1. We restored the cards to their Sacred Geometric proportions, so that each card is a Golden Rectangle.

Notice the difference between the card on the left and the card on the right. On the left is a standard playing card measuring 2.5 x 3.5 inches. On the right is a card restored to the proportions of the Golden Rectangle.

Notice the difference in energy between the compacted, compressed pattern on the left and the expansive, elongated pattern on the right. When you gaze at it, which one gives you more permission to explore life outside the box?

3. We uncovered the pip patterns beneath the royal iconography of the King, Queen, and Jack.

Even when these cards were disclosed publicly in the Middle Ages, the pip patterns of the numbers 11, 12, and 13 were considered so sacred that they were kept hidden beneath royal icons. 

Here, for example, is the 13 of Diamonds, otherwise known as the "King" of Diamonds. And again, the pattern of the 13 pips reveals the meaning of the number. So, what can you see in this pattern of 13 pips that would mean this number 13 is considered the "king?"

5. Because we separated the Royals from the underneath pip patterns, the total number of cards in each suit is 16.

Each suit has 13 pip patterns plus 3 Royals.

It means the total number of cards in this Deck is 52 Patterns + 12 Royals + 2 Jokers = 66.

And in the companion class (see below), we teach you why this is significant, what it means for your own study, and how to do readings with these cards.
