I’ve always been into playing cards and tarot stuff. One day, I got really curious about what playing card represents the 3 of swords. So, I decided to do some hands – on exploration to find out the answer.
First, I started by gathering all my playing card decks and tarot decks. I spread them out on my living – room floor. It looked like a colorful mess, but I was excited to dig in. I grabbed my old notebook and a pen to jot down my findings.
I dug into some old books about tarot and playing cards that I had lying around. I flipped through the pages, looking for any mention of the connection between the 3 of swords and a regular playing card. It was like a treasure hunt, and I was determined to find the hidden treasure.
Next, I logged onto some online forums where card enthusiasts hang out. I posted my question and waited for responses. People started chiming in with all sorts of ideas. Some said it could be the 3 of spades in a regular deck, while others had different opinions.
I started comparing the imagery of the 3 of swords in tarot with the cards in a playing deck. The 3 of swords in tarot usually shows three swords piercing a heart, symbolizing pain and sorrow. I looked at the 3 of spades, and the spades kind of looked like little swords. But I wasn’t fully convinced yet.
I decided to do a little experiment. I shuffled both the tarot deck and the playing card deck. Then, I drew the 3 of swords from the tarot deck and tried to draw a card from the playing deck that “felt” right. I did this several times, and more often than not, I ended up with the 3 of spades.
After a few days of research and experimentation, I came to a conclusion. Based on what I’ve seen and experienced, it seems that the 3 of spades in a regular playing card deck is the closest match to the 3 of swords in tarot. But I know this might not be a universal truth, and there could be other valid answers.
All in all, this little adventure of mine was super fun. It got me thinking about how different card systems can be related, and it made me appreciate these little pieces of cardboard even more. Who knows what other cool connections I’ll discover next?
