There are remarkable mystical and mathematical connections to a deck of playing cards.
The four (4) suits (clubs, hearts, spades and diamond) represents the four seasons of the year. (spring, summer, autumn and winter).
There are fifty-two (52) cards in a deck, -52 weeks in a year.
There are thirteen (13) cards per suit, -13 lunar cycles in a year.
If you add all the values of each card plus (jack = 11, queen = 12, king = 13 and
joker = 1) total is 365 = 365 days in a year.
Now,
isn't that nice to play poker with?
