¶ "The cards are not magic. They do not foretell the future, nor can they evaluate the past. But in the hands of a skilled practitioner they can be used to study the unconscious mind. All methods rely on the questioner having a sincere purpose in asking the question, thus enabling him to evoke the answer from within his own mind."
