The Art of Lenormand Reading : Decoding Powerful Messages by Alexander Musruck

Welcome to the world of Lenormand! This system of divination was inspired by Madame Adelaide Lenormand, a well-known psychic at the time of the French Revolution, and was first realized in the late 1700s. This guide will help readers master a style that yields practical advice applicable to today’s world. Receive answers to your most puzzling questions by following simple steps that lead you through each of the 36 cards.

Learn to work with spreads that will take you from beginning layouts to the famed revealing of the 8 keys that unlock the Grand Tableau, which uses all the cards in one spread for an in-depth reading. Identify and understand the symbolism of regular playing cards; find out the physical attributes of people identified in your readings; learn about love, health, money, time, and more. Can be used with any Lenormand deck.

For those familiar with the Tarot deck will notice that this deck is not at all like the Tarot deck, with its 78 cards. The Lenormand deck has no ‘suits’ cards. The Lenormand deck presents the viewer with items; the Tarot deck presents the viewer with situations. The Lenormand cards do not have a reversed meaning to them. What you see is what you get.

Some card readers also like to employ the Lenormand deck as a set of ‘clarifier’ cards to further define the meaning of a particular card or cards in a reading. Clarifier cards are usually drawn from a different deck than the deck currently used.

The key operating principle with the Lenormand cards is two-fold: (1) fully learn and discern the meaning of each card, then (2) ask yourself—‘combining these two (or three) cards together, what possible message are they telling me?’
