Playing Card Multiples In Sibilla Indovina/ Sibylle des Salons

How you can add further insight to your readings if you have this deck

When you have decks with playing cards, you can utilise not only the suits, but additional meanings when you have multiples of cards - but note that as all the playing card systems are different, these are NOT the same between different decks. We already looked at suggested “multiples” meanings for the Italian La Vera Sibilla deck - notably, these had more relation to the ones you might see in Tarot. A reminder of those here:

This time, I’m basing these suggestions for multiple meanings on Louisa Lawford’s writing about playing cards, given that as she was writing from France in the 19th century, it was notable that her card descriptions were near identical in meaning to those in the Sibylle des Salons/Indovina.

Please be aware, these are NOT the same “multiples meanings” as published with 1960s/1970s Grimaud copies of the Sibylle des Salons deck - but there have been lots of complaints about those, as some of the card meanings given in the accompanying pamphlet to that deck do not even match the cards themselves, which suggests they may well be inaccurate or were incorrectly taken from another system. From Lawford, I only have the multiples for the sevens and above, but including the Aces, which are like the pinnacle of the suits; the end and the beginning.
