraits of every card in the deck. She certainly got mine to perfection. And everyone else I know who has read their own card depiction has agreed. A great gift book, and one to have for your own use to look up all the folks in your life, to see what makes them the way they are....both good and bad. It’s a winner.

I would recommend it for no other reason than it’s truly original in its writing. When you become a student of the cards, you try to read all that you can, from every author. Unfortunately, most authors print descriptions of the cards that are variations of each other and you find yourself reading the same thing over and over again, not learning much (if anything) new. Not to mention that some birth card descriptions can be depressing and after you’ve read about yourself, you’re left feeling doomed - facing a life of misery. Sharon Jeffers has presented each birthcard in her own unique style. Her book is exceptionally well-written and completely different from every other book on the subject. Her descriptions of each birth date are cheerful, optimistic and informative. I would recommend her book for the writing alone, the fact that it’s also very pleasing to the eye is just an added bonus. It is truly amazing just how accurate this ’card system’ is when describing personality traits. In this book, the author has captured each individuals nature beautifully. It makes a wonderful gift - not just for the student of the cards but anyone who is searching for insight into themselves, curious about their relationships or just for fun.

The Birth Card delineations are insightful, spot-on accurate, and focused on the positive (aware), while offering tactful, helpful guidance for any negative (unconscious) tendencies. There is a section on how each Card tends to approach relationships, and on how children may express their Card, with guidance for parents. The suits and numbers are outlined, but the planets are not covered. This is the best introductory book. It’s on my coffee table and I pick it up often. It feels to me that there is something Very Big about the publication of this "little" book. The Oracle is being revealed here in a simple, beautiful way and I think many more people will begin to use this system as a tool. We can see ourselves so easily in these pages, leading to self-awareness; and as we read about our friends and family, we can honor our differences. This is a stunningly-beautiful hardback book, illustrated with images from lovely eighteenth-century card decks. Anyone interested in the Cards will enjoy and learn from this book.

Really! It has color illustrations from four decks! Whether you know nothing about the ’Science of the Cards’ or have been a student for a while, you will enjoy looking at them & soaring with the inspiration of the scenes with the pips (Ace thru 10) worked into them. The author has included an excellent basic introduction to the main components of the System. No information overload, yet enough to whet the appetite for MORE. It will be useful to the widest span of audience. A great ’coffee table’ or conversation piece to get people interested. Buy a copy for your local library. Give it as a gift to a family member or friend who ’plays’ cards. And don’t forget to bookmark the author’s website in your Favorites list!A Wonderful Book, June 6, 2006 By McJic (Cincinnati, OH) - See all my reviews The Cards of Destiny is an amazing system of divination.
