was for divination. The history of and meanings playing cards are
unique. There are 52 weeks in the year, there are 52 cards. There are
four suits, symbolic of perhaps of the four seasons of the year,
(spring, summer, fall, and winter), the four divisions of the day (
morning, afternoon, evening, and night), or the four elements (earth,
wind, fire, and water). The four suits also harmonize with the stages of
life: Diamonds signify youth; clubs, adulthood; hearts, maturity;
spades, old age. Also significant: There are thirteen cards in each
suit, and thirteen lunar months in the year, as well as thirteen weeks
in each quarter of the year. There are twelve court cards, because they
feature (kings, queens, and jacks). There are twelve months of the
year, and twelve zodiac houses. First printed from engraving blocks in
the fourteenth century, playing cards virtually unchanged for centuries.
