You pose some excellent questions and one answer fits all - what meaning are YOU going to give to the cards? Traditional readers (my second book is on the original Method of Distance method that this system employed from its inception. store.bookbaby.com/book/the-petit-lenormand-traditional-grand-tableau) The Lily was the original card that represented peace within one’s life. Family life was important during the 18th and 19th century Europe when your survival depended on a strong and prosperous family. This is why the Lily represents marital bliss (thus it represents sex through love rather than lust), satisfaction with one’s life, peace and harmony in your personal life. The House is a structure - it houses you and those you live with who may not be family. It represents your personal life but it’s the cards around it that will tell you how it’s going. You’d want to see the Lily above the House card, yes? As for the Tree card, it has come to mean many things by modern readers who incorporate tarot and oracle card meanings to it. Traditionally, it’s the card of health - how something is rooted and how it is growing. The Tree is a part of the natural word as are we while in physical form. The Tree shades what’s on either side of it and the roots feed on the soil below (drains the card below). We read the cards around the Tree to determine the state of health of the seeker or the health of a situation or idea in question. So, if the Tree falls near the seeker, it’s bringing attention to the state of health, yes? When the health of something or someone needs no attention, then the card would fall far, yes? The Tree has nothing to do with family but has been given that association because of the word “roots”. I don’t need a card to represent family roots if I already have a card for family. The family card’s position within the spread the surrounding cards would tell me all I need to know about it. If the Tree card falls near my family card (I use House for those living with me and the Lily for extended family), then some aspect of its health needs my attention. Based on the other cards present, I may see the issue as connected to family roots/ancestors. Overall, the problem with many modern readers is that they want each card to have a specific meaning but in Lenormand, it’s the positioning and the combined energy of the clusters of several cards in relation to the context of the question that provides the meaning. I hope that helps!

All of the clusters are explained in my second book, “The Petit Lenormand Traditional Grand Tableau.” The partner card is not part of the relationship cluster, only the Ring, Heart, and Anchor. The cards sitting around the partner card and the cards that connect your card to it (the vertical and horizontal axis cards) and the cards that separate you (all cards falling directly between the two cards) have their own story to tell. For example, the cards around the partner card can describe who this person is, where you may find them, or why you aren’t noticing them. You’ll find the information on the Love Cluster on page 85 of the printed book.

@@lisaloveslenormand6357 Thank you!

Thank you. Anything to make learning fun!!

My pleasure! I'm so glad you enjoyed it!

I can't fully comment without seeing all the cards, yet the story begins with something wrong/sneaky. The Snake is in the hidden issue spot, showing hidden treachery, and asks you to be cautious with those you deal with because something isn't straightforward (the Snake is twisted, yes?).

@ Hidden is the heart. Snake is the first card. But yes I still feel something isn’t right. Thank you so much!

Absolutely! Great comment.

Thank you so much! 🥰

You are so welcome! Glad it was helpful!

If you laid a past, present, and future spread, then that's somewhat correct. In that type of spread, the column you land in represents your present, to the left is your past, and to the right is your future. This was never practiced in traditional Lenormand where each grand tableau was laid for a single time period and the spread is interpreted based on the Method of Distance. I explain all of it in my book,store.bookbaby.com/book/the-petit-lenormand-oracle

You’re welcome! Glad it was helpful! 😊

Awww, thank you for such a sweet comment! It’s SO amazing when we discover Lenormand, isn’t it? I think Lenormand chooses us. Enjoy the journey!!!!🤩

Thank you! 😊

Yes, absolutely. The cards we draw at any moment in time are based on the energy we’re emitting at that moment. This is why it’s vital to be of a neutral mind when consulting the cards. It’s why I meditate for a few moments before I pick them up. Also, situations are constantly evolving - everything is in a perpetual state of change. When things appear to be staying the same, it’s because they’re changing to the same things based on our energy. If we begin to think differently about something, we are literally attracting a different response. Keep in mind that the cards can show us many different aspects and ways of viewing the same situation. You can also derive the same answer to a question by approaching it in many different ways and you’ll get different cards to explain it. If you can provide an example, I’d be able to better assist you.

@@lisaloveslenormand6357 this may be true when reading the spread as a story. I'm talking about specific questions about specific events that are locked in time. The future is fluid only to an extent; there are some events that are locked in on our timeline. What I did notice though when I tested this further, is that the connection with the cards depends on our focus on the question. When I maintain t he focus, I am getting the same response. So I agree with your suggestion to meditate and focus before working with Lenormand. I've been working for many years with Tarot, yet never had such a strong connection with it like I have with Lenormand cards which I have discovered only recently, for some strange reason. That was definitely a quantum jump to another reality as these cards were not in my previous reality. I talk about quantum jumps on my podcast you will find on my TH-cam channel. 🙂

How wonderful! Take your time and really let it sink in. Play with your cards throughout the entire learning process. Form that relationship. They have the ability to tell you anything you want to know! 😀

You are so welcome! And, thank you so much for your great feedback! Fun is the greatest way to learn!!!! 😀

Glad it was helpful! Thank you for your comment. :-)

My pleasure! I’m so glad they’re helpful. 😀

The Book refers to knowledge that you don't yet have - information that you don't yet know. This is why it's the card of secrets when it comes up next to the partner card or in a small spread for a question about someone's honesty. It also is the life-area card for education and of course represents books and divination cards too. The original image was a grimoire.

There are cards that relate to expansion and increase - the Fish (card of abundance and increase), the Ship card relates to going a distance, going further, exploring foreign territories (literally, mentally, metaphorically), trying something exotic and foreign, and even the Garden (bringing something out into the open, from private to public, including more people, etc).

I'm so glad!

Glad it was helpful!

Yes, ma'am!

