Codex

A message to you, dear reader, from the mysterious, new Bicycle® Codex Playing Cards. 

There is a world that exists between the lines. A world of secret symbolism and hidden meaning. In full view, visible to all. But only those in the know, know. Those without, seek to know.

I am the gatekeeper. The key to unlocking this world's secrets lies in my hands. It is I who give outsiders a tantalizing glimpse through the lock.

It is I who decide if those deemed ready by my fellow Masters will pass the initiation.

The outsiders watch my every move, hang on my every word. Of which there are few. I sense their desperation, their hunger for acceptance. Such power is not awarded lightly.

I can have no mercy. For secrets to survive generations, they can only be entrusted to a select few.

To open the gate is to reveal all. They must prove they are ready. They must take the oath.

Only then am I ready to share. To reveal such secrets can change worlds.

I believe you are ready.

I am turning the key. Opening the lock. Ready to reveal all...

Will you decipher the code?
