The Traditional Deck of playing cards is in the form of a CALENDER and is made very cleverly. Here are some interesting facts about playing cards.
- There are 52 weeks in a year and from there it comes to a Deck of 52 cards.
- There are 13 weeks in each and from there, there are 13 cards in each suit.
- There are 4 seasons in a year and from there, there are 4 Suits in a Deck.
- The RED CARDS represent the DAY and the BLACK CARDS represent the NIGHT.
There is one more observation made:-
If we add a sum of all the Count Cards i.e. 1+2+3…. +11+12+13 ( Jack = 11, Queen = 12 and King = 13) = 91 and Multiply 91 with 4 (91 x 4) = 364, Add 1 that is the Joker and you get 365, which represents the number of days in a year.
Isn’t this greater Intelligence?
Of interest is the sum of the letters in all the names of the cards; eg :
add up the letters in “one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, Jack, Queen, King” = 52 !
Also, Spades, Hearts, Diamonds, and Club has their own meaning to it which are as follows:
- Spades indicate Working/Ploughing.
- Hearts indicate Love thy crops.
- Diamonds indicate reaping the Wealth.
- Clubs indicate Flourishing and Growth.
Also, in some card games, 2 Jokers are used. Indicating the Leap year.
There is a deeper Philosophy than just merely a Game of Playing Cards.
The Mathematical perfection is mind-blowing and made this game with a very clever mind!
