Very interesting news...
"Call it a card player's dream. A complete set of 52 silver playing cards gilded in gold and dating back 400 years has been discovered. Created in Germany around 1616, the cards were engraved by a man named Michael Frömmer, who created at least one other set of silver cards."

I noticed from the link that there is controversy over whether one of the kings is in fact a queen!!! The news story mentioned there were kings, knights and knaves and no jokers. Great story and mystery combined. Lynn

The news story mentioned there were kings, knights and knaves and no jokers. Which is a little interesting historically because the suits retained the traditional Tarot cards suits: coins, wands, swords, and cups, but they lost the last remaining Major Arcana in modern playing cards: the fool. |

Actually, since I started studying this stuff, I have read in several places that, in fact, playing cards (a 52-ish card deck) came first, THEN tarot cards later, unlike what groups like Builders of the Adytum, etc., tell people.
In any event, tarot for divination or anything "occult" DEFINITELY came later, early 18th century, in France. |

Maybe I'm just dense, but what exactly was the secret the cards revealed? I couldn't find one in the story.
The secret of deception is in making the truth seem ridiculous.
