Thursday: Gossip About A Deep Dive & The Sudden Removal Of A Man's Mask or Persona
Thursday 25 May 2023
For today’s reading, we’re once again reading with the Ciro Marchetti Gilded Reverie Lenormand.
Today’s layout includes two of the ‘extra’ cards in this deck; the Well, which is about digging deep, what’s under the surface, and the Mask which, I think probably speaks for itself.
The cards I drew were as follows.
The Cards
Man, Mask, Scythe, Stars, Well, Birds, Mice, Snake, Lilies
The Reading
Today’s reading is about looking under the surface, digging deep for what is buried or underground. It appears to be related to a Man’s ‘cutting off’ (Scythe), and what looks like the worries (Mice) of experienced or older people (Lilies), or the undermining of a ‘peaceful’ family vibe including its older members.
Around the issue of what’s buried deep under the surface (but that may be being brought to the surface right now) is falseness, a Mask that someone’s been wearing with regard to a star, ambition and big goals (Stars), talk or gossip (Birds) and a betrayal or something negative (Snake) underneath.
Currently, there is chatter about what lies under the surface for a star or their goals, plans and ambitions (Stars, Well, Birds). What we can see is a man whose mask or persona appears to have been suddenly removed or torn off (Man, Mask. Scythe). Underneath, there appear to have been worries about betrayals and unpleasantness in the past, between older people, or from an older more experienced person within a ‘family’ (Mice, Snake, Lilies).
Recently a man’s ‘star’ has been undermined or diminished (Man, Stars, Mice), and now there’s a sense of a digging deep behind the mask to try to bring up negatives, betrayals and so on (Mask, Well, Snake). Ahead, though, there may be a reduction or silencing of talk, or alternately, some very sharp and hurtful talk or indeed, especially about the past or by older people (Scythe, Birds, Lilies).
It could be that there is digging into a man’s family life and past (Man, Well, Lilies), and it’s really digging sharply to get to the bottom of things (Scythe, Well, Mice).
Gossip involving digging under the surface to try to bring something up about a star or their goals and ambitions. This appears to be about a particular man whose mask or persona may have been suddenly removed or torn off, with worries about betrayals and unpleasantness in his past from his family members or older more experienced people. He’s recently seen his ‘star’ diminished, there’s a deep dive to explore for negativity and betrayals, although ahead, talk may be cut off very abruptly—or it may involve someone saying something that cuts deep.
