    Hi everyone! I'm reaquainting myself with the Lenormand and am looking for ways to practice more frequently, in order to study. I know many people do forecasts and I'd like some tips and advice because I never really managed to get the hang of them. Any suggestions on how to incorporate the Lenormand in a routine in order to improve are much much welcome! Share anything that worked for you. Thanks!

    In the German/Dutch method of Andy B, must there always be a significator in the reading? Should that be always be the Lady (for a female querent or reading for self, if one is a woman) or are there other significators in a three card reading? Is it possible, in this method, not to have a significator and just read the three cards together? Thank you for your help. <3

    I’ve just bought a reprint copy of this classic game/deck. I notice the instructions state (presumably translated from the original German) : ’2nd improved edition’. I’m wondering how the first edition differed and if the first edition instructions have ever been translated/made available?

    I feel a little trepidation about posting here, as I barely speak Lenormand. There is a deck, however, that I have lusted after for five years, and finally broke down and got. It's Berenika's Lilac & Cherry Twilight, aka the Lenormand Vintage Oracle. It is not actually a deck, but a set of two Lenormand decks, one of which is considered the darker twin of the other. Has anyone here any experience working with these decks?

    I just purchased this on Kindle, currently 9.99 from 40. (On Amazon ca) The Complete Book of The Petit Lenormand: German Method https://a.co/d/2ffhdYf I actually saw it couple weeks and added it to my wish list. I been waiting for the 3 enclopedias to come on kindle, but still only in book form. I also was looking for a more German style as though I got andy b book, I was looking for more. At first thought was going to be fluffy after the preface, I'm just now getting to German suits which is what I really looking for. I know ttam forum mods in general put forth there is no lenormand school of learning. That i…

    It says the deck is a reproduction from the Lo Scarabeo collection. What does that mean? Does anyone know their history? Why are they called Grand Tableau? Just a gimmick? https://www.loscarabeo.com/en/products/grand-tableau-lenormand-oracle-card

    The cards pictured above aren't all of the Clubs suit, obviously. They're just window dressing. ;) Clubs, in the original German suits, were Acorns. It's a hardship Suit. Preparing a meal of acorns is labor intensive and not worth the effort to people who are not starving. Clubs include the Clouds, Snake, Whips/Birchrods, Fox, Bear, Mountain, Mice, Ring, and Cross. While A few of these can be neutral sometimes, they can also carry extremely negative meanings. Lenormand is a little bendy sometimes. Scythe, for instance, is danger but it isn't a Club. But while some of these cards might also carry neutral meanings, the major, MAJOR malefics are Clouds …

    Say you want to know if love with someone is possible and you get the cards: Clover - Bouquet - Anchor Clover-Bouquet suggests it's a short-lived, flirty, non-serious romance, but... Bouquet-anchor suggests it's a long term, serious romance. How do you then make a decision? Would it be gut instinct for you? Is there a story I am not seeing? I have come across similar results before and i've never known how to interpret them.

    I'm still fairly new to this forum and English is not my first language. Apologies in advance should this thread turn out to be inappropriate in any way. So...I'm having problems doing timing readings, and it has been bugging me for a while. I know that certain readers do timing predictions with petit lenormand, either by a draw of five or a full GT (namely a timing board). I believe that the host behind the Cafe Lenormand website has a page introducing her method of a timing line of 5, and Chanah in her blog mentioned doing a full board GT with timing associations distributed to every card (should rider fall into the house of clover, for example, that would b…

    I like to pull out a few Lenormands around Halloween. Seven Stars is one of them. Anyone recall how many incarnations there are of that one? And FYI, I went on her site, Tarot by Seven, and she has the 2017 and 2015 versions. I have had at least three versions of it, but now just have one. It's the one with just the skulls and raven on the right bottom and some bottles on the right and it's numbered. Was trying to remember if that's from 2014? Anyone have that and remember the year? Anyway, anyone else have any of them? Do you have other Lenormands you'll pull out? I am very fond of Chronata's Petit Lenormand Noir. Great vibe for Hallowe…

