AUTHOR’S NOTE: Here is a conflict-resolution spread designed around the 3×3 “mini-tableau” of the Lenormand system, although I’ve altered the flow of the reading slightly. It can be used with any deck, but when working with Lenormand I would substitute the materialistic “Bear” (Card #15) for the equally materialistic “Devil” (Card #15) of the tarot as the symbolic paradigm behind the spread’s title. (Instead of the “giving the Devil his due” aphorism, I would propose the Big Lebowski line “Sometimes you eat the bear, sometimes the bear eats you.”)
