—What is that?

—An oak.

—We can see it’s not a linden. You’re being asked, who are these Kostya plus Lucy?

This book ought, logically, to conclude the trilogy of foundational information on the Medici Solitaire.

As the topic of Medici Solitaire is far too vast and multifaceted, the author has found it impossible to contain within a single book.

Therefore, for those discovering this for the first time, the author wishes to remind you:3

1) 

The theory of Stalking with Tarot cards, along with practical exercises for its mastery, is set forth by the author in the book 'Tarot and Medici Solitaire.

Stalking Self-Study Guide.'

2) 

An idiosyncratic primer of the basic archetypal figures of the Tarot can be found in the book 'Tarot and Medici Solitaire: Gallery of Examples.'

This book serves as a peculiar manual, aimed at the educated and already practicing Tarot readers who have chosen to expand their repertoire of tools. Including, notably, when working with clients.

Within, it details the practice involving one of the most mythical and rarely illuminated Tarot Solitaire traditions. It bears many names, and its traces flicker through the annals of History and Literature for at least several centuries.

Catherine de' Medici, Mary Stuart, John Dee, Molière, Catherine the Great, Alexander Pushkin, the Decembrists, Dream Hackers—this is but a brief roster of those acquainted with the PM, and about whom the 'author' of this book has managed to learn.4

This practice is a secret treasure of Hermeticism and a legacy of Tarot. At the time of writing, the author is not affiliated with the Brotherhood. His current Patron has permitted him to share information concerning the PM. 5

In accordance with the spirit of Aquarian openness, he describes the practice of the Medici Solitaire in this book.

That is, this book is written, as Hermeticism would classify it, 'by a profane for the profane.'

This book is written as concisely as possible—eschewing intermediate logical chains, references, and proofs. Otherwise, its length would swell to rival a doctoral dissertation.

Yet, even then, the only real proof of its Truth can be its effectiveness in the hands of Tarot practitioners.

The author is nonetheless obliged to offer, at minimum, some brief clarifications, since it is not the knowledge of Truths that makes a layman into a specialist, but at least a rudimentary grasp of them.
