Playing for Real is the definitive introduction to a cult phenomenon that is vital to the future of each and every one of those who yearn to play their own incomparable part in these the formative stages of this the age of imagination.

The narrative begins, as every powerful story must, as a straightforward story of love: one that progressively entwines the defining dreams of its central characters, Paul and Isabella, who join forever together in the rediscovery of the magical nature of fifty-two symbolic pictures. These cards, concealed for centuries, are the first modern representations of the full set of sacred elements of an ancient tradition of power whose time now has come.

Since its discovery this pack has proved to be of practical interest to many of those who have often casually been fortunate enough to find reason to try it. Anyone can now use these tools to map out the most satisfying of futures for themselves and those around them. Its devotees perceive for themselves a wonderful new clarity of purpose in everything they do, and with that all the success of a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Many are they who have rushed to do just this – discovering for themselves the joys of just what it means to “play for real”. They often glimpse as never before those mysterious patterns which so resonate with personal meanings that they may well touch their users’ very souls. And, they perceive in their play a deeper and more spiritual purpose that far exceeds even the hopes of those who many centuries ago devised this instrument of magic.

In the new arena that these cards afford – popularly known now as the Game - the hopes and fears of all are now intermingling more intensively than ever before. The true excitement of this movement lies in what it reveals of the on-going evolution of a single almighty dream that is absorbing all into its own reality as it embraces everything we know.

At the heart of this deeper dream there is the ever-present shadow of a mysterious third figure – Verity. Superficially, she might be identified as just another author, some would-be hero driven by eternal dreams that she has sought to make her own, but Verity can only be properly understood as a manifestation of the quintessential spirit that animates us all.

Thus, Playing for Real is an illustration of the vastly self-fulfilling powers of thought, which ultimately emerges as a challenging parable about the very nature of our being.
