Sorry I fell off the Tarot wagon girls and boys! I've had a trying couple of weeks- I haven't updated the blog since the 2nd? Ugh!
Anyhow, I recently picked up a deck of Gypsy Witch Fortune Telling Cards from eBay. This was inspired by my mother in law, who, when I first got interested in Tarot, told me that her family in Cape Breton used to read playing cards (because where would Cape Bretoners when she was young even *get* Tarot cards? Which is a fair question I suppose!). It's a standard deck of playing cards with secondary images and a description with the card's divinatory meanings. I I have a book out from the library about reading playing cards, but I haven't read it yet, favouring Mary Greer's 21 Ways to Read a Tarot Card and Back in Time Tarot (author un-remembered right at the minute).
Anyhow, this morning I did my daily draw from the Gypsy Witch deck for a change of pace. I pulled No. 24, which is on the King of Hearts. It shows a picture of a man and woman holding or shaking hands. The descriptor reads "Hand in hand indicates confiding disposition; when in close proximity to 38, 39, 42 or 47, friendship will warm into love. When near 45, favour will be found with superiors, near 48, financial success." (In the interest of seeking out what this card is near, the next card in my deck is 44, and the card under that is *42*! I guess I will have an amorous friend?)
