Forensic Cartomancy: Lenormand Cards Discuss Missing Child Diana Alvarez

Here’s a question for you. If you pulled some Lenormand cards to find out whether a missing child was dead or alive and got DOG + BOOK + SCYTHE + CHILD + GARDEN + BIRDS, would you say that child was dead or alive?

I say ‘dead’ and will explain why and how I came to that conclusion further down in this post. But first, I’d like to discuss factors leading up to that particularly grim determination.

 

 

Background

According to news and media reports, Diana Alvarez, a nine year old Fort Myers, Florida child, was discovered missing from her home around 7:00 am on Sunday, May 29, 2016. Over the next several days it became sickeningly clear that a 28 year old male with the initials JG* likely was responsible for the child’s disappearance.

*********************************

*JG had been a tenant at the family’s home, living there and paying rent. When family members noticed that JG appeared to be inappropriately interested in Diana and Diana appeared to be smitten by his attention, they insisted JG move out. This occurred in early May, shortly before the little girl disappeared.

**********************************

As I write this post, the suspect JG is in custody, charged with possession of child pornography. He has not claimed responsibility for the disappearance of Diana Alvarez and has since “lawyered up.” The child is still missing.

The Astrology

I have mentioned before, in this post and this one, that I primarily use forensic horary astrology techniques to discover what has happened in missing persons cases.

Because this is a cartomancy blog and not an astrology blog, I will not go into the blow-by-blow details that I was able to pull from careful analysis of the pertinent charts, other than to say there were numerous indications of kidnap, rape and murder, along with disturbing indications of extreme violence. If you are astrologically oriented, you can get the general idea from my scribbled notes on the “Discovered Missing” chart below.

Sickening, at best.

Based on past experience, it occurred to me that perhaps the Lenormand cards could shed more light on the matter. While the astrology was certainly clear enough, I’ve found the cards can often add another layer that is helpful to understanding the dynamics surrounding these tragic cases.

First I pulled a Lenormand Square of 9 to get the general “lay of the land,” so to speak.

Lenormand Square of 9: Circumstances Surrounding Diana Alvarez Disappearance

Lenormand Square of 9: 3 Ship - 26 Book - 9 Bouquet - 18 Dog - 22 Crossroads - 7 Snake - 13 Child - 24 Heart - 15 Bear http://livingwithcards.com

Mlle Lenormand Cartomancy Deck of 36 Cards

 

Note: None of these cards were preselected.

Diana is 13 Child, JG is 18 Dog. We can easily see they went on a road trip (SHIP + ROADS) that ended badly (SHIP + ROADS + SNAKE). Diana has a crush on JG (DOG + HEART), but JG has told her they have to keep it a secret (BOOK + HEART) from Mama and/or Papa (BEAR). JG gives Diana gifts (BOUQUET) or perhaps promises (HEART) to give them. Diana trusts JG (DOG).

22 Crossroads with 3 Ship + 26 Book suggests a “secret journey.” She should expect something wonderful and pleasant (BOUQUET). Perhaps the roads they traveled were wind-y,  or full of curves, or a round-about route (ROADS + SNAKE). Perhaps a bear or two (BEAR) had been spotted there. Maybe he told her they were going to stop to see the bears (BEAR) on their way to the “big surprise” (BOUQUET) he had for her.

She was so incredibly trusting (CHILD + HEART). Most nine year olds are.

****************************************

 

While the Lenormand Square of 9 was descriptive enough, it did not seem to address the critical question. So, taking a breath, I thoroughly re-mixed the cards and asked:

Q: Diana Alvarez Dead or Alive?

Lenormand Line of 5 with Base Card: 18 Dog - 26 Book - 10 Scythe - 13 Child - 20 Garden - 12 Birds http://livingwithcards.com
Lenormand Line of 5 with Base Card: 18 Dog – 26 Book – 10 Scythe – 13 Child – 20 Garden – 12 Birds

Mlle Lenormand Cartomancy Deck of 36 Cards

Following my normal procedure, I selected the base card (bottom card of the shuffled deck), placing it directly below the central (hinge) card of the Lenormand Line of 5. I have repeatedly found this extra card adds value to the reading, either by modifying one or more of the three cards above it, supplying additional information or clarification, and/or by pointing out a factor that should be considered.

