What is Deste? It is perhaps the oldest divination deck of witches. `Deste` in Turkish means `heap of cards`. And `fala bakmak` means `I see the fate`, referring to the `casting` of the cards for fate.
The deck consists of sixty-five cards with symbolism. For the jann (the enlightened), Deste predicts events. Those that will come (famines, floods, disasters) and do not depend on you, and those that depend on you whether they will happen or not. The latter can change. The complex of the former with the latter, over time, composes destiny. `And the fate cannot be escaped from`.
The box of Deste, made of ebony, which holds the deck wrapped in dark crimson velvet, reads: `Whatever fate dictates, whatever it may dictate, may it be well received`.
