The solution, the answer, the thing that opens the door. The Key adds certainty and importance to the cards next to it. [13][14][11]
Text on the 19th-century card
Printed on a French Petit Lenormand (Geûens-Sea, Bruges, c. 1895–1901), Bibliothèque nationale de France [1]
Tout près annonce la réussite certaine d'une affaire, mais éloignée c'est le contraire.
Very near, it announces the certain success of an affair; but far away it is the opposite.
As a house in the Grand Tableau
Position 33 of the Grand Tableau is the House of the Key. A card that falls here is read in the context of solution, certainty, access.[15][16]