DOG, BOOK and CHILD once again appeared in this second card draw. The repetition of cards in spite of vigorous shuffling and re-mixing in between draws did not go unnoticed. JG is the DOG (trusted friend, loved one, typically male); Diana is the CHILD and the BOOK is the secret between them.

The Line of 5 is quite straightforward. It suggests that the secret friend (DOG + BOOK) “cut” her down/ committed a violent act against her (SCYTHE + CHILD), then buried or placed her in a lushly vegetated area such as a park or nature preserve (GARDEN).

As a modifier to SCYTHE, BIRDS (associated with the throat and/or vocal chords) suggests “air.” Combining the base card with the hinge cardSCYTHE can be a “cut” or an “interruption” and BIRDS breathing and/or the breathing process (air). Did JG “cut” (SCYTHE) her throat (BIRDS)? Did he “interrupt” or “cut off” (SCYTHE) her airways (BIRDS)?  …. In other words, did he strangle or suffocate her so she wouldn’t (couldn’t) “talk” (SCYTHE + BIRDS)?

Conclusions

The forensic horary astrology charts suggest that Diana Alvarez is no longer with us. The Lenormand cards appear to agree. Both approaches suggest strangulation/ asphyxiation (with possible testimonies for slashing of the throat) as cause of death.

The Lenormand cards suggest Diana may be found in a garden, park, nature preserve or other area where there is lush vegetation (GARDEN). With BIRDS as the base card in the Line of 5, perhaps the authorities will have some success getting the perp to “talk.”

We can only hope…

Note regarding my process: I will only examine a Missing Persons case when I have a reasonable understanding of the circumstances surrounding the disappearance, a reliable timeline including the date, time and place the person was either discovered missing and/or reported missing to police, and the victim’s birth data. The birth data of the perpetrator/ prime suspect is helpful as well. I prefer to work with current cases.

Unlike psychics (no disrespect intended), I do not base my findings on dreams or visions, nor do I pull information out of the ethers (or my butt, depending on your level of skepticism). Rather, I read the ‘star language‘ contained in the forensic astrology charts that I examine and interpret it to the best of my ability.

The first step (after familiarizing myself with a case) is always the casting and examination of the relevant astrology chart(s), which are carefully compared to the victim’s natal chart before drawing any conclusions. Once that’s done, I may or may not throw a card spread or two to gain additional information, as I did here. Yes, intuition is involved. So is common sense. Everybody has both of these faculties to some degree or another.

 


Forensic Cartomancy: Gypsy Witch Fortune Telling Playing Cards Offer Possible Clue to Gabriella Doolin Murder

According to cartomancy lore, when cards “fly out of the deck” inadvertently landing face up “on the floor” during your shuffle, whatever those particular cards represent will come “to your door.”

This morning, while shuffling for a daily draw with the Gypsy Witch Fortune Telling Playing Cards, that’s exactly what happened. The dropped cards that landed “face up” on the floor fell in two groups: DOG + MOUNTAIN and BOOK + ROSES + PARK.

Gypsy Witch Fortune Telling Playing Cards

 

Curious as to what these cards might be telling me, I spent a few minutes jotting down possible interpretations.

Gypsy Witch Fortune Telling Playing Cards 27 Dog - 32 Mountain http://livingwithcards.com
Gypsy Witch Fortune Telling Playing Cards 27 Dog – 32 Mountain
  1. Someone you know (DOG) rejects you, cuts you off, or is acting cold towards you (MOUNTAIN)
  2. A stalker (MOUNTAIN) is someone you know (DOG)
  3. A friend (DOG) is facing obstacles, frustrations, challenges or delays (MOUNTAIN)
  4. A stubborn (MOUNTAIN) friend (DOG)
  5. A friend/ someone you know (DOG) is delayed (MOUNTAIN)
Gypsy Witch Fortune Telling Playing Cards 22 Book - 41 Roses - 26 Park http://livingwithcards.com
Gypsy Witch Fortune Telling Playing Cards 22 Book – 41 Roses – 26 Park
  1. People might enjoy/ appreciate (ROSES) card readings (BOOK) posted to social media networks (PARK)
  2. Attracting a secret admirer (BOOK + ROSES) at a social function (PARK)
  3. Noticing/ coming across a book (BOOK) on how to plant roses (ROSES) in one’s garden (PARK)

I had no reason to think the cards might be talking about anything else. Done deal. I’d wait and see if any of these scenarios popped up over the next day or two.

