Fortune telling Lenormand combination of cards. The meaning of Lenormand cards

Lenormand, description of symbolism, brief meaning of the cards.

In this article I will briefly describe what the Lenormand card system is, I will describe the meaning of the symbolism of each card, from the point of view of its meaning in fortune telling and from the position of understanding these symbols in Western European cultural traditions, and I will also give brief meanings for each card in the form keywords for it.

Oracle Lenormand, its features and a brief history.

The Small Oracle of Lenormand is named after the famous French fortune teller Marie Anne-Adelaide Lenormand, who, according to legend, studied with Eteilla, although it is not known for certain whether she personally knew him; it is possible that she studied only from his written works and books. Marie Lenormand adopted a lot from Etteilla's predictive system. The peculiarity of her work was that she used simple playing cards, but gave them a completely different meaning, which had little correlation with the classically accepted interpretations for playing cards, and Anna-Adelaide also used Blanks (questioning cards) and combined the cards with each other. It is not known whether there were actually any records left with the meanings of the cards that Maria Lenormand used, but some of her followers or admirers tried to reconstruct the predictive system of Maria Lenormand, providing simple playing cards with a capacious symbol-picture on each.

That is, specifically from Mrs. Lenormand, during the reconstruction, the very method of working with playing cards was adopted, but to improve memorization and simplify interpretation, picture symbols were added, which are very easy to understand, without even having a description at hand, and just as easy to remember. Although, in many modern publications, they write that the reconstruction of Erna Drusbeke in 1987 is considered the most successful, I want to note that even before her, such popular decks as the “Blue Owl” were created, published since 1920, to the present The moment is considered classic, and Lenormand from “Piatnik”, which were published around the 40s of the 20th century.

A deck of 36 playing cards, equipped with drawings and a system for working with it turned out to be very successful, informative and are used by many predictors today. Although there is a stereotype that Lenormand is created only for everyday issues, in fact this is far from the case; this deck allows you to consider more global, deeper issues than just a series of events. In fact, it all depends on the fortuneteller who works with the deck.

Summing up this chapter, we can highlight that the features of the Lenormand system are that each card has a picture symbol that is understandable to any European person. If you look at the Lenormand oracle cards without knowing their meanings, you can understand what they roughly mean; the symbols on these cards speak for themselves. But in layouts, it is not just the symbol and its interpretation that is important, but its meaning that appears under the influence of other cards. In other words, the meaning of each card depends on which card is next to it. In addition, in Lenormand it is not customary to use inverted meanings, but it is customary to use blank cards that symbolize the questioner; in many layouts, the interpretation is guided by these cards. In large layouts, the cards are interpreted relative to the blank cards. But the most important characteristic of Lenormand cards is that their simple and understandable symbols allow you to answer any questions and greatly develop the intuition of the predictor who works with them.

Name Mademoiselle Marie Lenormand- the legendary soothsayer and fortune-teller, the lame French Sibyl - is probably known to everyone today, but her gift and supernatural ability to see the future will forever remain the greatest mystery for everyone. Today, only one thing is known - Maria Lenormand did not have any special fortune-telling system: she told fortunes using various objects, colors, smells; used numerology, palmistry, and crystal balls for predictions. But most often she turned to cards, reading them in a way known only to her, relying on all her extraordinary abilities.

For her fortune-telling and prophecies, Maria Lenormand used the most ordinary playing cards, and only she had her own interpretation of them - unique and original, which, unfortunately, after the death of Black Maria was not preserved for posterity. The followers of the great fortune teller have repeatedly tried to restore this system of interpretation. The most successful reconstruction of Marie Lenormand's system was the deck of cards of the Flemish fortune teller Erna Drusbeke, who provided 36 cards of an ordinary French playing deck with symbolic drawings, the interpretation of which is not difficult.

In addition to the traditional one (ace, nine, ten, etc.), these cards also have their own special numbering, which allows the fortuneteller to find his own numerological relationships; they reflect a picture of the world characteristic of the era in which the French Sibyl lived. "Oracle Lenormand" - the most famous and most common cards for. When using them, you should remember: as in working with other fortune-telling symbols, the greatest importance here is precisely the way of interpreting the layout - the meaning of the cards drawn in fortune-telling gives the fortuneteller only a hint, indicates the path or one of the paths along which he can move, and the person must do all the rest of the work himself. Only in this case will the Lenormand Oracle clarify the mysteries of the past and open the curtains of the future in the same way as the cards that once lay on the table of the greatest fortune teller from Paris would have done.

For example, Napoleon, Alexander I, Honore de Balzac, King Louis Philippe, composer Gioachino Rossini. Lenormand cards are fortune-telling cards and many people mistakenly call them Tarot cards. This deck differs from Tarot cards in that they do not have major arcana. Information on Maria Lenormand's fortune-telling system was not preserved after her death. It is believed that she read the cards in a special way known only to her.

There are two main decks that bear her name. The first is called astro-mythological, the second - gypsy. Maria Lenormand's Gypsy deck consists of 36 cards. For this reason, it can be replaced with a deck of playing cards, which makes fortune telling accessible to anyone.

We take the deck and from left to right we lay out the cards face down in rows of 8 cards. The last row will consist of 4 cards.

Among the cards laid out, you need to find two main ones: the man is the Ace of Hearts, the woman is the Ace of Spades. They represent the fortuneteller and his partner (husband, loved one).

All cards must be removed, leaving only the key cards and the cards that surround them on four sides. After this, you can watch the interpretation of the cards of Maria Lenormand.

Each card from Madame Lenormand's oracle contains 2 images, in the Big Lenormand deck there are 6 of them, this is a very complex deck that requires knowledge in several related areas, for example, astrology, numerology, geomancy, the language of flowers Selam, as well as knowledge of the mythology of Ancient Greece. In the Small Deck there are two images: the main picture, which is interpreted intuitively easily and is close in its meaning to the dream book, as well as a playing card - it is usually located on the side or top in the center - this part of the card is more difficult to interpret and for beginners it is recommended to guess, focusing on the main symbol. Later, with accumulated experience, you will be able to interpret the meanings of gypsy cards.

Traditionally, Lenormand cards are interpreted in an upright position, because Each card has several meanings at once, for example, the Child card can be a signifier of a child, indicate something new, excessive gullibility and naivety, inexperience, the birth of a child.

There are also bad-good-neutral cards in the deck, in addition, the cards are read in a special way, we will talk about this in more detail later: in pairs and triads, which also greatly expands the meaning of one card and does not require their inverted position. Depending on the Querent's question, each card can represent the person himself, some action, emotion, object or way of life. You can easily determine each specific meaning in a separate case when you study the basic meanings of the Lenormand cards. It is the key words that will help you understand the essence of the layout in relation to the question posed.

For example, the Garden card itself means public fame or collective initiative, and the Child means simplicity. The combination of the Garden and Child cards means: some social initiative will prevail due to its simplicity. This is not the same as Child and Garden, because if 2 cards fell together, then the second card describes the first, it characterizes the first card, its value becomes auxiliary to the main value. The location of the Lenormand cards in the layout greatly influences their interpretation. The Horseman and the Fox are false information or a cunning courier; and the Fox and the Horseman are a talkative deceiver, talking with his teeth, an agile criminal. The card that comes out first influences the next card, its meaning is secondary and more as an adjective or definition. The next additional map expands on this story, but also within the framework of the first map!
