Zigeuner Fidelity = Lenormand Dog

FIDELITY = Loyal person or situation. Trusting friend. A volunteer.  DOG = Reliability. You can count on this situation or person that is depicted in surrounding cards. This card suggests a deep bond of friendship.  Often a pet.

ZIGEUENER. BIEDERMEIR. ART DECO.

MYSTICAL LENORMAND

The dog is known as “wo/man’s best friend.  If you have a dog as a pet you will understand the loyalty represented by this card.

All the images shown depict feelings of trust. The saying, “through thick and thin” comes to mind.

I always look forward to seeing these cards in a layout surrounded by other more promising cards.  When cards of a negative connotation are nearby there is a strong suggestion a friendship or situation has soured to some degree. Often we can discover problems around a friend which could help explain why they are acting out of character.

Study the block of cards around Fidelity or the Dog to gain more knowledge of the person or situation.

The Fidelity and Dog cards give such a profound feeling of faithfulness. The true essence of devotion is sacred. 

Meditate on these cards to understand loyalty. Perhaps you are experiencing a tinge of misplaced trust. Ask yourself if you are having thoughts of mistrust about another individual. Most of you will know that we attract individuals or situations into our lives which reflect aspects of our own thoughts energy. Maybe you need to restore your own faith in yourself.

Fidelity / Dog  =  You can count on me!

Lenormand Fox in 8 card block

Previous post on the Snake card – 24 May 208

Even though I use the multi-level meanings of these cards at different times I get the same feeling from the FOX card as I do with SNAKE.
I’ll use an example taken from a Lenormand full board reading which you can see below.

French Cartomancy Deck

FOX is behind the LADY and SNAKE is above her.  Do you suppose she is surrounded by some deception involving the GENTLEMAN who is ahead of her in the near future spot?
Obviously the RIDER has delivered some news (LETTER) in the very recent past to this LADY.  This event is on the LADY’s mind at the current time. You can gather that a decision was involved (PATH) which turned out to be somewhat underhanded.  Whatever happened in the past the appearance of FOX and SNAKE was not an enjoyable experience with the LADY.
It looks like someone is lying to the LADY or she found out about an sneaky motive?  Maybe she is lying to herself and pretending these circumstances don’t exist.  Is the LADY playing a mind game with the GENTLEMAN?
There are lots of angles to these cards.  Interestingly, the CLOVER sits above the GENTLEMAN.  Could he have had a brief temptation with the SNAKE female?  It is highly possible but the fact that CLOVER is a card of speed it would be just a passing thing, like a few hours conversation in a bar or on the telephone.
It is difficult to determine any outcome of this situation with just the cards I have shown but what lead up to this situation can be estimated.
This LADY will talk to the GENTLEMAN or see him in person within a very short time because these two cards are side by side.  What they will discuss will be the outcome of this previous/current situation.
Here are all the cards in the two columns which the LADY and GENTLEMAN appear in. Looks like there might be a parting of ways (TOWER)  or dissolving of the friendship (DOG) which the LADY is not fully aware (BOOK) of at the time.  Her hopes and wishes (STARS)  surrounding the GENTLEMAN will bring her much disappointment.

Introducing- Simple Why Layout

Today’s topic will be a 2 card reading using the French Cartomancy Lenormand deck. A simple 2 card reading.
I have assigned Spot 1 (33. KEY) to represent the Why Card and Spot 2 (18. DOG) represents the Because Card. This layout is very easy to learn.

 

#33 Key / #18 Dog

There was no question asked.  The 2 cards were selected as a daily draw.

WHY CARD: spot 1

The KEY card suggests there could be some problem during the day. There will be a situation come up which will require some pondering to come up with a possible solution or decision.  The answer to the dilemma can be discovered.  Is there an explanation which should be forthcoming?  The  following card will tell you how the KEY’S energy will be utilized.

BECAUSE CARD: spot 2

The DOG card reveals a person will be involved who appears to have contributed to the problem or is part of the solution. In fact, it would be this person who might be offering a reason for the dilemma in the first place.  The energy of the DOG card is positive and there will be an amicable turn of events during the day even if you started the day out on the wrong foot.

The SIMPLE WHY LAYOUT was designed to offer assistance when a yes or no answer is not the issue.

What do the Lenormand cards reveal?

