Minchiate
Minchiate is an early 16th century card game, originating in Florence, Italy. It is no longer widely played. Minchiate can also refer to the special deck of 97 playing cards used in the game. The deck is closely related to the tarot cards, but contains an expanded suit of trumps. The game was similar to but more complex than tarocchi.
History
Scholars generally believe that the tarot cards, then known as trionfi, were invented in northern Italy circa 1420s to 1440; they spread elsewhere in Italy early on. The minchiate represents a Florentine variant on the original game. The deck belongs to the southern tarot patterns which includes the Tarocco Bolognese and the Tarocco Siciliano. The game was first known as germini, after the Gemini (XXXV) card, the highest of the newly introduced trumps. It was later known as minchiate in the 17th century. In Sicily, it was called gallerini while in Liguria it was known as ganellini but the rules used in these regions are lost save for cryptic references that they were quite different from the Florentine game.

Moongate
by: SamaelClashes of thoughts, of desires and hopes
lift you up, straight to the top of the world
It's amazing how good things can be when it goes, when it flows
With fluidity of energy in constant availability
All that glitters all that matters beyond rivalries
Amplified universality, transcending dualities
Body chemistry, linked spiritually
Right in time every time, synchronized all along
Destiny, tomorrow is today
Destiny, without boundaries
How many nights will we spend together traveling infinity back and forth and again
How many times will we go together questioning eternity about us about our wonders...
Step in, break through, take the stairs to the stars
Stretch out your life, make it big, make it large
Feed the space in-between, fill it up, make it real
Hell you feel you're alive, you affirm your own will
It's been good all along and the best is to come
No fear, no doubt but the driving force to go on
Air's dry, we're wet, ain't seen nothing yet
Silence cried as we met, dig, dig our own depth
Destiny without boundaries
How many nights will we spend together traveling infinity back and forth and again
How many times will we go together questioning eternity about us about our wonders
