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.
There are various Lenormand decks; I show my own well-used, well-loved and slightly battered cards (the Lo Scarabeo Lenormand Oracle, a Spanish deck) on some of the site and have created my own versions of the cards for the rest.
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!
