The Pocket Guide

The Pocket Guide is the whole deck held in the hand: every card read through the same three layers used across the archive — the reading, the mechanism, the shadow. No keyword lists, no upright-and-reversed tables. A single, consistent way of thinking, applied seventy-eight times.

Designed to be opened mid-reading and closed again quickly. It tells you how a card argues, not what will happen — and where the same gift, overextended, becomes the trap.