What's most significant in Lenormand is proximity - more so than position. The Directional cue for card 18 is "the card the Dog faces shows loyalty when near and disloyalty when far." Remember that this system was created for use in a tableau but when learning, you really want to stick to 3-card lines until you have a good foundational understanding of the cards. For small spreads you need a specific question and all cards drawn are considered near in proximity. What that means is that in a tableau, if you want to know about the client's friendships or loyalties, you find where the Dog landed and note its distance from the client's card and what cards immediately touch it. If you need to know more, you can then note what the Dog is facing. The first book teaches all the basics and an intro to the Method of Distance (MOD). The second book teaches the original MOD system.

Directional cues are listed in the first book. Not all cards have them and not every reader uses them all. Most readers use directional cues for the Scythe and Clouds. www.amazon.com/Petit-Lenormand-Oracle-Comprehensive-Century/dp/1098359704/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&dib_tag=se&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.osOqUPg31zaazHWccGHIsMP80KRUq9pfY2ejaeqaM0DGjHj071QN20LucGBJIEps.HBDDOOWSiJRtA04rHL5YVR5a3VDst8uGqZ_bKIQS1iI&qid=1726859306&sr=8-1

You're most welcome and thank you for the lovely comment. What I mean when I say that the cards to the right are "stronger" is that they carry more weight because I always read the cards from left to right. Just as the cards above carry more weight that the cards below. I always want to tell the cards how I view the spread - how I read it - so they know how to fall.

I was watching shows like that when I was single and in college I was planning to live in an RV! We just sold our motorhome last year because here in the Northeast we didn't get enough use out of it. We discovered airbnb's. I grew up in a motorhome family. :-)

@@lisaloveslenormand6357 that's awesome. Air BNB's is another fun way to travel.

I love creative and resourceful people! Plenty of people live in motorhomes - why not a school bus?

@@lisaloveslenormand6357 it's nice because I built it so I know how to fix everything. Also they are built tougher than RVs.

@@Thecronesbones Wow! Nice. My dad bought a Greyhound bus and converted it into a motorhome. In the days before slide-outs!

@@lisaloveslenormand6357 that's so awesome. I love that

@@lisaloveslenormand6357 my bus is an old 85. I think that's before slide outs.

All of my small GJL decks were purchased on eBay. You can’t always find them but if you do frequent searches, you should find one. They all appear to be made in Russia.

Email me at lisaloveslenormand@gmail.com. Show me any spreads you’ve already laid out and what you’re asking the cards.

There’s never been an established “dark side” and each deck is different. Whichever side the darkness falls is valuable information in a tableau so always interpret what lays in front of you, not what you’d prefer or think would be better. I’m not exactly sure what you’re asking. Can you rephrase the question?

I would do a search for Zen Simply Lenormand. I imagine they all ship to Canada.

@@lisaloveslenormand6357 Yes, I did find out how to buy Zenn's deck. It is an unfamiliar purchase process but I figured it out. We've had a bit of a conversation during the process and she's a lovely person. She said it will take about 3 weeks to receive from India.

Yay, thank you for your comment and I'm thrilled that you're learning Lenormand!

Can you elaborate on your question? I'm not sure what "look stay ring" refers to.

@@lisaloveslenormand6357 of you are looking for a ring would you still use the key as the object

Thank you! I'm so glad it was helpful.

Thank you, Gabrielle. Just pause the video or slow down the playback speed to study the cards. That's the beauty of YT videos! :-)

Glad it was helpful! 🤠

Absolutely, yes! In fact, that's how I became interested in the Lenormand cards. This is taken from the first page of the first Lenormand book I published, " Picture this if you will. You’re sitting at your desk on a lovely Friday afternoon in June playing with your cards. A woman approaches and says, “Oh, I didn’t know you read cards!” excitedly. You reply that you're only learning. She tells you that her Persian kitten, Irina, got out of the house a couple of days prior and asks you to see what the cards have to say about the kitten returning home. You remind her that you’re new to the cards and are a little nervous about asking such an important question. She assures you that she will take what you say with a grain of salt. Ok. The pressure’s off. You begin to shuffle your deck while concentrating on this question, “show me if Irina will return home by the end of the week”. You lay out three cards. They are, Cross-Sun-House. You look at the cards for only a second or two and say, “After church on Sunday, she’ll return home”. No sooner do the words leave your mouth that you begin to second-guess yourself and you start to make excuses, reminding her that you really don’t know how to read these cards yet. Once again, she assures you that it’s fine and thanks you before leaving. As soon as she’s gone you start rethinking what you’d just told her. No wait maybe Irina is in distress (Cross) and she’s stuck in the sun or a very hot place (Sun) and the House card could be someone else’s house. Maybe it’s a yellow house and she’s hot because they have no AC (Sun). What if that woman doesn’t even go to church (Cross)? Oh no! Maybe I spoke too soon and should’ve pondered over the cards longer. Interpreting these cards can’t be that easy. What did I do? You put your cards away and remind yourself that she wasn’t going to take what you said seriously anyway. Upon returning to work the following Monday, you receive an amazing phone call. It’s the woman with the kitten. She tells you that the day before (Sunday), Irina was waiting for her on her patio when she returned from church. Everyone lives happily ever after and a new Lenormand reader is born." I saw the Cross as church, I saw the Sun as Sunday, and the House as home. The Sun card doesn't actually represent Sunday, but I was reading intuitively. The art of card reading requires intuition. Once you learn to differentiate between your intuition (right brain) and your conscious thoughts (left brain), you'll be a star!

@@lisaloveslenormand6357 che bellissima esperienza!!! Grazie per averla condivisa con noi. Sicuramente ascolterò di più l’istinto, le intuizioni che sono molto fondamentali… 💝💝💝💝💝
