Weekly Roundup: Dark Undercurrents, Blood Scandal, Charles & Gifts, & UK Election Energies
Week ending 26 May 2024
So a mostly UK-based set of readings this week as we had a bit of drama - the infected blood scandal and finally, the announcement of the UK General Election, not far away on 4th July. Thus far, a large stream of well known Tory politicians appear to be standing down this time (rats and sinking ships spring to mind), and the campaign is ramping up for Labour, but we will see. It appears to be the bag, but in these unpredictable times, who knows?
Decks used in our readings included the Traditional Piatnik 1901 Zigeuner Cards, Grimaud’s 2022 Sibylle des Salons, the Sibilla della Zingara (Gypsy Oracle Cards), the Rana George Lenormand and the Salish Kipper.
Spreads included the Witch’s Tableau, the Star Spread, a 52-Card Spread and the Kipper Master Card Layout.

How did the cards do, though?
Okay, although I think the week ahead one was too vague to be very useful this time. It’s one of those readings that can apply to anything—although there are some clues.
Take a look at all the week’s readings below.
This Week: Dark, Unhealthy Thoughts Fuel Joy At Surprise Deal, While An Enemy Gets To Start Something New
The cards for this week suggest there has been happiness and good cheer over a deal or marriage, which appears to have brought a surprise amount of hope. Happiness and a sense of positivity for the future due to the agreement or commitment, which came as a surprise.
Under the surface, though, it appears that something has been taken or stolen in an unhealthy or dysfunctional way due to thoughts of anger and rage. A case of disordered thinking, perhaps, causing someone to take something out of pure spite or anger. In other words, this happiness over some deal or agreement seems to have a lot of fury and dysfunction fuelling it.
Ahead, the cards show the home of an enemy and news or documentation about a fresh start or project or an actual child. Underlying this appears to be a great deal of unhappiness and mourning for a particular woman or female figure: and a deep underlying grief surrounding her.
So there’s a sense of pleasure and celebration of a deal or marriage involving the house of the enemy, and an unexpected chance of hope at news of a new start or a child. But this appears to be hiding deep dysfunction underneath; taking something due to illness or dysfunction, with an older man grieving a main female figure, while angry thoughts have brought only tears and sorrow.
Unexpected happiness at ‘stolen’ thoughts has led to a hopeful deal but that’s borne solely out of unhealthy, perhaps unhinged fury, and news of a house or family where there is sorrow for an older man. The enemy starts afresh while a woman grieves.
There’s happiness at the grief of a woman, a bonding or commitment to causing sadness, perhaps a domestic or national level anger or abuse and an enemy’s thoughts. Happiness at a surprise involving a female sweetheart figure, hope brought regarding a grieving older man, and news of sickness or unhealthiness while something new is stolen, or a child takes something for themselves.
I wondered if this was election-related(agreements/arrangements/date set) - but there’s far too much here about women or a particular woman for that, I think. So I’m not really seeing exactly what this is. Although “The sense of pleasure and celebration of a deal or marriage involving the house of the enemy, and an unexpected chance of hope at news of a new start or a child. But this appears to be hiding deep dysfunction underneath” does feel a bit electiony to me.
What about the rest of the week? Let’s see.
