I have decided to start a card by card series of suggestion that I have found helpful in learning to read and interpret the Gypsy Witch Fortune Telling Cards.

Here is the only written reading that is recorded on the booklet that comes with the Gypsy Witch Deck. I can only assume the reading is dating around the year 1894 when these cards were first published. The lady will have a long happy life (Bouquet) with her highest aims in love fulfilled (Park-Bride). She has an enemy (Snake-Mountain) whose influence is nullified by good fortune (Moon-Flame). She has a confiding disposition (Hand in Hand). How would we read these nine cards in 2016? I would answer this in the following way. There is an assuredness (Bouquet) in this lady that she will meet the man of her dreams. (Park) She knows what she wants (Bride) and will hurdle successfully (Mountain-Flame) all obstacles that stand to block her path. She will require help from a friend (Hand in Hand) to allow her dream (Moon) to come to pass and wipe away the opposition and distress (Snake) that has kept her single and lonely.

Near the person: active opposition or active hostility (enmity) sudden damage or distress (calamities)

She will suffer loss and ill luck (29-44) caused by enemies (37) but through influence of true friends (27) and good tidings, (33) riches and good fortune will be her lot (16) (33). She has a friendly disposition (12) which will bring her success (4) in love (28). In business she will be very successful and hold a high position (28-45). She will take a long journey (46) due to illness of someone dear to her (35) which will make her unhappy, (31) but good health will be restored (41). Then there will be joy (40) and happiness (52). She will have success in all ventures (3), phenomenal luck (10), great joy, and a happy life (39-20). More than likely her journey will lead to a change of residence (21). Her speculations will be very successful (17-48-50). She will be disappointed in an acquaintance (49) (11) (8) (9). She will be very happy and popular (1) and will be happily married and have great riches (23). She will be very successful (34-1) but will suffer a shock (51) through a loss and have an unpleasant surprise (6-43). She will enjoy domestic happiness (25). She will have a quarrel (30) with someone she loves (42) but everything will turn out happily (15-14). 50 8 49 11 9 48 21 33 16 12 4 40 17 15 20 37 47 32 38 52 23 42 39 44 7 18 26 41 22 30 10 27 24 2 13 31 1 25 3 29 28 45 46 35 34 14 51 5 36 43 6 Instructions How to tell Fortunes with Gypsy Witch Fortune Telling Cards
