Do you have a particularly favorite way you learned to read lenormand? I know the basic meanings per card, but not as much for the method the cards are pulled. Thank you darling ♥️
The more I am asked questions on the matter of learning divination, the more I am tempted to say life taught me and naught more. Truthfully, much like with vehicles, as I was put in the driver’s seat, explained how to start the thing, and told to drive; divination is more akin to a conversation, but the same principle - learn the basics, practice, and observe, - tends to apply. After all, divination is there to provide information, nothing more and nothing less.
Now, what you are curious about, I suppose, is the very technicality of it, with which, to avoid any misunderstanding, I shall take the liberty of only mentioning the methods I personally find easiest. The very simplest Lenormand spreads are the two- and three-card one. In the first case, I read the first card as the subject, and the second one as its quality. In the second case, the first card shows the situation and is passive, the background, the second one is the active process, and the last one shows its quality or manner. A five-card spread could be useful, where the cards show the progression of the situation, with particular attention paid to the central and the last one, and additional information provided by mirrored positions: first and last, second and fourth. The Grand Tableau is quite an endeavour in itself, thus I shall only share the following trick: the first square of cards will show what the individual is concerned with at the moment of the reading, and you may use it to see whether the cards are being truthful in general that day, as well as to guide your interpretation in an appropriate direction. And, naturally, to take the cards from the top of the deck or to pull them randomly from the middle is up to you; I prefer the latter.
Then there are some traditional fortune-telling spreads popular in the areas that tend towards playing cards, which are too lengthy to share now. That said, I very much might one day, and, now that I am discovering the wonderful world of the style, I should try with a Sibilla deck.
