AUTHOR'S NOTE: As sportscaster Howard Cosell might have said "How about that!" I'm calling this a "maximum mea culpa" episode because I was guilty of not trusting the cards and being too impatient with a prediction. To absolve myself, I'm going to have to choke down a big slice of crow pie, walk widdershins thrice … Continue reading Maximum Mea Culpa: A Lenormand Lost-Item Update
Lenormand Readings
The Diagonal Dilemma
AUTHOR'S NOTE: An interesting discussion on one of the Lenormand Facebook pages led me to a new perspective on the diagonal series of cards in a 3x3 tableau. I will use the example spread from my previous post for this discussion. The "central conflict" in this reading involved differing views of "access to education" in … Continue reading The Diagonal Dilemma
Affirmative Action in the Crosshairs
AUTHOR'S NOTE: The recent United States Supreme Court decision to scrap the affirmative-action provisions of federal law for institutions of higher learning inspired me to perform this reading on the future of all equal-opportunity measures for applicants to any kind of position. I decided to use a Lenormand 3x3 spread and the Old-Style Lenormand deck … Continue reading Affirmative Action in the Crosshairs
Two Lenormand Lost-Item Readings: Home and Away
AUTHOR'S NOTE: Following up on my failed lost-item reading from yesterday, I again used the "movable house" method with location meanings from the expanded list below and created two new readings for the same question: "Where is my specialty grilling cookware?" These "house" cards are randomly-drawn cards that serve as "location indicators" telling me where … Continue reading Two Lenormand Lost-Item Readings: Home and Away
Missing Cookware: A Lenormand Lost & Found Reading
UPDATE: I searched the area along the north wall of the basement but found nothing, so I did two more readings that I will post today. AUTHOR'S NOTE: We have mislaid some specialty cookware that I use on the barbecue grill, so I decided to throw my Lenormand lost-and-found spread that applies the location markers … Continue reading Missing Cookware: A Lenormand Lost & Found Reading
The Lenormand “Mystery Story” Spread & Example Reading
An online conversation about the use of tarot for exploring real-life "crime stories" brought out the observation that Lenormand cards can be used for this purpose too. Since my Lenormand work has been slacking lately, I decided to create a spread for the occasion. This layout could probably be used with Kipper cards and tarot … Continue reading The Lenormand “Mystery Story” Spread & Example Reading
2020 Summer Solstice Grand Tableau
Every six months on the solstice I do a Grand Tableau reading to look at potential circumstances over the next two quarters. This one for the 2020 Summer Solstice is especially interesting because it allowed me to use a technique I very seldom need to apply: that of transposition as described in Caitlin Mathhews' book … Continue reading 2020 Summer Solstice Grand Tableau
“Reopening America” – A Lenormand Tableau Reading
I used my new 24-card Lenormand tableau (the "Lenormand Lozenge," posted earlier) to ask what the consequences would be of reopening business and recreational venues on a nationwide basis in the United States in the near future. This is the Old Style Lenormand deck. All images copyright U.S. Games Systems, Inc, Stamford, CT The essence … Continue reading “Reopening America” – A Lenormand Tableau Reading
A “Lenormand Lozenge” Example Reading
I performed this example reading for my "Lenormand Lozenge" 24-card tableau. This is the Blue Owl Lenromand. My question was "What are the implications, complications and risks of staying on my current path?" All images © Konigsfurt-Urania "Ground Zero" in this spread lies on the "Awareness Horizon" between the four "A" alphanumeric cards; here they … Continue reading A “Lenormand Lozenge” Example Reading
COVID-19 Recovery: End of June Outlook
I haven't done much with Lenormand lately, so I thought I'd throw a 3x3 square to ask where we will be (in the United States) with the coronavirus recovery by the end of June, 2020. My intent was a disease increase/decrease forecast, but that's not exactly what I wound up with. This is Edmund Zebrowski's … Continue reading COVID-19 Recovery: End of June Outlook