What do the Lenormand cards reveal?

I am going to briefly interpret the 20 Lenormand cards belonging to a full board (36) reading.

The GENTLEMAN card is the significant other of the female LADY of this reading.  Here we can see that he may be keeping secrets BOOK from her regarding a possible health issue TREE. It looks like he may have gotten some news LETTER in the recent past which requires some further investigation or solutions KEY.  I want to read ANCHOR as something which is rooted TREE in his past and which could also involve a female STORK Queen of Hearts friend DOG.

The LADY represents the female getting the reading.  The BOOK card touches both the LADY and GENTLEMAN cards and means there is something hidden from the lady which involves the male. As you can see the dark  CLOUDS are ahead of  her in the immediate future column. The King of Clubs is looking towards the LADY card and I want to read this as an imminent situation coming up.  The RIDER is bringing some news or circumstance into the LADY’s life real soon.  Maybe even within the next few days.  I can’t help but think the GENTLEMAN has a strong association with this.

Is the RIDER bringing news of grief BIRDS and undue hardship CROSS?  Will there be a sudden SCYTHE turn of events from a situation which was not revealed BOOK to the female?

Let’s look at the HEART card next.  This card will reveal the female’s emotional situation.  It looks like there will be a fated event CROSS affecting her emotions HEART which will cause her much unbalance WHIP at the beginning of this circumstance.  Changes STORK are coming which could end up in a huge argument WHIP.  The LILY card hints at a romantic connection which will as a result end up in a decision PATH of which way to go after this episode is brought into the open.

When the BEAR card is near the HEART it does suggest a powerful attraction.  Another way to read BEAR is as a person, an older man.  Many Lenormand card Readers use the HEART card to actually represent the physical heart.  If you look back in the same row you can see the TREE card which does suggest health to a certain degree.  For the most part ANCHOR is positive, however, it can also mean something which will not go away like a disease.

I have a gut feeling the GENTLEMAN has a health issue TREE and the extent of it is not fully known BOOK.

Let’s examine the SCYTHE card next.  We all know this card can be very negative when connected to BIRDS,  CLOUDS and CROSS.  The only way we can read these cards in a positive way is to determine if the abrupt chaotic situation is beneficial in the long run.  Short term pain long term gain.

There is no doubt in my mind the female represented by the LADY is in for quite a disturbing time over the next few weeks or months.

Those are just a few possible predictions.  The cards reveal much more when you criss cross them or read just the rows or columns. Each card is a word of a sentence. When you establish the sentence you have a theme or probable prediction.

Lenormand WHIP near DOG card

Every once in awhile I like to review my own posts from years ago. I revisited the Lenormand WHIP card a few days ago as it kept coming up in close proximity to the DOG card.  I wrote  a post last year using the Mystical Lenormand which can be viewed below and wanted to add a few more thoughts on the card.

The man in the image has a big club and a whip.  The client’s experience is like getting an emotional beating from the news she just received.  You will notice several religious symbols in the background suggesting faith is under scrutiny.  I think this card is portrayed in a rather spooky manner with the bat flying by.  There are many wonderful symbols you can study in this card.  It is a very emotional depiction.  Probably the client feels like someone just dropped a bomb on her.  The Whip card is all about being forced or coerced into a situation.  It suggests being ticked off and ready to fight or argue.

Looking closer at the image I get the sense the person who is represented by the DOG card could suffer from a martyr complex by being loyal to a situation which is emotionally detrimental to them.  Part of this could be from religious beliefs.

When there is self hatred or low self esteem involved the external circumstances will reinforce this.  The expression, “beating oneself up” is rooted in guilt and I think this is a form of self punishment.

WHIP

In the image the male does hold a whip in his left hand but it appears as if he could be whipping himself.

DOG

#18 Dog

DOG- friendship, help, steadiness, dependability, reliable, trust, need, love, loyalty, faithfulness, playful. All those wonderful adjectives.

When the Dog card is surrounded or near good cards you can be sure that there is someone there you can count on.
When the Dog is accompanied by bad cards it suggests one of your immediate entourage will not be there for you in your time of need. In fact, it is a warning to withhold any personal information that can be used against you to tarnish your reputation.

Coupled with:
dog + ship= a friend goes on a trip
ship + dog= pending arrival of a friend
