card games are old as paper itself – the real one, not papyrus – let's say between year 666 n' 999. here's an example of an original chinese deck from the 10th cent., with suits & courts like modern playing cards.

This is awesome... great research Rata!

I use the I Ching in Onmyodo practice... so much ancient knowledge is lost or hidden from us.

Love that you're into the esoterica, fren.

thenks mon. I'm more into collecting than anything. I'd play but as a sceptic speculator. 😅

🤌 Amazing collection, man... I never got into the Tarot.

Most of my knowledge comes from the East.

Might need to dig in.

One thing that gets me, is that there are 52 weeks in a year & 52 cards in a standard deck. There's gotta be a divinatory aspect  to this.

A degen tarot deck would be cool, actually. 🤔
