I drew this set of cards last Friday morning. It looked to me like I would be receiving bad news. Seemed pretty straightforward. The Rider indicates news. The Sun next to it would potentially mean good news, but the Scythe following the Sun pretty much annihilates any chance of it being good news. I saw the Scythe ripping into the happiness of the Sun, indicating bad news.By the end of the day I hadn't received any news of any sort. I shrugged off the reading. The following day I received news that my father had a major heart attack the day before (the day I drew the cards). He was admitted to the hospital to find out that 99% of his main artery was blocked, while 50% of another main one was blocked. He had a stent put in, and is now back at home.
So the draw was pretty darned accurate! I even see the scythes now as scalpels which were involved in his surgery.
This was the second reading I had done with this deck, as it is a new acquisition. The day before, I had drawn three cards and at the end of the day I was surprised at how eerily accurate it had been, after something unexpected had happened. I am impressed so far with this deck. Unfortunately, the deck I purchased has a damaged card, so the deck always wants to cut to that card... as the crinkles in the card makes it physically stand out from the rest.
The Gypsy Fortunes deck is a modern reproduction of an earlier deck called Old Gypsy Fortune Telling Cards. The newer version comes with a book, which I haven't looked through yet. I also purchased a very old set of the original deck from eBay at the same time I bought this new set. I will post a reading soon with the original version of the cards for comparison. (This deck is similar to the Lenormand deck, but there are several cards which are different.)
Deck: Gypsy Fortunes

Good to see you posting again Kiki, sorry to hear about your Dad, I hope his recovery is quick and painless. Re the Scythe, I have had that come up time and again without fail to do with all the surgery I had this year. It also comes up for me for anything to do with needles like blood tests.

Hi Mouse! Thanks for the welcome back, and for the kind words about my dad.
I just did a Lenormand reading for someone last night. It was a full board reading, and I saw the Scythe next to the Child card, and for some reason I thought "c-section" first. I mentioned that to her, as I know she had a previous c-section. I then saw it as a surgical reversal... she has had an operation to prevent further pregnancies, which is reversible. It turns out the person she's with really wants to have children, and it's something that has recently been through her head.
So it was funny to see your comment this morning also relating the scythe to surgery! :)
Thanks for your input!
