Le Livre — Encrypted Volume
“The Book is an encrypted volume — data that exists but cannot be read without the proper key. It represents secrets, hidden knowledge, education, and things not yet discovered. The spine faces left, meaning the card to its left is more deeply hidden. To access what the Book contains, one must study, learn, or find the decryption key.”
Combination Effect
Conceals the adjacent card — adds secrecy, hidden knowledge, education, or undiscovered information to the other card's meaning; the spine side (left) hides more
