THE BOOK OF DESTINY

Imagine discovering a sacred text that reveals your life’s plan. How empowering it would be to read the record of divinity that discloses the order and purpose of your experiences, challenges and relationships? Such a book actually exists! It explains what may seem like random, chaotic, unrelated events, subject to the capricious winds of chance. The Book of Destiny, lost for untold generations, has once again been opened for all to see. It is meant only for those passionate enough to learn the true purpose and direction of their life.

While the existence of this highly revered book of life records from birth to death was confirmed back in 1893, it was only recently that the depth of this ancient knowledge has been unveiled. And like so many of life’s greatest secrets, it was cleverly hidden in plain sight for all to see—tucked away for safe keeping in a deck of ordinary playing cards. Who would ever guess that common Jacks, Queens, Kings and Aces mysteriously hold the most intimate secrets of our daily lives? 

THE LITTLE BOOK

How ironic that this fabled book has been here all along, right in our hands playing games like poker and solitaire. No one knew the power that each little pack holds. Yet references about this “little book” of cards were made in the Bible. In the Book of Revelation, it says, “And I went unto the angel, and said unto him, ‘Give me the Little Book.’ And he said unto me, ‘Take it, and eat it up; and it shall make thy belly bitter, but it shall be in thy mouth sweet as honey.’” I know personally that it is hard to digest this bitter-sweet truth, but the proof lies in the cards themselves and validity of the records of our lives contained within.

COURT CARDS

Let’s take a closer look at the cards and their true meanings. First there are 52 cards in the deck representing the 52 weeks in a year. The 12 court cards—the Jacks, Queens and Kings— represent the 12 months in a year. If you add the face value of each card  together, which adds up to 364, then add the Joker (valued at 1¼), they add up to 365¼, the number of days in a year. The four suits—Hearts, Clubs, Diamonds, and Spades—represent the four seasons: Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter. The 13 cards in each suit represent the 13 weeks in each season and the 13 lunar cycles in each year.

Each day of the year is represented by one of the 53 cards. For every birthday, there is a card, an archetype or personality, associated with it and a record for that life. Each record comes with a full spread of cards that reveals both the high and low sides of our personalities, our karmic relationships, and things we have chosen to work on in this lifetime from birth to death. Not only do they reveal our chosen destiny with astounding accuracy but also the precise workings of each day of our lives. It gives specific dates, events, what will happen, and with whom! When you learn about the cards of your life, a true revelation occurs—like looking in the mirror for the first time.

ATLANTIS

The esoteric science of the cards, which incorporates astrology and numerology, dates back to Atlantis. It is said that the playing cards are the original tarot cards and were carved on ivory tablets and used exclusively in the temples by the priests. The oldest printed material available to us now is from Olney Richmond, a mathematician and astrologer, who published information about the cards in his first book, The Mystic Test Book. It was called that because everything inside could be tested for its validity.

Beyond self understanding, the cards reveal when you will fall in love, get married, make a lot of money, change careers, relocate, or if you are going to be in a partnership and with whom. In today's economy this invaluable knowledge will help you capitalize on the opportunities that are on the way. We are in the game called "Life" and all the cards have been dealt. “Life is like a game of cards,” said Jawaharlal Nehru, the former Prime Minister of India. “The hand you are dealt is determinism; the way you play is free will.” Learn what winning cards you are holding and make your life personally and professionally more successful and fulfilling.

Your birthday is the key to unlocking the sacred Book of Destiny and your destiny: past, present and future!
