Worth every penny!
I bought three books on the Gypsy Oracle cards at the same time. This is by far the best of the bunch! In addition to discussing the symbols on the cards and what they mean (not enough books do this!), she provides lots of upright and reversed interpretations of the cards. But she also gives suggestions for love, work and health, which are arguably the top three subjects for readings. Although I doubt I'll use that spread, she also gives interpretations for each of the positions in the Cross spread. In addition she gives playing card, Vera Sibilla and Tarot (where applicable) associations for the cards along with what date range the card covers and the lottery numbers associated with the cards. She also lists a total of 6 spreads (including the Cross spread) in the book.There are some unfortunate typos in the book, and it's obvious the book was translated from another language. Even with those flaws, I'm definitely glad I bought this book!

Nice reference guide!
I bought this for Kindle so that I could easily access this on my phone. I've been doing RW tarot readings for over two decades, but just recently acquired some Gypsy Oracle cards and needed some kind of reference for when I get stuck on a card interpretation. This is very nicely laid out and it's easy to find the card you're looking for quickly. I haven't read it from beginning to end yet, as I've just "thumbed" through the card meanings so far. I definitely thinks it's a handy reference.

Excellent! Made reading the della Zingara a snap for a beginner
Two things:1) The book itself is excellent, especially if you are a complete beginner to this deck.2) The paper version is REALLY cheap, a print on demand version, so keep that in mind if it's important to you and maybe consider the kindle version instead.But even with the lacking print quality, I am so glad I got this. It REALLY opens up that deck. If you're interested, do it: you won't be sorry.

I know some reviews said it's "expensive" but honestly...worth it
The author is a business major so she obviously understands the concept of supply and demand just as well as she understands the use of the Sibilla deck(s). It definitely shows she has been working with this method of cartomancy for quite some time and has an infatuation with this deck. Best book on the market beginner, intermediate level. Well done! I hope the next book comes out in another 10-15 years as I would like to see how these interpretations grow with the author.

Just Enough!
I have 2 sets of the Gypsy Oracle's and although the little white books were provided it still didn't feel like enough. This book gives detailed information about the cards. It's not too much or too little it's just enough. It gives a clear understanding if your asking about work, health, or love. It gives different spread options and how to interpret them, and it also gives details on position. It shows the meaning if reversed, dates, numbers and other card system info. Ex. 6 of spades. I'm very happy with the purchase of this book. Well written! You will not regret getting this book!

Would like to know origins of some of the info included in this book. Found a # of typos as well.
I am interested in these cards so ordered this handbook with them. I am still perusing the book but am also interested in the associations with a standard deck, dates and numbers for straight / reversed. Author says they can be used with astrology and numberology which she doesn't use. I found quite a few typos along the way in this book. Dates repeat in some places, typos in standard deck comparisons (King = Kind, etc.). I put them in a spreadsheet to see and there are many dates of the year missing which made me wonder if the decks used now were handed down incomplete through the years. Also, the correspondences are often wierd. I would love to know where the origin of dates, card corespondences, numbers came from initially. Author says for descriptions she often used what worked for her which is fair enough, but I still would like to know the origins as close as possible in addition. Otherwise, format is similar to other tarot / oracle type books explaining a deck.

Great resource for learning Sibilla cards
This is an exceptional book to learn The Gypsy Oracle or Sibilla cards. It is a nice paperback & not a very large book. Very easy to take along with you & read. It seemed kind of expensive but there is little information on these decks. The information in the book is easy to understand. I could do basic readings right away. I'm glad I spent the money & got the book.

Wonderful book....
I love my deck of Sibilla della Zingara cards, but needed more information than was in the booklet included with the cards.... This is the perfect book for me, plenty of information to learn how to read the cards. And it has the illustrations that match the deck I bought as well, making it really easy to use this book to learn to read the cards.
