Reading with Common Sense
The times we are living in are strange, a situation most of us haven’t seen in our lifetime. Having to stay confined at home for probably quite some time, facing an enemy we cannot see. Nobody has a real idea on how the situation will evolve....
Conflicts, life is full of conflicts. Be it work, relationships, or most things in life, when someone comes for a reading, it is almost always because of some form of conflict. Husband and wife, worker and their boss, employee and the company, … these conflicts can take many different forms....
The Sun is positive. The Key is positive. The response is yes as we have a majority of positive cards … This is the kind of thoughts that can be heard everywhere. Really?...
I am a traditional reader. I never made any secret either that I see cards more in concepts or function than in an arbitrary list of keywords made up by who knows who. But even more important is respecting nature and how it behaves. What does all this have to do with Lenormand? More...
The grand tableau is not the only spread that can give a general overview when using the Petit Lenormand. There are several other spreads using less cards, the russian cross being one. Today, I’m going to show another alternative, which was described in Mary Marco’s 1989 book “Petit Lenormand, Methode de Cartomancie”....
I finally quit my 9 to 5 job. No backup. Working in the corporate world was becoming more and more painful. Now, cartomancy has become my full time job. That should give me more time to update this blog regularly and also will allow me to be more available for readings and of course...
Lenormand for advice. According to many people I see online I must not be serious! We hear everywhere that what is wonderful with Lenormand is how descriptive and down to earth it is, Tarot is the tool we normally use to give advice. I beg to differ. We can be descriptive with Tarot and...
Grand tableaus and Lenormand are a match made in heaven. And while it can be useful to do a general purpose grand tableau, these always leave me with a taste of not enough, they give you a little bit of information here and there, but not precise enough. The job is nice, the marriage...
When doing a past, present, future grand tableau with Lenormand, a popular technique to enrich the interpretation is to use houses. The houses are defined as if they were arranged numerically from 1 to 36 on the tableau, the Rider representing the first card in position 1, up to the Cross at position 36,...
A few days ago, I threw a few Lenormand cards for a question asked by a friend, and that made me reflect about the usefulness of keywords. His daughter, college student, had a big test coming and was wondering if the result would be a success....
The scythe is always a difficult card to interpret. There is a fine line between real danger and perceived threat. The old instructions, known as the Philippe Lenormand sheet, are very specific, “the scythe indicates great danger, which will only be avoided if lucky cards surround it”....
A quick tip before the end of summer vacations. In general, questions starting with “should I” are probably not the best idea....
Tableaus are where Lenormand and playing cards really shine. But when we’re dealing with a precise question, or when a grand tableau would be too much information for the subject, a mini tableau becomes my spread of choice....
I love cooking… You might be wondering what great cooking has in common with cartomancy. Quite a lot, that will become evident in a few sentences…...
I like Lenormand line readings a lot. They are an easy and quick way to provide fast and direct answers; and at the same time versatile enough for most questions. These are ideal when you want to know where you are standing on a particular matter....
