Today’s post will not be a review of the successful kickstarter project Lenormand Solitaire. I will reserve that for a later date. What I will say is that there are two decks. One deck has the 36 cards and one deck has 18 cards. The 18 card deck has 4 partial images and you lay them out while looking for matches. All matches are read upright so you don’t turn the cards around like you would with the Russian Gypsy Fortune Telling Cards by Svetlana Touchkoff. Informative post on this deck —-> Russian Gypsy F T cards.
Also, here’s a link to a FB vid on the Lenormand Solitaire —–>Deluxe Card Ltd.
This reading was taken from my database. I replaced the original cards with the Lenormand Solitaire so you can see the cards if you haven’t yet. I thought it would be fun to look at the 5-card layout in a couple of different ways. As many of you know I was originally trained in traditional meanings via translated meanings. Over the years I have explored reversals, different aspects of the cards and considered progressed/modern day meanings, Court card, etc.
For the most part I am an intuitive reader. We all have intuition but some good knowledge of the cards, plenty of experience you gain skill which heightens your intuition. I usually read left to right, read directions and I read the images. Many of you use the middle card as a focus card or theme. I do that sometimes as well. I do not get caught up in being rigid in my approach to layouts and how to read the cards. I trust my intuition to guide me to whatever needs to be studied.
If you are just learning how to read the Lenormand I hope you find today’s post helpful. For those of you that are experienced you may learn something as well. 🙂 I know I love to learn something new about any of my decks.
BTW, at the time of writing this post I still do not have feedback on the last post. Ok, let us begin. In case, you cannot make out the names on the cards they are:
-
31 Sun – opening card
-
10 Scythe –
-
6 Clouds – theme in the alternate way of reading the 5-card layout
-
24 Heart –
-
28 Gentleman – closing card
