Cartomancy

The telling of fortunes with playing cards

Playing cards haven been used since 1360 in Europe by card readers to tell the future and give help and advice for present matters.

A common divination practice includes the concentration on one's question or present problem and the selection of a single card to get advice and insight.

This can be done intuitively by deliberately choosing a card one feels drawn to or by a random process. This page provides a shuffled deck in random sequence for the questioner to do so.
