This sounds very interesting, I have never seen such a card deck, or heard of one until now. I'd like to hear more though, about the cards and the stone, too if you'd like to tell. Are the cards like Tarot? What do you mean they are the wierdest looking one's you've seen? Where did you get them?

ok well the deck i got from a vary good friend of mine who’s a art teacher and she never used them. well i got them now and have been reading them for a while .the back says " A card game to study the state of ur being though thought, introspection, reflection and imagination. It can provide access to fundamental and elementary states of ur being. it can increases your consciousness. It can lead to a personal transformation by opening ur eyes. the stone is a living and timeless work of art. Forty cards illustrate the themes of human experience the numbers of the cards range them on the 40 positions of the experiential path. The names of the cards show the direction and destination of the divinatory process. Alone or in company the philosopher’s stone will be ready to clarify states and relationships. It is nourished by the power that holds together all beings and manifestations. Properly laid out the cards take on a creative aspect. The cards disclose their meaning to those seeking for an answer.” Its call the fortune telling deck by DE ES. It is very interesting deck and isn’t like tarot because there are different cards and its not as detailed and relays more on the reading an the understanding u personally get from the cards u dealt. U shuffle the deck and deal 5 cards in the shape of a cross. The middle card is ur present state and the main focus, the left is ur inside bottled up feelings and experiences and the right is what u show to everyone. The top is the future and the bottom ur past. If u get all-high # cards then the strength is strong like the state or ur feeling is strong. Lower is weaker. Mix is a a weaker state. U read a lot of what kind of image u get from the cards however the cards each have meanings and the deck has a paper that tells u them. U can read others simply by having them shuffle the cards and lay them down. Read them inside now out side then past and future. I have learned that when u use these cards it enhances ur concentration and helps me focus better when I use my pendulum. It has a lot to do with opening ur mind and that stuff they do take more practice seeing how they are less detailed then tarot. Ill try and get u a pic of them sometime ok? To help explain to u why I said they are strange looking. The cards I belive are a simple use and quickly help u train ur mind. Now as for the real thing, The philosophers stone the ultimate goal of alchemy. Some think it to be an alchemy amplifier like the red stone( most get it from the show full metal alchemist), in truth it is suppose to hole all the knowledge of the universe and have the key to true immortality “ the never under ne circumstance be killed kind, not age kind. ) and gift to thee the power which no human can poses in one life time. I.E the fountain of knowledge and youth all in one. It’s the single most powerful tool in the universe some belive it is that because it contains every element of every ne thing in the universe. That would provide over time answers to all the questions. But that if a different belief. Not the belief alchemists have of it. The stone has never been created by man however it is said that the gates of Atlantis are sealed by the stone and only the right 9 people with the stone in the middle of the gates can open the lost world. But that is a different story. Alchemy was used widely by the Egyptians and that is why some belive they were so wealthy. The point of alchemy has nothing to do with gold however and was created in hope to find the stone or create it, however alchemy is based on the law of equivalent exchange, what can u give that is equal to eternal life and all the knowledge of the universe? Huhahahaha well hope this helps. If ne one has ne questions ill be happy to answer them. And p.s. im sorry twilight for takeing so long to reply.
