Read more From the Preface This Conjure Cards deck is fashioned to honor both traditions of dream interpretation and fortunetelling as they arose and grew in Appalachia and other frontier American regions. Many folks in Appalachia and elsewhere have grown up hearing and learning these dream meanings and likewise learning various forms of divination, by reading tea leaves, coffee grounds, playing cards, or throwing bones. I learned how to read playing cards from my mother when I was thirteen and have been reading the cards for over a decade. In Appalachia, to dream of a death is a sign of a birth, so the Ace of Spades, the dreaded death card of American folklore, is dressed with an old baby cradle, which is also empty because to rock an empty cradle brings death, as the old saying goes. The card and image are matched together to help in memorizing their meanings by using symbols that may already be familiar to the majority of folks and can ease the task of reading them. Even after reading the cards for a full decade, I still sometimes need to refer back to my notes my mother wrote down for me. (These notes served as the basis of the booklet accompanying the deck.) But often enough, in using these cards myself, the image on the cards recall the meaning on their own. My hope is that this time-honored form of divination will be more broadly accepted andwhether youre just starting out or have been cutting the deck for yearsthat your ability to read and interpret the cards will be strengthened by it. The cards will aid you in general situations as well as in the magical realm, as some cards will recommend workings and spells to be done for a particular situation if that is what youre after. -Jake Richards Rattlesnake Rattle The Rattlesnake has been used in many ways throughout the South in folk magic and conjuration. But dream wise, the meanings are generally consistent across the area: they are a sign of envy, jealousy, and an enemy. If shown with the Five or Nine of Spades, whether upright or reversed, it shows danger and violence. The meaning is the same upright or reversed, with only the outcome changing. Upright, youre in for a battle. Reversed, its nothing to worry about now but dont let your guard down. Even after a snakes head has been severed from its body, it still has the ability to bite! Cedar As the cedar litters the forests up the mountain, the Six of Clubs speaks of a long journey on land. To dream of a cedar tree predicts success in business or whatever undertaking you go through. Reversed, it shows failed attempts and stagnation, no movement or journey. Gravestone The graveyard is the end of things. Especially worries, doubts, and troubles. This card signifies that the worst of a situation is over. However, in some instances it does foretell a loss, but not an extreme one. Lastly, depend ing on surrounding cards, the Ten of Spades can show witchcraft or evil forces at work. If paired with the Six of Clubs (Cedar) it represents a loss of faith. Reversed, this card implies more trouble ahead or enemies plotting against you. Rings A happy card, the Ace of Diamonds denotes a marriage when paired with the Two or Ten of Hearts. Otherwise, the golden rings tell of a change in luck and good news. Reversed, the card represents bad news or shows secrets, whether a secret that should be kept or one that is hidden. Read more Read more
