In this post I start the section of the book with the interpretation of the cards in the suit of Diamonds. In other news, the other book I ordered (also in French) arrived this week, so I can start doing some comparisons, but I don’t want that to color this translation work, so I’ll refrain from posting any of the comparative data until after I finish this current work. Enjoy! Ace of Diamonds [Group: The Unforeseen] This card represents good news in terms of business. Interesting propositions, fruitful projects, and … Continue reading
