This example reading for my Lenormand lost & found approach is instructive for what it doesn't show me. I lost a book in our recent move. It wasn't a valuable book, just part of a two-volume set that leaves its partner orphaned on the bookshelf. We have been through all our shipping boxes now, and no book. … Continue reading Lost Book: A Lenormand Lost & Found Reading

2019 Six-Month Look-ahead
I performed a Lenormand Grand Tableau using the Gilded Reverie deck to examine my overall prospects for the first six months of 2019. All images copyright U.S. Games Systems, Inc, Stamford, CT The period begins, literally, with a new beginning - the Child in the house of Rider. The implications of this card are two-fold: … Continue reading 2019 Six-Month Look-ahead
Many Fish Bites
Although I prefer the Grand Tableau when working with the Lenormand cards, I'm always looking for opportunities to explore more single-pointed themes using smaller spreads. This was a good one. My brother and our nephew, who flew in from California, are embarking on an epic Atlantic salmon fishing trip to New Brunswick. For those who are … Continue reading Many Fish Bites
Dump That Trump? (Volume 2)
It's been a year-and-a-half since my last Grand Tableau reading on the fortunes of United States President Donald Trump, so I decided to perform an update on the subject. This time I did something a little different: there is a technique by which tarot cards are merged with Lenormand cards to provide a kind of "circumstantial background" for the Lenormand … Continue reading Dump That Trump? (Volume 2)
Crunch Time
This is the first Grand Tableau I've done in a while. We are coming down to the wire on our planned relocation to be closer to our granddaughter, and I wanted a general indication of how the situation will play out in the next three months. As Significators, I focused on the Gentleman, the Lady, … Continue reading Crunch Time
Example #2: Lenormand Deck “Attitude Check”
Ciro Marchetti's Gilded Reverie Lenormand has been my go-to deck since I first started studying that system of divination in 2013, but I've been less enamored of it lately. So I decided that I would bring it to my Lenormand "attitude check" spread to see what that might tell me. The Significator once again turned … Continue reading Example #2: Lenormand Deck “Attitude Check”
Example Reading: New Lenormand Deck “Attitude Check”
The Golden Lenormand Oracle is my newest Lenormand deck, so I thought I would run it through my new "attitude check" spread. This deck has caught some flack from traditionalists (even though it's just a dressed-up Blue Owl) because of its gold-foil "bling" and its much-larger-than-average size. I've read with it a bit and the … Continue reading Example Reading: New Lenormand Deck “Attitude Check”
2018 Midterm Election Forecast
Although the outcome of the US Congressional midterm elections won't be known until November of this year, the rhetoric is already heating up to an almost unbearable pitch. I decided to do a GT to see which of the two major US political parties will have the best chance to prevail. I used the Burning … Continue reading 2018 Midterm Election Forecast
Sneaking Up On a Dream
I just received the Golden Lenormand and decided to give it a test drive with the Grand Tableau. I wanted to find out what my professional future will be with divination (and cartomancy in particular) when we move to our new home this summer. I'm "sneaking up on it" because our main reason for making … Continue reading Sneaking Up On a Dream
2018 Grand Tableau Self-Reading
I don't read for myself much anymore, but I make an exception for the Lenormand Grand Tableau, which I like to do at least annually. There is so much detail packed into it that that I never fail to find interesting threads to pull. My 2018 GT is no exception. I did this one with … Continue reading 2018 Grand Tableau Self-Reading