    So, if you are working out the importance of FOCUS vs NOUNS with Cards 1 or 2 how would you view these: Heart and Snake Snake and Heart Coffin and Ring Ring and Coffin Doing FOCUS and NOUNS and looking at 1 or 2. DND ---------------- i think the key thing to make a note of ,, i am refering to the central card in your 3 , 5 , 7, 9 cards lines.. that sometimes were chosen by "focus"aka praying/mediating with it and so is choosen to focus on the issue.. and your regular central card that isnt' chosen but is still the focus of the issue. it should be noted that beyond tarot world , aka donna teaches in her 3 card video that it is .. topic, does wha…

    Most LN cards have a timing aspect. Obviously, if my spread is specifically asking for a time frame ... I would go straight to that meaning of the card. BUT ... what if it's less clear? Frex in Tarot if I see an Ace I often take it as a timing message even thought the question didn't specifically relate to timing ... but with 45 years experience ... I have a good intuition about when to do this. How do YOU use LN as timing cards? This has come up with Fox in a spread which didn't really fit the standard meanings ... the 14 days timing meaning might be more pertinent than any of the other meanings ... but this seems a bit sloppy and "…

    After banging my head against the wall on the the whole Fox vs. Moon as the LN Work card ... I've come to some Conclusions: Lenormand HAS no work card. Not like Tarot very kindly gives us 8 coins, Ace coins, Knight Coins. I REALLY REALLY wanted LN to "work" that way and give me at least ONE work card. But no. LN doesn't care how Tarot does it. I hate both Moon and Fox as "work" cards. Neither fits. Much respect to Andy B and Rana George ... but not for me. I think Rana added a Market card as an extra in her deck ... forget all the extra Lord and Lady cards ... add a Market card, please! So far I like @katrinka method of Anchor as a Job. As she …

    Cheersies! Given how the Lenormand section had been active lately, I felt I could ask if there's a suitable deck. You see, I've often admired Lenormand decks for the high purity of their card symbols - with each card, by default, containing a single symbol only (albeit a vague enough one). And so, I'm looking for a deck which has it's illustrations drawn in a correspondingly simple and pure way. A Fox that looks as close to the concept of the Fox as possible, a House depicted being the very idea of the House and so on - it's a bit hard to explain in detail, but I hope you will understand my line of thought. Are there any decks which, in your opinion, fit my de…

    I've started a study of Lenormand to keep my brain occupied and ran across this image today, can you identify the deck? It was on the https://www.worlddivinationassociation.com/post/2016/12/04/which-lenormand-spread-to-use blog and I was quite cross that they didn't identify it. Cross enough I didn't go further into the site...but then I'm crabby.

    Hey everyone, I’m new to the group. I have my great grandmothers 1901 Brepols Lenormand cards. I am learning to read them. Can anyone give me any tips and any history on the cards? I would love to gather as much information on them. I can feel a presence when they are near. I couldn’t figure out how to attach a photo.

    ..My first Lenormand deck ..It did not come with the divinatory meanings or any card spreads. 😕 ..or an Introduction. I've watched numerous You Tube un wrapping videos but still can not get the cards and their meanings down. I guess I am newer than I thought to tarot because I didn't know decks could have a number card, a tarot card, a Glyph and a color all on one card to explain it's representation.

    Hi , I recently bought the old Arabian Lenormand. It contains extra cards. One of them is a zero with a picture of spices. What does this mean? I thought there was only 36 cards.

    I came across this Lenormand deck for sale in a website. I quite like the “clean” and vintage aesthetics, but I also noticed that each card has two PCs inserts instead of one, which I had never seen before. Also, the style of the pips in each insert is different, as if they came from different decks. Any idea what they refer to? Have you ever seen a Lenormand like this before? Thanks!

    Modern Lenormad its in vogue to include extra lord and lady cards ... and some decks have a non-binary person card. Ellada deck by Daniloff ... I just read it for the first time and was surprised to discover it has a different take on the extra cards. It has a masculine and feminine #28 Lord It has a feminine and masculine #29 Lady They're not exactly non-binary ... but I thought it was an interesting take. The gender-bending cards are both musicians.
