Continuing my look at different card divination systems, other well-known ‘storytelling’ oracle decks, of the type that became especially popular across Europe in the 18th & 19th centuries, are those known as the Sibilla Decks. There’s actually more than one deck that calls itself “Sibilla”, but the one I’m going to talk about here is La Vera …
Now for something a little different. Lenormand, as you know, is an oracle deck. And although people sometimes like to treat Lenormand as if it’s a sort of sacred religion, (much like people treat Tarot) it’s actually only one among MANY different fortune telling Oracle decks that were being created for people to play across …
Which is your favourite Lenormand Deck? Are you a traditionalist, a modernist? Do you like beautiful artwork or are do you take more of a minimalist approach? Do you go for 18th/19th Century European or more modern designs? Do you like your decks to have playing cards, verses or not? These are all considerations when …
So how are you with your 5-card spreads? This month, I’m looking at some of those ‘regular’ readings live, and putting my own on here, so you can see how they work. You can explore my beginning-of-the-month Grand Tableau and see how YOU would interpret it! As well taking a look at last week’s 5-card weekly …
This week, we’re going to be looking in more detail at the 5-Card Spread, otherwise known as the Line of 5. It can be quite a neglected spread, which is a pity because it’s one of the most useful spreads out there! What Do You Need To Be Able To Read A Line Of 5? …
Now, have you ever considered using Lenormand’s most traditional spread, the Grand Tableau for timeframes shorter than a few months? Grand Tableaus are, of course, GREAT for periods of three months, six months, a year. But have you ever considered trying one at the start of every month? This is what I’m going to start …
Do you want to see what your Grand Tableau is saying, if anything about your love life? Is there romance in the stars for you, who’s that tall, dark, handsome stranger, will your ex ever leave you alone… or do other things seem to be taking priority at the moment, however much you might wish …
What if you do a Grand Tableau, but you’re really only looking out for certain things? Now, personally, I would ALWAYS start by read directly around my Querent card as a very first port of call (the influences I’m interested in may not be the ones actually impinging at any given time), but after that… …
A notorious problem I notice for would-be Lenormand readers, is that when interpreting more than one card, some can have the tendency to interpret, not what is there in the cards, but what they WANT to see instead. This usually happens when they are reading for themselves, but can happen in answer to questions for …
Sometimes it can seem like a massive leap from just learning card meanings to actually using them to answer proper questions. And it can also seem like an even more enormous leap to go from a small reading with, say, just two or three cards, to something with any more cards AND in answer to …
