Believing as I do that the Lenormand symbols are meant to be taken fairly simply to indicate aspects of daily life and relationships, it was a bit challenging to take on the new thematic versions of the Lenormand deck. I was at first skeptical of the idea of, say, a Celtic theme for cards using […]

Lenormand Shift—Imbolc Tarot Blog Hop
PREVIOUS BLOG | MASTER LIST | NEXT BLOG Welcome to the first hint that winter won’t last forever, the Imbolc festival and Tarot Blog Hop. I know it can be hard to believe that we are on our way to summer, but even here in the depths of South Texas, where the length of day and night don’t change all […]
Lenormand Grand Tableau—The Year to Come
Well, I finally got around to using the Lenormand Grand Tableau. I’ve been doing my daily three-card readings and some 3X3 monthly forecasts, but the GT just seemed so large and complex that it might take hours to figure out, so I’ve been procrastinating for months and months on it. You see, the GT uses […]
A Tarot Spread from the Lenormand 3X3
So, everyone is nuts over the Lenormand fortune-telling system and new decks are proliferating all over the place (some quite good, some way out there away from the tradition). There’s been the usual fuss when something people have been using a certain way gets popular and then starts to lose its foundation as folks take […]
30-Day Lenormand Challenge—Q 20
Welcome to our walk in the Lenormand Park! Depepi’s question for number 20: How do you feel when reading the Lenormand? Is it a different feeling compared with you reading the Tarot? Yep, definitely. It’s going to take awhile, that’s for sure. Some readings come together nicely into phrases describing potential activities to be aware of, […]
30-Day Lenormand Challenge—Q 19
Depepi’s question this week: Do you read for others? Just for yourself? Why? Right now I read just for myself because the learning process for Lenormand is pretty in-depth and time-consuming. Not that Tarot is a walk in the park, but I’ve been using that system longer. I will give myself the usual two years, and […]
30-Day Lenormand Challenge—Qs 16 & 17
Welcome from the Star (guidance, nighttime)! I’m going to address two of Depepi’s Lenormand questions today, largely because I find the first one irrelevant, and it’s my blog, so I get to say why! Then I’ll talk about the second one. Depepi’s question 16 is: Do you use reversals with the Lenormand? Why? Or in my […]
30-Day Lenormand Challenge—Q 15
The Bear (mother, wealth, security, authority) welcomes you! Depepi’s question 15 is: Do you use the Tarot and the Lenormand mixed for your readings? Which layouts do you use for this? Do you think it works? Why? Nope, haven’t tried that yet. Not sure if I want to. Reading systems are so different. Although one could […]
