The Jack, when not a younger person (I say person, because they are not 100% male or 100% female to me), can represent some form of news, a message. In your case, that was a message of money, which is a valid meaning of the Knave of Diamonds. When a Jack falls next to a King or Queen of its own suit, if it's a person, it would be a child in a family unit or a subordinate to the King or Queen if not related. If it's not a person but still next to these Court cards, then it's often read as the thoughts of the King or Queen. For me, the King is always a man, and the Queen a woman. However, the method I mainly follow (Hedgewytchery) stated that Kings can also represent power (financial power in the case of the King of Diamonds), and Queens are the emblems of truth. However, I have more often seen the Court cards (especially the King and Queen) come through as literal people, so that's what I always read them as (it's like having the Lord or Lady cards in Lenormand appear in the spread; they are nothing but literal people. Same with playing cards; the Courts are the actors, and I have the pips to describe the situation to me). If I can't identify them, maybe I haven't met them yet or they are exerting an indirect influence over the situation at hand. In a tableau using all the 52 cards, for example, you are more directly connected with the Court cards that fall on the same horizontal or vertical line of your Significator, or connect to it through methods such as counting; so you would have an easier time identifying them in real life. I think of those falling in the diagonal lines (in relation to your Significator) as "individuals just around the corner"; you can't see them directly, may not even bump into them. But if they fall near your Significator, then they are a significant influence.

And where does Dave fit ?

Ooh I’m loving the description of season two - the rich local folklore will continue on as a theme! 😍 (From Gregory’s link) “The second series will see the duo continue to investigate a succession of unsettling murder cases. Building on the unique bond forged during the first series, Ben and Diane will tackle cases rooted in the rich folklore of the region, all while contending with their clashing investigative approaches and confronting their complicated personal lives”.

And I’m a fan of Rob James-Collier. Aside from his brilliant Downton Abby performance, I also saw him in a fantasy series on Netflix. The man has a very versatile talent! And I love his accent!

I was delighted to see a few actors from BBC series that have fallen over. Not least Sarah Moyle who was in Doctors for years. A show that should have continued, so great to see her still working. Next series will air in 2027, it seems. https://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/newsliverpool/detective-series-cooper-fry-in-major-update-as-new-cast-announced/ar-AA27SE7G

Considering all the woo woo topics that this series touched upon, I think we have a lot of leeway in our discussions 😁 This explains so much. Your stellar sense of humor, among other things 😁 Very fascinating stuff!

Oh NO! we're digressing again! Do you know - a psychic once told me that I actually come from the Pleiades? (a rather cute club shaped constellation that I often look for when I'm star gazing). And... who says the Sidhe aren't aliens? 🤣 "The Pleiades is a stunning, young open star cluster in the Taurus constellation, located roughly 440 light-years away. Known as the "Seven Sisters", it contains over 1,000 stars and is easily visible to the naked eye as a tight, misty dipper shape in the winter night sky".

Mind blowing! Amazing cultural heritage!

They’re like, “lets have her believe it was just the sidhe that took her” 😁

Oh WOW! and I hadn't realised we actually have 1300 circles on this Island. What a thought really... If you can't count them - them ladies are definitely having a laugh with you 🙃

🤣 I can already "hear" my guides laughing with cheeky twinkles in their eyes.

So may not be the Study Deck from a few years back….

Thank you. Looks a LOT like this one: https://www.makeplayingcards.com/sell/marketplace/pam-a-linen.html

OK - finished. GREAT stuff - thanks Raggydoll ! (And yes, had the Satan guy figured from episode 2 - but not quite how evil !)

Link to the deck there, please ?

Hi all, Just following-up on the above after some time. The current MPC Study Deck is by the same creator (P.K) but I’m wondering if it is the same deck as was released 10 years ago or if this is a slightly different design. I can’t seem to get any information from MPC and have tried but failed to contact the creator. Anybody own the original deck and/or this deck?

It definitely sounds like the place is well spirited Yay!

WE have a good stone circle near us: Long Meg. I have tried to count the stones MANY times and never came to the same total..... The second series has already been filmed. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cooper_and_Fry_(TV_series)

Beautiful picture! Thank you for sharing! I think you should do a reading to find out! 😁

And just because it's English folklore, here is "a lady dancing in the circle": Legend has it, that if you dance in the circle... The Sidhe will come and take you away. D'you think they did it and then wiped my memory?? 🤣 "The Merry Maidens is a Late Neolithic stone circle situated in Cornwall, about 2 miles south of St Buryan. It consists of 19 granite megaliths forming an almost perfect 24-meter circle. The stones range from 0.9 to 1.4 meters in height and are graded in size. According to local legend, the stones were originally a group of maidens and two musicians (the nearby standing stones known as The Pipers) turned to stone for dancing on the Sabbath".

Oh WOW - now that was a great ending in episode 4! I had been wondering about the ever-so-subtle & occasional suggestion of menace from DS Eland, and how he then fits the description of 'the devil unseen outside the circle, pulling all the strings' - is pretty cool. Plus - I was also wondering why we kept seeing posters of missing cats! (I tend to notice missing cat posters - I've had a few real incidents myself with such things). I love that Diane decided she would not fulfil her card prediction (perfectly demonstrating how a prediction can spur the sitter to work for a different outcome). And I really liked previously to that - how DC Cooper said to Diane - "take people as they come - or else they won't talk to ya". Ravi was pretty creepy in his own little way too. IMO this series hit the nail on the head - for how card readings unfold in real time, how generally down-to-earth and 'normal' card readers actually are, and how belief, folklore and superstition can work in a community. Thanks so much for the head-ups on this series @Raggydoll . It looks like they are planning to have further series as there's still the unsolved piece at the end. I shall be waiting hopefully.

Lol. I gave my Etteilla deck away. How cool is that? 😇

It is nice to be back. I still tire quite quickly so I’m not around a lot. But I did miss talking cards etc
