2 Yep, I think you are referring to Tarot cards. However, there are several other types of card decks that can be used for divination, including regular old playing cards (which, btw, are derived from the Tarot deck) .
3 Tarot cards have a set of specific pictures of people or objects, not just 5 symbols. It really does sound like you're describing Zener cards, except they have a square rather than a triangle. Whatever cards someone uses, the purpose is to focus the reader's thoughts (intuition).
In theory, a reader could actually just make a deck with pictures/symbols relevant to her and use that. If the Zener cards are meaningful to you, Google will show you several sites that sell them.
4 At the risk of sounding like I need to adjust my tin foil hat, the bottom line is that you can use any card deck, bag of runes, pile of sticks, tea leaves, etc for the same end. The objects are simply as a tool to focus and help one relate to the larger force at hand, that force being a connection to our higher spiritual beings.
Dougiedoggone replied to post #4: 5 The same is true of a mantra which is a word or phrase repeated inwardly over and over to help still the mind and allow the intuitive mind to focus. It doesn't matter what the actual words are...they are just a device or tool as YoBob has stated.
As mention saw this cards in the movie The Gift. About woman in the deep south small town were folk go see her for a reading . Perhaps they ask her a question which they like a answer.
The reader ask them to cut deck cards, read shuffle cards then flips one card over at time, each card has a symbol O,+, square, trangle,waveof3 lines, also some flips may show several cards same symbol. I like to know name of this perdiction cards. I saw on google card that had these symbols name Zener.
Buy these card name for testing pyshic ablity. Whil this woman was using simular cards but for reading perdicting etc. I have seen these type sybol cards used before for same thing perdicting kinda llike same reasons readers us Tarot cards. So I like the name of these symbol cards and maybe where can buy them.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
