Reading Fortune Telling Cards Book

I love the Gypsy Witch deck, but with the given descriptions, a lot of room is left for ambiguity and uncertainty. This book takes a lot of that away, with enlightening elaborations on the meaning off each card and its relationships to other cards when drawn together. It’s made my readings a lot more interesting!

This book has actually been out for three years, but until now was only available in Dutch. The English version is finally here and was absolutely worth waiting for, IMO.It's not an exhaustive work by any means, and not even all that long, just an introductory volume. But it is thorough and covers everything: a brief history, the individual cards themselves, the various reading principles, working with spreads; there is even a short section that covers individual card combinations.The author also goes into what *not* to do, and why, as he explains the usual way forward, even while allowing for individual variations in reading styles. I personally appreciated this instructive approach since I am not a visual or overly intuitive reader. As an entry level introduction to reading Gypsy cards, I couldn't ask for more.Also, the translation itself is quite good, with no glaring errors or broken English. It was easy to read, very understandable, and definitely gave me a lot to go forward with in using Gypsy cards.So if you're looking to understand the Gypsy card system and it is not intuitive to you, this is an excellent resource and a great place to start. I've been hoping to snag a copy of this for over a year, and was not disappointed.Also, this is physically published by US Games and is not a crappy print-on-demand version: bonus. Never thought I'd be so grateful for the quality of a standard paperback binding, but after the horrors of some of the print-on-demand books I've ended up with lately, this was a very pleasant surprise.(Oh, and it was shrinkwrapped in plastic too, so it didn't bounce around half open in the box: it arrived completely undamaged, not so much as a scuff. Much appreciated.)Overall, very nicely done. Thanks, US Games!

I became intrigued by the Gypsy Witch Fortune Telling Cards after watching a Youtube video by Emilie Muniz. I had known about them for years but frankly I never took them seriously till I saw that video. Then I bought them, sought out a guidebook to supplement the very scant information in the booklet that comes with the cards, and lo and behold, discovered this book.It goes into quite a bit of depth. The author gives the meanings for the card images as well as the playing-card suits on the cards, and card combinations. A number of spreads are given. The only thing I would add is that some of the author's descriptions of card meanings differ somewhat from those printed on the cards themselves. But it's not a big deal; you can decide what resonates with your intuition and use that. Apparently the author has an actual practice giving readings with these cards, which I found both surprising and inspiring. I am taking them much more seriously now and they really do have a lot more depth than the silly orange package and silly purple witch image on the card backs would convey (I wish they'd re-do that!!) If you use the Gypsy Witch Oracle Cards, you need this book!

I really liked the way this book expands on the meaning of the gypsy witch cards. It also gives many different spreads and how to read them. I like that across all of the information I have read on these cards, there are many similarities pertaining to suits and face value of the card. I will look into finding more about this author because he is knowledgeable in this craft.

Just as pictured

Good book to start learning the oracle cards. That said, you can always give the cards your own meanings as well.

I like that this work gave a better understanding of individual card meanings as the meanings of this oracle are short and written upon the cards.

Really enjoyed how this book provides different spreads and breaks down the meaning on how to read the cards

Good book to go with the gypsy witch cards

I had no idea there was a companion book to the gypsy witch tarot. This is compact, but clearly filled with just enough info to not over complicate things. It will be used as a reference, not a cover to cover read. The spreads look interesting.

Perfect arrived earlier than running date noticeexactly what I wanted so love Amazon Prime & seller A+++

Brilliant in its simplicity and yet comprehensive for all levels. Top choice of booking you own the Gypsy Witch Deck
