The Persian Pahlavi system provides devices and methods broader and more comprehensive than those in common card reading. In this system the cards have great diversity of meaning and embrace nearly every phase of life from the highest to the lowest, so that the reader will with practice be able to give a reading with as great accuracy and detail as is now possible in cartomancy.
Regarding its systematic approach of cards and rules it can be best compared to the Tarot, although being different from it. The deck was recreated based on cards that were mostly lost in time.
The following provides a brief overview of this unusal card deck, please refer to the manual for the complete instructions.
The deck features 54 cards:
These cards have various aspects, and they influence each other based on their relative position to each other. The reading is done based on these influences as well as on other factors, for example:
The cards are shuffled and then spread out in a rectangle.
The principal approach: In reading a given card, the next card above it is called the Ruler and acts according to its color to change or modify the meaning of the card being read, and may in turn be modified by the next card above. This second card above is called a Qualifier, and imparts its quality of Good, Neutral, or Evil to the Ruler, and thus may overcome or change the effect of a Ruler of a different quality.
The manual has to be consulted for an exact interpretation. Rules, exceptions and special constellations are explained therein.
Using this deck is an art and you have to partly teach this art yourself, although each card and its possible constellations are explained in detail in the guidebook.
