And so today, we have (drumroll) the Gypsy Oracle version of the Sibilla Vera deck. The Gypsy Oracle is otherwise known as the Sibilla della Zingara. As you’ll see, the images are all the same in essence as the Sibilla Vera, but the cards have no playing card suits or numbers. (Also, you don’t need to learn Italian!).
Today, we have a five-card reading:
Fortune: Luck, Good Fortune
Falseness: Falsehoods, Something Not As It Seems
Enemy: An Enemy (Male)
Sorrow: Sorrow, Bad News, Sadness, Loss
Service: Again, The Spirit Of Service
Good luck (Fortune) that isn’t what it seems (Falseness) may bring an enemy (Enemy) who seems sorrowful or who is sad (Sorrow) and possibly contrite (Service). But worth noting that the Enemy (male) is at the centre here. Luck comes through service, or in thrall to luck and fate (Fortune-Service) around a sadness that is false (Falseness-Sorrow) for an Enemy. And finally, reading the cards from left to right in pairs, you can see a fake good fortune, false ‘destiny’ (Fortune-Falseness), an enemy’s falseness (Falseness-Enemy), then his apparent sorrow or sadness (Enemy-Sorrow) and subservience, or perhaps obsequiousness (Sorrow-Service).
Hmm.
Good luck or fortune and destiny isn’t what it seems, bringing a male enemy who seems sad and perhaps contrite and subservient. But the sadness may be fake, with the enemy still at the centre of the reading. Trust no-one, especially displays of sadness or obsequiousness, or those professing their sorrow.
