Technique of Intention Through Solitaire

To clarify my reasoning about intention, I will demonstrate it to you with cards. If you have a book on solitaire, find the Medici Solitaire and read the legends associated with it. It is said that John Dee taught Queen Medici the technique of magical solitaires. In our time, solitaires are considered a game (will they align or not). But in ancient times, they were elements of magic, which we could compare to the art of intention. The theory was as follows: each card corresponded to a specific cliché of events. The magus intentionally laid out a Chain of Events in such a way that the solitaire would resolve. He didn't just lay out the cards and see what happened, but rather selected, calculated the consequences, or used a grimoire that described certain already known Chains. As soon as the solitaire was completed, the magus began its realization, and the law of intention came into effect. All calculated actions were performed in reality, merely presupposing their existence. And externally, it appeared as a miracle or sorcery. Legend has it that Queen Medici spent her last night before execution in a prison cell, laying out this solitaire. She intensely composed it, recalling Dee's lessons. Dawn was approaching. Her key figures were the guard at the door, a dialogue, and an escape from the dungeon. It is said that when she was led to her execution, she looked wistfully at the deck of cards and sadly said: "It almost worked." Write to me if you can find out about the Medici Solitaire. It would be difficult for me to describe it to you.
