A5 cards were formatted, but they did not sell well. Their purpose was to compose an altar to evoke those energies. The idea of use as an oracle came later, but he believed people would forget about it weeks after. He might have had 10 sales, he reckoned. What he did not imagine was that so many people would begin to use and talk about them. Several discussion forums were created about the subject; on Facebook there is the American forum, the Brazilian forum and another in Spanish language.
