Gipsy Wahrsagekarten. Enemy & Ecclesiastic

7. ENEMY

ENEMY

Negative thinking. Potentially harmful situation. Nasty person. A medical procedure involving “cutting”. Be alert. Pay attention.

The image of the Enemy card says it all, however, as with the Tarot cards it could represent your own frame of mind.  Are you hiding something? Are you not being totally honest with someone else or even yourself. In a situation question, you could be a victim of some negative undercurrents but it’s important to ask yourself if your own intentions are honourable.

6. ECCLESIASTIC

ECCLESIASTIC

Anyone involved in an organized belief system. Faith. A church type environment. Philosophy. Spirituality.

The image of the Ecclesiastic card give the impression of safety and some form of devotion. Are you holding on to a person or situation because it’s the right thing to do. There are choices. Just because everyone else is settling you don’t have to.  In a situation question, the outcome will most likely be obvious, no real surprises.

IN DUO COMBINATION

These two cards falling together (ENEMY, ECCLESIASTIC) in a Reading suggests a situation that appears unfavourable or risky will turn out to be more of a plateau outcome.  For example, if you accept a job position because you feel the need for change then you will experience little opportunity for quick advancement. 

These two cards falling together (ECCLESIASTIC, ENEMY) in a Reading indicates what appears right is not always truth. For example, if you are planning to enter a marital arrangement you could be in for a rude awakening. You or your partner are not being honest about the whole thing. 

As with all Sibilla style fortune telling cards the interpretative meanings can be overwhelming. Your perception will probably be different. Seaqueen’s perception is offered a guide

Interpreting Zigeuner Wahrsagekarten cards

The Enemy As a Situation card:

ENEMY

The ENEMY cards suggests a situation is around you which appears to be not in your best interest.  It could be someone who is not what they seem.  More than likely these circumstances have a way of lingering on around us even though we don’t realize it.  Often emotional strings still remain even if the person or situation has left our immediate lifestyle.

Death as a Recent Past card:

DEATH

The DEATH card is either welcomed or feared.  Since it falls in the spot of recent past this means the energy is departing out of your life. Something (job) or someone (relationship) no longer serves a good purpose in your life and it is just as well it will be part of the recent past.  The death card suggests the elimination of things which no longer are productive or fruitful like a dead end job or dead beat relationship.

Widow as the To Come in the Near Future card:

Even though the WIDOW card doesn’t give the impression it is a joyous immediate future it means you could feel down only for a short time. It also suggests making new connections which as an outsider initially are challenging to do.  As the pending energy card the widow suggests you will be just fine and shouldn’t push anything.

The best advice would be to allow the natural flow of situations.  Whatever the cycle is it will develop into a new one within a few months (always keep the final card in mind when giving such advice).

Journey as the Result or Outcome card:

JOURNEY

What’s the outcome?  You will embark on a trip. The  JOURNEY card does indicate actual travel (trip or change in location) away from that something or someone which is slowly passing out of your life. You will leave behind what has ended or ceased to exist in a way to give you happiness.  If you move (home or job) you will have new beginning but will more than likely have to sever some other ties of past familiarity.

People and situations are in our lifestyle but when change comes knocking on the door (as is represented by the death card) we usually say good bye to aspects of certain connections. Often parts of our personality die and are reborn much stronger.

ONE CARD DAILY DRAW

It is of the utmost importance that you are alert today. It is best not to venture into areas that are not known to you. When having conversations with any people that you do not know well, be careful how much information you divulge. Don’t forget to lock your vehicle. You might get news today that someone will need to have surgery.
Expect a disruptive day due to some hot-tempered discussions. Are you thinking of taking a risk? When you tap into your own fears, the dark alleys of your mind can be scary. You could get some news today that sets you off like a rocket.
You will have to defend yourself.

AS THE CLARIFICATION CARD

No wonder you needed clarification, the person or situation represented by the one card draw smells like a rat. Yes your suspicions have good foundation. You probably suspected this was going to happen- follow your gut feeling. Don’t count on it.

THE SITUATION CARD -

The enemy represents a circumstance that can be threatening. It can be an actual person filled with volatile emotions. You probably already know what this is. Have you gotten yourself into a predicament that is hard to get out of without causing some damage? Are you trying to get something that is off limits to you? Have you provoked someone to the point that they are strongly opposed to you? The situation is not as lovie dovie as it looks.

THE CURRENT CARD(S) –

Take off your rose colored glasses and observe very carefully with who or what you are involved with. The ENEMY card is sending you are strong message that all is not right. There is an imposter close by or the situation is much weaker than first thought. Who is picking on whom? The current card(s) will also tell you something that you aren’t prepared to see.

THE OUTCOME or RESULT CARD -

If ever there was a time that you needed to be watchful, now is the time. Having a sense of security and blind optimism will put you in a disadvantageous position. No, don’t go out with him/her. Being afraid of your own shadow will prevent you from coming to terms with your own fears, which are partly your imagination.

As the OUTCOME card all indications are that there is a person that must watch closely. If the question involves an event or situation, you should be warned that in all likelihood it would be unsuccessful.

Gipsy card- ENEMY

Today I found myself meditating on the Gipsy card (Zigeuner Wahrsagekarten) ENEMY. I chose this card as my one card daily draw, not intentionally of course- at random.

A bunch of questions flooded to me about the course of the fulfillment of today’s activities or projects.

My eyes went directly to what the man was holding in his hand and was wondering if he had anything in his pocket as well being his hand was in it. It looks like it could be the tip of an umbrella in his left hand or a walking stick. Maybe you see something else. We all see different things in the cards.

He certainly does not look threatening, in fact he looks like a dashing gentleman dressed in a tuxedo. How could this man symbolize an enemy?

As a daily card, it would suggest that all is not as it seems. Perhaps living in an illusion and that in itself is an enemy to reality.

The message of the ENEMY card is to think over any plans, making sure you have everything you need at hand- (or in your pocket so to speak). Maybe you will find yourself exploring areas that you are not accustom to and those explorations could be within yourself too.

The dark alleys of your own mind- where you fight all those negative emotions such as fear or self-defeating attitude.

Applicable to Art Deco- Sibilla style cards.
