What’s on the cards?

Image obtained from photobucket.com


Have you ever looked at the pictures printed on a King, Queen and Jack? Have you realised that each and every King, Queen and Jack differs from each other when one compares different suits (hearts, diamonds, clovers and spades). I was absolutely horrified to see that the King of Hearts is actually stabbing himself with a sword! Immediately, the investigation began! What do these drawings mean? Let’s find out!

The meaning behind the ‘King of Hearts’ (good advice) does not match the imagery UNLESS it implies that it is a good idea to kill yourself. What have you come across when comparing the meaning and imagery of a normal deck of cards? Have a look and post a comment.
