The other side, maimed and eyeless, is the side seeking freedom of thought and freedom from authority. Hence only one side of the king’s face is shown, his public side. Heresy! The King of Diamonds as a pagan god offering runes means unsanctioned, unconventional or non-Christian concepts. One could lose far more then an eye…it was truly dangerous. Historically those who did not follow the doctrines of church and state were severely persecuted. The diamond is also a Masonic symbol used in sacred geometry, and this symbolism really feels Masonic in nature.Įsoteric knowledge came at a cost, especially in the past. Why have symbols of Odin offering the invention of runes to humanity? I suspect the designer used Norse mythology to make a specific point. The King of Diamonds has an axe instead of a sword…a shaft of wood with a blade at the end, which could be a stylized version of Odin’s spear Gungnir. In Norse mythology, Odin’s weapon was not a sword but the spear Gungnir. The king cards all hold swords except for the Diamond King. His other eye is hidden from view, for if it was shown eyeless the meaning of the king as Odin would be obvious. His hand is raised towards the diamond rune, as if offering it to us. The King of Diamonds has one eye and is gazing at the diamond shaped rune. In Norse mythology, Odin discovered the runes by sacrificing one of his eyes in exchange for the wisdom of runes. If the diamond actually does represent a rune, what other Norse symbolism is in the diamond cards? As the 22nd rune, 2 2 equal the 4 sides of the diamond’s shape. The meaning of this rune is the Norse god Ingwaz, or Freyr. The King of Diamonds does not represent Julius Caesar, but the Norse God Odin!Ī diamond is the shape of a rune, the Elder Futhark’s 22nd rune “ingwaz” or ing. Why these differences? What is special about this card? In addition, the King of Diamonds does not carry a sword as the 3 other kings, but an axe. The King of Diamonds is the only king card shown in profile. But the King of Diamonds differs significantly from the other three king cards. He is also the only king without a mustache. The King of Hearts has a curious pose, holding his sword behind his head. The Kings of Spades and Clubs always hold a sword. Tradition holds the cards represent the following historic kings: But is there any hidden meaning in these designs? Card manufacturers simply follow a traditional design. The exact shape of the pip or the design of the face cards’ colorful wardrobe may differ, but the essential elements remain the same. These designs have pretty much stayed the same, following an original pattern, regardless of the maker. The modern deck is based on the French design, or as we know it today the English deck. 13 cards in each suit match the 13 lunar months.There are commonly recognized correspondences with playing cards: And they are powerful symbolic representations for numerology. In cartomancy they are sparks for the intuition and may even foretell the future. They are used for amazing magic tricks, pretending supernatural powers. Gambling with cards can be either a blessing or ruin lives. Playing cards are used for games and gambling, where one interacts directly with chance (or fate). Yet, I believe there exists unrecognized symbolism hidden in plain sight in our everyday playing card. Standard playing cards are a poor symbolic cousin compared to the tarot. Is there any secret, esoteric symbolism in our common playing cards? Occult significance is known to be found in tarot cards.
