Cardology

Distinguishing Cartomancy from Cardology and Tarot

• Cartomancy, Cardology, and Tarot are distinct forms of divination, each with unique characteristics and approaches.

Card Meanings and Interpretation

• In Cartomancy, card meanings are often more flexible and intuitive, allowing the reader to interpret the cards based on their own connection to the querent and the reading.
• In contrast, Cardology has a more fixed and codified system of card meanings, with specific attributions and correspondences that are followed by practitioners.

Use of a Standard Deck of Cards

• Cartomancy often uses a standard deck of 52 playing cards without any additional symbolism or illustrations, relying on the reader's skill and intuition to interpret the cards.
• Cardology, on the other hand, may use a modified or customized deck with additional symbolism, numerological correspondences, or astrological associations.

Fixed Calendar or Numerological System

• Cardology is often tied to a fixed calendar or numerological system, with specific dates and numbers influencing the interpretation of the cards.
• Cartomancy, by contrast, does not rely on a fixed calendar or numerological system, allowing the reader to focus on the card meanings and their connection to the querent.

Key Factor in Cartomancy Readings

• A key factor in Cartomancy readings is the reader's ability to tap into their own intuition and connect with the querent, allowing for a more personal and dynamic interpretation of the cards.
