If the person querying is a woman, one starts from sheet 29, spinning a jocular tale from the cards nearby around the figures on display. If it is for a man, the tale is started from sheet 28 and again makes use of the cards surrounding this one. This will bring much entertainment to any …
As there’s so much out there about Lenormand now, books, websites, approaches, even rivalries, many readers new to Lenormand cards get anxious both about whether they’re doing things “right” (in the sense of having confidence because they’re new to the cards) or learning the “right way” or not. This issue has several aspects. I’ve tried …
So let’s get back to basics for a bit. I haven’t really covered this, as most of my visitors come to Lenormand from Tarot, and I’m assuming that most readers therefore already have a method of shuffling their decks and cards that they’re comfortable with. If this is you, carry on. If, however, you’re find …
So to follow on from my recent posts on Traditional Meanings and the Near/Far method in the Grand Tableau, we turn to the next, inevitable, question. What different results might we see if we read the Grand Tableau using the traditional meanings and near/far method (e.g. “Philippe Lenormand” instructions) compared, for instance, to more modern methods …

(Take a look at my main …
As I mentioned in my last post, the instructions that came with most Lenormand decks from the mid 19th century onwards were the so-called “Philippe Lenormand” instructions. These were printed with the Game of Hope cards when they were rebranded as Le Petit Lenormand after the famous French fortune teller. They gave a particular way …
Now, the fantastic thing about the Grand Tableau is that it contains a ton of information. The un-fantastic thing about the Grand Tableau is…. that it contains a ton of information! Potentially way too much to deal with or get your head around. It can be overwhelming. So what different ways are there of dealing …
Now, most Lenormand readers use the cards for purely personal purposes, either in readings for themselves or for other people. But what if you fancy trying your hand, Marie Lenormand or Celebrated Fortune Teller style, at more ‘major events’ type prediction? Well, here are some cards you might see coming up should you choose the …
Now, you may be starting to feel you have got to grips with the basic meanings of all the cards. But when it comes to applying them in readings, what are the main factors that can impact the meanings? And what does this mean for you, the Lenormand reader, in terms of understanding the Lenormand …
