Cards of Destiny: Birthday Book and Daily Divination Guide

This book was not what I thought it would be and that is OKAY!!! I love this book!!! This book explains the history of using cards as a tool for divination and then gives you your birthday cards as well as a daily card divination. This is a fun book that I gladly recommend.

Wonderful!

This book is absolutely lovely, from cover to cover. I would recommend it for no other reason than it's truly original in its writing. When you become a student of the cards, you try to read all that you can, from every author. Unfortunately, most authors print descriptions of the cards that are variations of each other and you find yourself reading the same thing over and over again, not learning much (if anything) new. Not to mention that some birth card descriptions can be depressing and after you've read about yourself, you're left feeling doomed - facing a life of misery. Sharon Jeffers has presented each birthcard in her own unique style. Her book is exceptionally well-written and completely different from every other book on the subject. Her descriptions of each birth date are cheerful, optimistic and informative. I would recommend her book for the writing alone, the fact that it's also very pleasing to the eye is just an added bonus. It is truly amazing just how accurate this 'card system' is when describing personality traits. In this book, the author has captured each individuals nature beautifully. It makes a wonderful gift - not just for the student of the cards but anyone who is searching for insight into themselves, curious about their relationships or just for fun.

A Wonderful Book

The Cards of Destiny is an amazing system of divination. Anyone interested in learning about themselves, their relationships, and their destiny should read this book. I read it everyday and I use it everytime I meet someone and want to understand them better. It's an essential part of my life now.

The Best Introductory Book for the Cards

I'm thrilled to be able to point my students and clients to Sharon Jeffers' Cards of Destiny. The Birth Card delineations are insightful, spot-on accurate, and focused on the positive (aware), while offering tactful, helpful guidance for any negative (unconscious) tendencies. There is a section on how each Card tends to approach relationships, and on how children may express their Card, with guidance for parents. The suits and numbers are outlined, but the planets are not covered. This is the best introductory book. It's on my coffee table and I pick it up often. It feels to me that there is something Very Big about the publication of this "little" book. The Oracle is being revealed here in a simple, beautiful way and I think many more people will begin to use this system as a tool. We can see ourselves so easily in these pages, leading to self-awareness; and as we read about our friends and family, we can honor our differences. This is a stunningly-beautiful hardback book, illustrated with images from lovely eighteenth-century card decks. Anyone interested in the Cards will enjoy and learn from this book.
