Did you know that the Traditional Deck of the Playing Cards are a veritable and most ingenious form of a Calendar?😳

There are 52 weeks in the year and so are 52 Playing Cards in a Deck.😳

There are 13 weeks in each Season and thus there are 13 cards in each suit. 😳

There are 4 Seasons in a Year and 4 Suits in the Deck. 😳

There are 12 Months in a Year so there are 12 Court Cards (Those with faces namely Jacks, Queens with The Kings in each suit) 😳

The Red Cards represent the Day, while the Black Cards represent the Night.
😳

If you let
Jacks = 11, Queens = 12, and the Kings = 13, then add up all the sums of 1 + 2 + 3 + …to 13 = 91. Multiply this by 4, for the 4 Suits, therefore 91 x 4 = 364, Add 1 that is the Joker and you will arrive at the number 365 being the Days in a Year? 😳

Is that a mere coincidence or a greater intelligence ?😳

Of interest is the sum of the letters in all the names of the cards; eg :

add up the letters in "one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, Jack, Queen, King" = 52 ! 😳

The Spades indicate ploughing / working.😳

The Hearts indicates Love thy crops. 😳

The Clubs indicates flourishing and growth.
😳

The Diamonds indicate reaping the Wealth.😳

Also, in some card games, 2 Jokers are used. .Indicating the Leap year.😳

There is a deeper Philosophy than just merely a Game of Playing Cards.😳😳

The Mathematical perfection is mind blowing.
