History Channel - Secrets of the Playing Card

Anybody saw that? Sounds pretty interesting. Maybe they will show it again.

Quote:
"Playing cards are an everyday object used for gambling and game playing the world over. But the familiar deck of cards conceals hidden meanings that have links to secret societies and the occult. Why are there four suits and why hearts, spades, diamonds, clubs? What is the significance of the picture cards? What is the meaning of the symbolism of the Tarot? We look beneath the surface of the playing card and reveal an intriguing journey from their much disputed roots in China, Persia, and Egypt. And we uncover the secrets of card design, investigating rumored Masonic links and the way the design has changed to mirror the cultures and beliefs of the people who used them through the ages. What emerges is an extraordinary story that reveals the mysteries and meanings of the humble playing card--a history that is intimately entwined with the occult, voodoo, and man's fascination with mystical beliefs."

Re: History Channel - Secrets of the Playing Card

I missed it, but I am going to search my TIVO listings to see if I can record it if it shows again. Sounds pretty freakin' interesting to me. Thanks for the heads up.

Re: History Channel - Secrets of the Playing Card

Ditto, I'll check to see if it is going to replay and record it.

Re: History Channel - Secrets of the Playing Card

Yup, it looks like I need to record this one too. Hopefully, I'll find some time to watch all the crap that is currently stored on my DVR. Knowing my luck, my wife has filled it to capacity with re-runs of "Gilmore Girls".

Re: History Channel - Secrets of the Playing Card

I haven't been able to find it on my TIVO listing. I will have to keep an eye out. If anyone knows when it will play again, please post so I don't miss out.

Re: History Channel - Secrets of the Playing Card

No talking about T.O.R.R.E.N.T.S in front of the kids!

I just saw it too. I thought it was okay, quite interesting, but I'm not sure they got all their facts straight. Still, quite informative, but a little too stylish and dramatic in tone for my taste. But definitely worth to check out if you're interested in some playing card history.
