Note: These cards are to be used intuitively. Learn the mythology and stories of the gods (audio stories below). Based on your learnings, you can make predictions. These are some basic interpretations made by me. Once you learn the story, you will be able to develop more interpretations intuitively.
Eg. If you draw ‘Anu’ card, you can make a prediction that one will be blessed with ability to create.

Non-fiction book: A research-work
This book is not a direct part of the deck guide. Rather it is for those who wish to dive deeper in the history and geopolitics.
This book is an independent sub-part of our whole project related to the Epic of Gilgamesh and Annunaki mythology. While studying this ancient history, many questions came in my mind – How did the Annunakis lived for thousands of years? What are the current names of those Mesopotamian cities? What happened in Mesopotamia after Gilgamesh? and many more…. hence I started to dive deep into this topic and tried to find answers to my questions. Based on my research, I have written this non-fiction booklet.
Here’s a glimpse of what the book covers-
Chapter 1: The Sumerian King List
Chapter 2: The Land between Two Rivers
Chapter 3: Untangling the Epic of Gilgamesh
Chapter 4: From the Kaaba to the Caliphate
Chapter 5: The Mystery of Gilgamesh’s Tomb
This should get an idea how interesting this project has been- and I am happy to share that with you.
The name of this small book is “Secrets Buried Between 2 Rivers”- the rivers are Tigris and Euphrates if you are wondering.
