I just received Ray Buckland's "Secrets of Gypsy Fortunetelling", won from an E-bay auction. I am missing the LWB for the fortunetelling deck. The 22 major arcana cards are completely different from a regular tarot deck so I have no idea what these cards mean. The minors are just regular playing cards which Buckland explains in the accompanying book but the meaning of the majors is not mentioned anywhere. Does anyone have the LWB for this fortunetelling deck? If you do could you please post the meaning of the 22 major cards? I would greatly appreciate this, thanks, Ruby7

Hi, I have the book. Did you just get the cards? I have a 222 page book that went with the set.

Posting the contents of the LWB would violate copyright. Better do it in a PM, or better yet, an email. If you paraphrase you could probably get away with it, but if you quote, the copyright comes into effect. Bob :THERM

Oops, good point Le Corsair, I didn't think about that and will definitely respect that. Ros, I got the book accompanying the deck called "Secrets of Gypsy Fortunetelling" which gives great detail on the minor cards (regular playing cards) but as far as I can see the meaning of the majors is not mentioned in this book. The deck is in a little box, and on the back of this box an accompanying little booklet is mentioned "The art and methods for using a Gypsy deck are unique nad the enclosed booklet explains everything", and there is room with the cards for a LWB. Do you have a little white booklet in your box of cards? If you do if you could PM me some information on the majors I would greatly appreciate it, thanks, Ruby7
