I first met Symbolon in 2018: an astrologer posted a simple weekly spread on Instagram but the cards were what I have never seen before. They were not Tarot cards, and it took some time for me to get brave enough to ask what they were.
I purchased my first deck and started simply looking at the cards' images, noting the color schemes, the overall atmosphere on the pictures, the people, and the feelings I has when looking at each card.
started researching and found that there is no book about how to interpret Symbolon. With tons of books on how to read Tarot, this was strange: is no one else using the deck?..
In 2021, that same astrologer that introduced me to the deck started a course teaching Symbolon. I decided that this was my sign, enrolled in the course, and never regretted it.
The information was clear, precise, and to the point.
But not in English.
... and still no book to refer to.
Most people I showed my deck to bought my readings, some because I may have sounded convincing, others did it out of curiosity. Some querents asked me where I learned to read it and if they could learn it, too. I honestly answered that there is no text that I could recommend, not because I am afraid of competition but because such text does not exist, and that the courses I took are not in English, so I cannot recommend those, either.
That is when the thought of creating a text for others to use with the deck first popped up in my head.
One day, I looked over the lectures again, skimmed through my notes, and realized that I now had enough information and experience, it just needed to be structured and put into a text that can be used by someone who may have never held a Symbolon deck in their hands before. So I started writing and ended up with what my reader is now holding.
