Sibylle des Salons/Parlour Sibyl/Sibilla Indovina Card Meanings

Here are the main card meanings, including reversals, and images for all the above Sibylle des Salons cards. In terms of the images, the left is the Lo Scarabeo international Sibilla Indovina version, which appears to take the most original design and title, in the middle, the 1979 English version reproduction of that card in the JM Simon “Grimaud Parlour Sibyl”, on the right, the current French Grimaud version of the Sibylle des Salons.

The numberings on the Lo Scarabeo version correspond with the alphabetical listing of the cards in French; the others are grouped in order to according to their suits and then numbered.

Any variations between decks (and sometimes translations) are noted

Playing Card Reference: Two of Clubs

Notes: Note the original translation had this as “affection” but it is more about the bonding and attachment side, the bonding, as there is another card (Tenderness) for the more affectionate, loving apsect of this. And the current Grimaud only has this as “faithfulness” now.
