Sibilla decks- the great adventure
I am plowing through this thread:

It appears that many different assignments of playing card to keyword to picture to number are made, depending on the specific deck/publisher.
I just received the Lo Scarabeo "Sibilla Oracle Cards" (978-0-7387-1305-2 on a sticker). If this is the same deck that you have, I'd be happy to go through learning the cards with you. I have no idea what other French & Italian readers do; ~so~ I plan to use a thesaurus for keywords, a dream/symbol dictionary for the graphic elements within a pic, and do a comparison with more traditional playing card meanings.
I should warn you that my playing card background is different from the gypsy/fortune-telling viewpoint. The systems I learned are heavily based on astrology and numerology: a planet to the number, an element to the suit- then comparing the astrological aspect to the traditional ruler. All that said, I am willing to use/learn some other way of looking at this level.
An example, Love 6H 1
a Cupid aiming his bow toward his right; the playing card is in that corner (so he is facing the symbol; active attention)
in the cloud at his feet, there is a red sash, a chain, and what appears to be a golden vase or cup
6 is related to Jupiter or Venus; the pip fraction is 4 over 2; Hearts are Fire or Water (but always passion)
So, depending on what cards were around this one, I would say that the topic/issue has been a double influence in the querent's interests. Would need to answer whether this brings pleasure or pain, what past "chain of events" is involved.
