I love the title she gave it, “Igniting The Serpent.” It conveys the process of bringing the deck and book to life. It reminds me of the golem, in which you fashion a body out of sanctified dirt, but then have to magically make it come alive, a spell which includes inscribing the Hebrew word for “truth,” emeth, on the golem’s forehead.