Setting my cards and notebook aside, I booted up the computer and checked out Google News, something I do every morning. To my shock and horror, I saw the story about little Gabriella Doolin, a seven year old  Scottsville, KY child who vanished on Saturday, November 15, 2015 during a well-attended high school football game. Little Gabriella was found dead only 25 minutes after she had been reported missing. Law enforcement declared the death a homicide due to the state in which the child was found and evidence at the scene.

My dear Readers, I am a mother and a grandmother. Cases involving babies and children especially tear my heart up. To say they disturb me greatly would be an understatement. After clicking through and reading the online news reports, I cast a forensic astrology chart based on the Reported Missing time at the location of the incident:

My handwritten notes will give you an indication of my preliminary thoughts and suspicions.

*******************************

As I was working with the astrology chart, jotting down notes, out of nowhere the images of DOG + MOUNTAIN and BOOK + ROSES + PARK from the Gypsy Witch cards that had dropped to the floor earlier this morning appeared in my head. I swear my mouth dropped open. I suddenly realized the Gypsy Witch Fortune Telling Playing Cards had provided me with possible clues regarding this poor child’s murder before I had even read the articles that caused me to become aware of it.

Gypsy Witch Possible Clue #1: DOG + MOUNTAIN

Gypsy Witch Fortune Telling Playing Cards 27 Dog - 32 Mountain http://livingwithcards.com
Gypsy Witch Fortune Telling Playing Cards 27 Dog – 32 Mountain

DOG: friendly person, someone you know, someone you trust, possibly a family member, usually male

MOUNTAIN: predator, enemy [Note above I jotted down “stalker” as a possible interpretation.]

It is highly likely Gabriella knew (and possibly trusted) her attacker.

Gypsy Witch Possible Clue #2: BOOK + ROSES + PARK

Gypsy Witch Fortune Telling Playing Cards 22 Book - 41 Roses - 26 Park http://livingwithcards.com
Gypsy Witch Fortune Telling Playing Cards 22 Book – 41 Roses – 26 Park

BOOK: teacher, student, secretive person, educated person. Jack of Hearts on this card gives an indication of a young male, possibly a family member or a young man well known (and likely trusted) to Gabriella and her family. Very possibly a young man who attends or teaches at the high school where the football game was being played. Secrets and/or hidden information in general.

ROSES: attraction, good looks, healthy, “look don’t touch” (thorns). Is this card describing the perp or Gabriella, who was a pretty young girl? Please note well: in cartomancy, 9 of Spades can be interpreted as “force,” as well as “rape.” ROSES/9 of Spades suggests the perp forced himself upon Gabriella, at the least, and raped her at worst. If nothing else, it certainly seems to be an indication of his intent.

PARK: public gathering, socializing, an actual park. While the card could describe a “social butterfly” type of person, perhaps somewhat superficial and likely single, I’m leaning towards seeing it as a location card, i.e., where the event took place.

Was the perp someone who attends either Gabriella’s or her older brother’s school (BOOK) who was secretly intrigued by or obsessed with (BOOK + ROSES) her good looks/ pretty face (ROSES)? Did he take advantage of the cover of the crowd (PARK) and lure her away, intending to force himself (9 of Spades) upon her?

DOG says she knew (and likely trusted) him. MOUNTAIN says he’s a predator. BOOK + ROSES suggests a covert, hidden attraction. PARK is a multiplier card, suggesting “more of” whatever the card to its left indicates. So the combination could be saying “a secret, possibly obsessive attraction.” Ominously, the 9 of Spades on the ROSES card screams “rape.” PARK shows the location where the event took place.

Gypsy Witch Clarification Cards: RIDER + FISH + SNAKE

Since the Gypsy Witch Fortune Telling Playing Cards is a 52-card deck (not counting the three Jokers), I calculated the Clarification cards by adding the card values and reducing to a number equaling 52 or below. I did this in sets (DOG + MOUNTAIN and BOOK + ROSES + PARK), as well as adding all five cards together.

