Wednesday: A Child, Healing From A Past Disaster, But Undermined By Love That Isn't What It Seems
Wednesday 24th May 2023
For today’s reading, we’re using the Gypsy Oracle/Sibilla della Zingara deck, which is a less bells-and-whistles version of the Vera Sibilla.

The Reading:
There is a Child at the centre of the reading, so this may connect with yesterday’s in some way. This may represent an actual child or young person or a new beginning or project for someone, or even childlikeness or immaturity.
The corner cards very strongly suggest a situation of healing from a disaster of some kind (Misfortune, Doctor) and a connection with the journey of an older woman (Journey, Old Woman). There appears to be a messenger of love around the Child at the centre (Messenger, Love), although there is also a sense of false or disloyal service, two-facedness or someone undermining them (Service R) and hopelessness, dreams dashed or wishes not being fulfilled (Hope R).
The love around this Child appears to be false, as if someone is working behind their back, perhaps saying one thing to their face yet secretly doing another and undermining them (Love, Child, Service R). On the surface, they’ll be seeing whoever this is as a messenger of healing after a major life catastrophe (Misfortune, Messenger, Doctor), which has its foundations in the journey of an older woman and a sense of hopelessness (Journey, Hope R, Old Woman).
In the past, there is a disaster associated with a journey connected with love, so perhaps could suggest a vehicle accident on a romantic trip (Misfortune, Love, Journey) or just a more metaphorical disastrous romantic journey. Now, it delivers a message of hopelessness, of dreams and wishes dashed and remaining unfulfilled for the young person concerned (Messenger, Child, Hope R). Ahead, is a situation of healing regarding an older woman but there’s something wrong, and someone involved is not quite as healing as they seem and may be working against it (Doctor, Service R, Old Woman). It also may indicate an older woman who is not as focused on serving the needs of the child as she seems.
Diagonally, we have a major disaster involving an older woman for this Child (Misfortune, Child, Old Woman) and a healing journey, or progressing through healing (Doctor, Child, Journey).
I think this is Harry again, especially with the hints about accidents and vehicle crashes and an older woman (Diana). Though she could be representing more than one person in this scenario, especially when it comes to the “healing” part.
The reading centres on a child or younger or immature person and healing from a disaster connected with a journey and an older woman. There’s a messenger of love around them, but also a sense of false or disloyal service, someone two faced working behind their back, and dreams dashed, hopes not being fulfilled. The love doesn’t seem to be true, and they’re being undermined, although this younger person will see whoever it is as someone bringing healing after a major life disaster with a foundation in the journey or trip of an older woman. There’s been a disastrous journey or accident connected with love in the past, delivering a message of hopelessness to the child, and ahead is what seems like healing involving an older woman, but all is not as it appears.
