So interesting. Well, you can carry on the tradition of reading with playing cards, even if it is a different method. Wonderful to work within the family lineage in this art...
Ana Cortez Thank you, I’d absolutely love to learn. My Grandma was the only one who understood me bc we both have dreams that come true. Most ppl think I’m crazy, but I’ve been dreaming about things before they happen since childhood. I’d love to discuss things with you if you have some time. Please email me kimwolford1984@icloud.com I’d very much appreciate it and I thank you for responding. Smile 😃
Awakened Grayce no doubt! What a pleasure that would be to learn from the people who know you so well & love you! I hope you’re able to do so Grayce. 😃
@@nunyabidnazz2311 thank you so much, unfortunately both are beyond the veil. I never knew my maternal grandmother she died when my mom was a young girl and her father died when I was in my late teens. Divination is in my blood for sure!❤
Dear Ana, I have been using the tarot for 3 years now, but the thought of using a normal card deck for divination has been a very attractive concept. So, I entered a forum to do some cartomancy researh and saw your videos and book being recommended as a primary source for studying. However, what blows my mind is that you also use geomancy along with the cards, and I happen to be studying geomancy for the past weeks! What a coincidence! I am very happy I found your channel and I am definitely watching the rest of your videos! Take care!
Hi ClioMako, somehow this comment slipped my attention, so sorry for the late response. Thanks so much for reaching out. Yes, the geo is amazing the way it works with the Playing Cards. Always a good sign when synchronicities light the way :-)) Hope you have continued your studies. Thanks again
Ana Cortez Hello Ana. No worries about it. My cartomancy skills are rather humble at the moment, but I enjoy it very much. I have also been studying traditional astrology. As you said with geomancy, it is always a good sign when different systems overlap, it just makes things more exciting. I still think your resources are some of the best around. Take care and much love. :)
I am so glad I found you.... I dont know how. Your teachings are of great help and knowledge thank you so very much. I am so interested in learning to read through playing cards. My family will never support card reading for me so having my playing cards saves me from alot of mess and discussions, with your help I can secretly practice my readings without any trouble. You explained it all so well ... it LITERALLY did ignite the excitement to learn and practice cartomacy with playing cards..... THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH ♥️
I'm not sure if you will ever read this but must try. Haven't done cartomancy before but yes to tarot (yrs ago). Bought a new deck. While watching a movie tonight shuffled the deck and then intentionally forced cards opposite direction as it felt I should. After 45 minutes looked at the deck and EVERY single card was in the upright position. This cannot be?! How? Wasn't paying attention, just wanted to get feel of cards. Has this happened to anyone else?
Regarding to what you explained in the video about Lady cards, I think your idea is similar to Tarot cards system that adds Knight suit cards into the Tarot deck. The Knights are more like Jack cards. Then Tarot changes the original Jack to Knave or Page will be male or female.
red cards is female black cards is male to me but i agree with everything... However thank you for the work done here, its a beautiful post. Happy holidays to you! bless
❤ Hello Ana, I really love your teachings and am gonna order the set as soon. I am happy you consider the 10 in court because intuitively I do that too. I study programming and yes, coding and de-coding is life; let's create 🎉
Hello, Thanks for the video! I like the way you matched the weeks of the year with the total of poker cards, but what about the jokers? I think those are representations of "The fool", which is a card full of meaning. Should we remove them?
Hi Francisco. Thanks for commenting. Yes, I agree, fool card is full of meaning... and for certain layouts that make use of the cards as a lunar calendar, yes, it needs to be removed beforehand. It is possible, however, to pull out and use as a signifying card. Works very nicely this way, or if you're not working with the calendar of course no need to remove. Hope this helps and thanks again for your question :-))
Dear Ana, What a Mesmerising Introduction 🎄🎈✨. I am glued. For sure, I will watch all Videos. Thanks for introducing Geomancy. In India, we have Vaasthu Shastra, Cousin Feng Shui in Asia. Looking forward to learn from you! Love from India 🎈Ganga
Geomancy is an excellent form of divination, using different patterns of dots drawn in sand or with a pen usually, but it is not at all similar to Feng Shui or Vastu Shastra. However Ana Cortez weaves in the geomancy into the playing card spreads in a very helpful way that provides a complementary set of data for a more comprehensive divination.
I would like to start learning with the vintage deck your father used. What is the name of that deck? You sell 3 diff decks. Which one are you showing ?
Hi Ana, your book is OOP? I can't seem to find a copy on Ebay for under 60. I have the deck and pamphlet, but was hoping to get the book as well some day.
Hi. No, definitely not out of print although some sites would have you think so! When I haven't gotten around to supplying amazon you can always find at my site, store dot anacortez dot com. Thanks for asking!! :-))
