THOUGHT

[art deco fortune telling cards, zigeuner wahrsagekarten]

I think it is best to keep the meanings as simple as possible, initially when interpreting the Sibilla type cards such as these two decks. The more complicated and in-depth your “potential meanings” list is, the harder it will be to arrive at a quicker analysis. As a beginner, it is better to understand one or two meanings that you have assigned to the cards.

This card will mean something entirely unique to you. If you look at the Art Deco card (first image), you might get the impression the person has writers block. He could also be studying for his exam. Maybe he is a bookkeeper? The possibilities are endless.In the second image the feeling of the card is different. He just got news and is pondering on it. Or news has come with a job proposition…and so on.

No matter which card of the deck you are studying, the meaning will be personal to you. These cards are not the Tarot, in that there is a structured story behind them.

Collectively we would all agree that the THOUGHT card means,”thinking about“.Following the older Gypsy tradition I have listed some suggestion below for the married & single person.

If you are married, living together or in a committed relationship….Financial questions: indication of many material worries over debts and other money related issues.Romantic questions: there is evidence of suspicion and jealousy which preoccupies the person’s mind.Work related question: there is a dilemma surrounded by indecision. A choice needs to be made.Surprise element: someone at a distance is planning to visit you, unexpectedly.

If you are single, with no committed relationship…..Romantic questions: don’t count on the person you are seeing for anything long term. Not much action in this area.Work questions: you are being considered for a new position or job. There is much competition.Financial questions: indicates that there may not be adequate funds to enjoy life satisfactorily.Surprise element: you may have to wait a very long time to make a connection.

Death card

I thought I’d sneak in a post that I had prepared a few days ago while I have a bit of free time to blog.

The suggested meanings apply to the ART DECO, BIEDERMEIR and ZIGEUNER decks specifically but can be adapted to any one of the SIBILLA cards.

SUGGESTIONS

Being despondent, an ending, saying good-bye, finalization, letting go, a separation, it’s finished, charging your batteries, waiting for results, fear of the unknown, throw out the old shoes, your contract is up, harvest, time for renewals, exfoliation, replacing the engine in your vehicles, inner house cleansing, loss of loved one, fright, permanently, removal, time has run out, the answer is NO

The Zigeuner DEATH card
- has the image of a skeleton in a white sheet. In it’s left phalanges it is holding an egg timer.

The Beidermeier DEATH card
- has a skeleton with a white flowing sheet holding a scythe in its left bony hand.

The Art Deco DEATH card
-depicts a skeleton cloaked in a white sheet holding a scythe in its left hand. It emerges behind a coffin with a wooden plaque.

ABOUT THE CARD

When the Death card shows up in the layout it brings closure and an ending to a situation. There will be a finalization around the person in the neighboring cards. It can be the end of a relationship, a job, a dream, a plan, a goal, and even a problem or worry etc.
Things HAVE to END so that new cycles begin. Endings happen all the time. Things do not go on and on forever. An aspect or part of a situation always ends even though the totality of the situation remains the same, thus new beginnings.
This card will prevent further advancement of whatever is depicted by the card which precedes it because one of it’s meanings has been terminated.
In other words – TIME IS RUNNING OUT. Expect a change in plans or direction.
Expect a turbulent time with lots of changes. But it will be good for you as it expands your horizons. The change can relate to persons or places. Your relations can get deeper (move together, marriage). You meet new people; at your job you can get more responsibilities or change to another company. Maybe you move to another town. If your present situation is bad it will improve soon and everything will turn out to your advantage.

DAILY GUIDANCE CARD
It looks like today you just might clean out that closet and throw out what you don’t need anymore. You could be saying good-bye to someone who is moving away or has left your workplace. The answer is will NOT be forthcoming and if it does come it will most likely be a NO. A good day to go to a spa and get a facial. Getting rid of the dead skins cells on your face helps to promote new growth that is fresher.
The legal papers arrive in the mail. It’s time to renew your insurance policy. Hearing the news of a death. Going separate ways. Your cat or dog has run away.
A situation presents itself today that will put the finishes touches where they belong. Construction in your home is finally done. The blocked off street has re-opened.
A current situation is having closure. It could be a relationship you are in. Sigh, it’s finally over –time to heal and move on. All things end, let’s face it. Getting rid of the dead skins cells on your face helps to promote new growth that is fresher. Ask yourself what situation or person is in the process of leaving your life?

Your Chi is stagnating and it needs to get some healthy movement. And only you can do that, it is your life-force. So breathe it in and breathe it out! Pinch yourself to see how it feels to be alive.

ABOUT THE CARD

When the BABY card appears in the layout it holds a promise of eventual growth in some area. It will add more information about the stage of development the situation or person is in. The card also represents worries and will point out which areas need supervision, nurturing and tending. A child or dependent. A disadvantaged friend. Having fun and avoiding responsibility. The circumstances are not very serious. There is an emotional attachment to a situation or person.

A birth or rebirth. The beginning of a new project or venture. New or increased responsibilities that will require careful attention.

The card denotes new ideas, a fresh start, and improved circumstances. It can indicate added income such as a raise in pay, or increased profits. This card can also predict the successful start of a new project or business venture that will require careful attention to get off the ground. It can denote financial assistance coming from an unexpected source. Specifically Bambino represents an infant or child, and can predict a pregnancy or new addition to the family.

DAILY GUIDANCE CARD
When you select the BABY card you can expect some new projects to start today. You will be involved with things that require an open mind. Someone depends on you. You help a person who is in need. A grown up attitude saves the day.

You can expect to have a refreshing day.
-There can be issues involving an actual child.
-You could start a new job today.
-It could be a day of fun and games, nothing too serious.
-Playing with the child within.
-Don’t make a major decision you do not have all the facts.
Try nurturing yourself for a change. A great new idea.

Goofing around.

Spirituality

Past life regressions shows that you need to let the little kid out once in awhile to play. You begin to remember segments of your childhood while under hypnosis. You think back during a healing meditation and send love to the abandoned child within.

Widower

Zigeuner, Biedermeir, Art Deco, Sibilla type cards. The Widower does mean much the same as his companion card the Widow. Both cards indicate the state of profound sadness.

The deep grief you feel when you lose someone you love, leave long time employment reluctantly or part with a house that meant a lot to you. When a special pet dies or a child leaves home, it leaves an emptiness in ones heart. Or having some medical procedure that changes how you feel and changes your body.

There are many things in life that add up to a compounded grief. Sometimes it’s one loss after another. In this society people are not allowed to grieve. You cannot just snap your fingers and get over it. How does 3 days off work help you to deal with the pain you feel in your heart? By keeping so busy that you ignore or bury your emotions- how does that help you to go through your feelings and to get out on the other side, healed or at least recovering.

The suffering of the Widower is akin to the Widow. The male and female version of grief. Men grieve differently or so I was told when I went for grief counseling during a traumatic period in my life not too long ago. Men tend to move on faster. Is it the way of the jungle? In general, women cling on to the emotions connected to the memories of the person.

I do believe that angels change places with you just when you can’t take anymore or when the heaviness of your cross is cracking every bone in your back.

The Widower can provide the wings of an angel to those he meets. He knows what it means to feel loss. He will never come up with an excuse that he can’t go somewhere -he just goes. Sure his heart might not be in it but he has an understanding much deeper than the Widow card. There is strength in the Widower card, courage and a silence that men know who have come out of combat. You accept it and don’t psycho-analyze the sh*t out of it.

The Widower is a dutiful friend. He will not ask for your help. He helps himself by helping you.
