My Introduction to Destiny Cards

Originally published in IAC Newsletter Wednesday, July 11, 2018

At a very young age I found myself drawn towards the divinatory arts of astrology and numerology. The women in my early childhood were very influential in my life and their interests helped to fuel mine. These women were always reading their daily horoscopes to see what may be lurking in their future. And several of them would even occasionally visit the local gypsy fortune teller, who would gaze into their life and reveal their past, present, and future. I would hear them speak of these readings and found myself intrigued by their talk.

I dabbled a bit in Astrology and Numerology over the years and old bookstores have been places where I find solace and a sense of recollection. It was in 1994, while enjoying time in an old bookstore in Tempe Arizona, that I came across a lovingly used book called "The Secret Language of Birthdays" written by Gary Goldschneider and Joost Elffers. This book is based on a combination of astrology, numerology, the tarot, and the personal observations of over 14,000 people by Gary Goldschneider. I became fascinated with the book and found it to be the start of my education into comprehending my friends, family, and yes, even myself. 

Then another book by Gary and Joost called "The Secret Language of Relationships" came into my life and my mind opened up like a sponge, absorbing all of the information it could.

Shortly after discovering these books I discovered  the one that truly fueled my new found passion, "Sacred Symbols of the Ancients" by Edith L. Randall and Florence Evylinn Campbell. This book was my first real introduction to the Science of the Cards in this lifetime.

I started reading this book and it was like the floodgates opened. I felt very connected to the knowledge contained within and this knowledge truly resonated within me. I have always had a flair for remembering numbers and dates and often times I'll remember someone's destiny card and birthday even before their name. There have been many times where I have told someone their destiny card and birthday just by listening to them speak for a few moments. The knowledge that the destiny cards offer us can be a great way to help us discover who we truly are and what we are here to face and accomplish in this life time.     

For the first time in my life I have found my passion. Giving myself and others guidance, encouragement, compassion, and forgiveness. With the powerful knowledge that the cards offer my life's journey has been much better and more sweeter to navigate.
