Gypsy Oracle Cards and Meaning

Evoking another time and place, this reproduction of a nineteenth-century

deck characterizes a bygone era, while offering old-fashioned guidance and
wisdom. With any sort of fortune deck it is already suggested that the reader
needs to read between the lines since the placement of the cards will not
necessarily make sense towards the question asked.

So what I am doing here is giving readers a better insight to some of the most
vague cards you will ever see.

life. Wise decisions. Alternatively, unyielding ways and rigid thinking. Fear
of aging. Running out of time.
