This beautifully illustrated Gypsy Tarot deck features 36 cards by KVIZ, no. 2489, and is made in Hungary. It closely resembles the Hungarian Gypsy Card, also known as the Zigeuner Card, with only minor differences. One distinction is size—the Gypsy Tarot cards are slightly larger. Additionally, the imagery in this deck is more detailed.
When using this deck, it’s important to focus less on the individual meanings of the cards and more on their positions and the overall pattern they form on the table. The illustrations have remained largely unchanged since ancient times, as they depict universal symbols passed down through mythological traditions.
Gypsy Tarot – The Forgotten Origin.
The Widower is the true Philosopher’s Stone—not a thing to be held, but an experience to be lived. In Gypsy tarot, he stands as the embodiment of deep transformation and inner alchemy. In Sanskrit, the word 'Bharin'—meaning to bear a weight or burden—echoes the essence of his role. He bears not only sorrow but the heavy truth required to transcend it. The ancient myths spoke of a stone that could transmute base metals into gold. But this was always a metaphor—for the transformation of the self, from ignorance into wisdom, from attachment into freedom. The Widower does not seek riches—he seeks meaning. In losing, he gains. In silence, he awakens. Spiritually, the Philosopher’s Stone represents the highest state of consciousness—the soul purified by solitude, trial, and self-reflection. It is not forged in fire but in the void left behind. He walks alone, not because he is abandoned, but because the path of awakening is one of detachment. Not denial—but refinement. To carry the Widower’s wisdom is to carry the Stone. It is to endure the burden of insight, to bear the memory of what was, and still choose to rise. This is the hidden gold: the light buried under the rubble of loss, waiting to shine, but greed the shadow doesnt allow the Sun shine again.
