Preface
Preface
Long ago, since the beginning of time, there have been twenty entities, immortals, who kept this world in balance. These people have always been in the world, and always will be. They represent key points of discovering and learning in life, and with their help, the world runs smoothly.
When all is well, these people are invisible, each playing his or her role, then passing on the role to the next person down the line, like a set of waves breaking on the coast, one after another. The Gypsies were the first to notice these people and sought them out.
When discovered, these people did not punish the Gypsies, and instead, passed on their information, and gave them the power to see into the future. These powers were given, but only in one condition, they Gypsies had to find a object to contain the power. The Gypsies picked a most fitting entity to place the power. They chose a simple deck of Tarot Cards, seventy-eight in all, based off the people themselves.
The beings took this deck and blessed it, giving it a small bit of their own power. Each card having a power of its own, while as a whole the deck had intelligence, and, when used as one, told the future without lie, though it was removed from the stone of time and place.
This deck was passed on from Mother to Daughter, from Mother to Son. Wars were fought over this deck between families, and blood feuds were started. Soon after the wars, the deck disappeared, believed to be taken away be the Beings themselves, not seeing the Gypsies fit to hold them anymore. That is why this book was made, to inform future generations of this loss, and to teach them, and maybe, someday, the deck will return. And the current holder can seek out the Beings, and reinstate the powers placed into the cards.