DOG + MOUNTAIN = 27 + 32 = 59 = 5+9 = 14 = 14 RIDER

BOOK + ROSES + PARK = 22 + 41 + 26 = 89 = 8+9 = 17 = 17 FISH

All five cards together = 27 + 32 + 22 + 41 + 26 = 148 = 1+4+8 = 13 = 13 SNAKE

Gypsy Witch Fortune Telling Playing Cards 14 Rider - 17 Fish - 13 Snake http://livingwithcards.com
Gypsy Witch Fortune Telling Playing Cards 14 Rider – 17 Fish – 13 Snake

Once again the cards suggest a young man (RIDER). He is likely fit, active, and possibly an athlete. He may “come from money” or have dark hair (FISH). This person likely knows how to “slither around” without being detected (SNAKE). He could have a charming, seductive/luring (even hypnotic) way about him (think Snake in the Garden of Eden tempting Eve). Also, snakes often strike without warning. According to news reports, one minute Gabriella was happily watching the football game, the next minute she was gone.

This is the second Jack we’ve seen in these card draws. Could the perp be a relative / related to the family (Diamonds) in some way? Could there be two perps (two Jacks in the card draws)?

**************************************

I could probably add another thousand words to this post, but frankly, I’m feeling wiped. I can only hope and pray the Scottsville, KY police solve the case quickly, bringing the perpetrator to justice and providing closure to the family.

If anyone cares to share insights and/or other interpretations for either the chart or the cards I’ve drawn, please use the comment feature.

In the meantime, R.I.P., little Gabriella.

Blessings,

Mary Hawkins

UPDATE: November 20, 2015:

Kentucky Police arrested Timothy Madden of Scottsville, age 38, for the kidnapping, rape, sodomy and murder of 7 year old Gabriella Doolin. According to news reports, Madden is known to the family (went to high school with Gabriella’s father) and sat near them during the football game at which Gabriella disappeared.

DOG + MOUNTAIN was chillingly accurate: someone known to the family (DOG); a predator (MOUNTAIN).

BOOK showed the connection to the school. (Madden attended Scottsville High School with the victim’s father. Madden attended the football game and sat near the family.)

ROSES showed the rape, and PARK was obviously a location card (public event, gathering outdoors).

The Clarification cards are less clear to me at this time, other than SNAKE does have a sexual connotation. If you’ve seen the photos of Madden, obviously, he does not have much hair and doesn’t seem to ‘come from money’ (FISH). He is also not what I would consider to be a ‘young man’ (RIDER).



Forensic Cartomancy: Lenormand Cards Discuss Missing Child DeOrr Kunz Jr

As anyone who’s ever cast and read a simple three card Past-Present-Future spread knows, the cards can certainly “speak” to something that has happened in the past, as well as suggest the probable future concerning the question(s) at hand.

I normally use astrology to ascertain the energies surrounding missing person cases. From time to time, however, when prompted, I may also throw a card spread or two, to clarify, confirm or refute information I’ve gleaned from astrological analysis.

If you follow missing persons cases, you likely know that on July 10, 2015 in Leadore, Idaho, DeOrr Kunz, Jr., a healthy 2-1/2 year old child, disappeared into nowhere while on a camping trip with his mother, father, great-grandpa and family friend. As of the date and time of this post, DeOrr Kunz, Jr. has not been found.

DeOrr Kunz, Jr. missing from Leadore, Idaho July 10, 2015
DeOrr Kunz, Jr. missing from Leadore, Idaho July 10, 2015

Theories as to what happened to this child include (in no particular order): stranger abduction; harm suffered at the hands of one or more of the caretakers and subsequent cover-up; wandering away from the campsite and either (a) drowning or (b) getting carried off by a mountain lion.

The problem with all these theories is that there is no credible evidence that any of them could have happened. Yet, on the other hand, children (or adults for that matter) simply do not “disappear into nowhere.”

So what really happened here?

I’m not going to go into what I first ascertained from careful analysis of the pertinent astrology charts other than to say that there were strong indications of death, likely due to drowning. A few days later, still mulling over the charts and their “testimony,” it occurred to me that perhaps a Lenormand Square of 9 could provide additional information. I cast the spread specifically to address these questions:

The Questions for Lenormand:

  1. What (really) happened to DeOrr Kunz, Jr.?
  2. Who (or what) is responsible?
  3. Will he be found?

I pre-decided that the cards in Row 1 would address the first question, the cards in Row 2 would address the second question and the cards in Row 3 would address the third question. Any other information I could gather from the way the cards fell would be a bonus.

