Cards, Divination, Other Oracle Decks / By Lozzy

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.

About Me

Hello, I'm Lozzy, and I'm a huge fan of fortune-telling cards. I started out many years ago using Tarot, but in recent years have been drawn to the more upfront, storytelling nature of the Lenormand, which doesn't have the mythic associations of the Tarot. With Lenormand, what you see is what you get; it's the particular card combinations that give the story of the reading.

Like Tarot, the cards all have symbols; unlike the Tarot system, however, each card does not represent a particular stage on a journey, and there are no major and minor arcana. The symbols are very direct; a Key for the 'answer', for example, or a Book to represent 'knowledge'; a Ship is a journey of some kind, a Snake is a betrayal. The Rider represents an arrival; the Sun, success.

I've found the accuracy of readings with Lenormand cards to be quite startling at times, and thus have found them useful for guidance and support in all sorts of situations. I read the cards for myself and for others & I love experimenting with them. What I want to do here at Lozzy's Lenormand is to share all that I've learned so far, and some techniques you can use to make the most of the cards yourself. Happy reading!
