The Gourmand, whether reversed or upright, is one of the most uplifting and pleasant cards to receive in a reading. Known often as the ‘wish card’ it can mean that what you are hoping for or dreaming about most is very likely to be yours. The reversal says that the wishes for you will go even deeper; these are not superficial wishes that are at play now. That’s a good thing.
