Book excerpt: Those in the West who are familiar with the Tarot cards will immediately relate to the fall-e-Hafez, or the practise of divination using the poetry of this famous Sufi mystic. Written entirely in Persian, these cards will provide many hours of entertainment at parties or gatherings - as long as you don't take them too seriously or try too hard to translate them! Try them on a cold winter's night's majlis (gathering) in front of a fireplace. The believers say that when the reader turns over a randomly drawn card (or chooses a design that is most appealing at the moment), the first line that catches the reader's eye is the answer to the question of the moment. The rest of the poem can then be read for additional enlightenment or meditation on the matter. This set includes a helpful interpretation of the "omen" at the bottom of each card. The omens themselves are all different, but the pictures on the backs of the cards do repeat.