Here’s what I got:

 

Lenormand Square of 9 for Missing Child DeOrr Kunz, Jr.: 11 Whip - 23 Mice - 6 Clouds - 34 Fish - 12 Birds - 17 Storks - 30 Lilies - 21 Mountain - 16 Stars
Lenormand Square of 9 for Missing Child DeOrr Kunz, Jr.: 11 Whip – 23 Mice – 6 Clouds – 34 Fish – 12 Birds – 17 Storks – 30 Lilies – 21 Mountain – 16 Stars

 

What Happened? 11 WHIP – 23 MICE – 6 CLOUDS

 

Lenormand Square of 9 for Missing Child DeOrr Kunz Row 1: 11 Whip - 23 Mice - 6 Clouds
Lenormand Square of 9 for Missing Child DeOrr Kunz Row 1: 11 Whip – 23 Mice – 6 Clouds

These cards suggested a frantic runaround: frenzied activity, running around in circles, stress, exhaustion, confusion. In simplest terms, the Lenormand cards seemed to suggest that the child wandered off and got lost.

Who (or What) is Responsible? 34 FISH – 12 BIRDS – 17 STORKS

 

Lenormand Square of 9 for Missing Child DeOrr Kunz Jr Row 2: 34 Fish - 12 Birds - 17 Storks
Lenormand Square of 9 for Missing Child DeOrr Kunz Jr Row 2: 34 Fish – 12 Birds – 17 Storks

I immediately keyed into the people cards: King of Diamonds (34 FISH) and Queen of Hearts (17 STORKS) — dad and mom. With 12 BIRDS in the middle of the row and as the central card in the Square of 9, there was likely a communication issue with Great-Grandpa (King of Spades – 30 LILIES), who from news accounts may have been suffering from some degree of confusion (6 CLOUDS). Because of the positioning of 23 MICE + 6 CLOUDS, I sensed a miscommunication or a lack of communication.

It’s interesting to note this row starts with 34 FISH. The “story” surrounding DeOrr’s disappearance is that the mom, dad and family friend decided to go fishing. The parents allegedly asked the child if he wanted to come along or stay behind with Great-Grandpa (30 LILIES) and DeOrr chose Great-Grandpa, who somehow lost track of DeOrr (6 CLOUDS) and then mistakenly assumed the child had changed his mind and followed the parents.

Will the Child Be Found? 30 LILIES – 21 MOUNTAIN – 16 STARS

 

Lenormand Square of 9 for Missing Child DeOrr Kunz Jr. Row 3 - 30 Lilies - 21 Mountain - 16 Stars
Lenormand Square of 9 for Missing Child DeOrr Kunz Jr. Row 3 – 30 Lilies – 21 Mountain – 16 Stars

Both LILIES and MOUNTAIN suggest a long time, with MOUNTAIN additionally suggesting obstacles and delays. [Note: LILIES can sometimes be a death marker. WHIP, FISH and LILIES read vertically suggests a struggle in water that leads to the grave.] 16 STARS at the end of the row points to success, so I think, yes, DeOrr Kunz, Jr. will eventually be recovered, after a “long time” and many delays and obstacles.

I noted with interest that the card numbers assigned to Row 3 reduce to 13 (30 + 21 + 16 = 67 = 6 + 7 = 13), which equals 13 CHILD. That prompted me to flip over cards in the remaining Lenormand deck until I found 13 CHILD, which I selected along with the card before and the card after:

 

Clarification Cards for Lenormand Square of 9 Spread for Missing Child DeOrr Kunz Jr - 22 Crossroads - 13 Child - 10 Scythe
Clarification Cards for Lenormand Square of 9 Spread for Missing Child DeOrr Kunz Jr – 22 Crossroads – 13 Child – 10 Scythe

This combination suggests the child may have suffered an accident or, in some other way, was suddenly separated him from his caregivers (SCYTHE) while “on a journey / taking a walk” (CROSSROADS). The cards appear to support the message contained in Row 1 which indicated the child simply wandered away and got lost. Unfortunately, SCYTHE to the right of CHILD does not point to an eventual happy resolution.

Blessings,
