Been wondering this for a while.
I was introduced to the Lenormand 13 years ago in 2003, as in the "German" (Traditional), and "French"(Non Traditional) at the same time through the GT. I did not know I was learning two systems at the same time.
In 2009 I wanted something different, quicker, lesser cards and to answer any questions, so around 2010/2011 was when I got "The Secrets of the Lenormand" (Steinbach), but before this I did try smaller spreads and what have you with some trial and error. The GT to smaller spreads was no easy feat plus adapting to answering specific questions was a challenge.
Steinbach fine tuned it all really.
However, in nothing I've learnt over all these years have I ever seen, heard, or was told that cards like TREE mean TREE or GARDEN means GARDEN/LAWNS/GRASS etc. Not until recent times in AT actually.
I was listening to an old radio show between "Donnaleigh" and Melissa Hill" and "noticed" it in that talk show where Donnaleigh refers to something she thought quite LITERAL with the DOG and COFFIN.
Hill started learning the Lenormand in 2008 and in 2012 started teaching Donnaleigh which is mentioned in that broadcast.
There is one part in which Hill refers to ANCHOR as "weighted down" and I think Donnaleigh more or less refers to GARDEN as a lawn manicure, gardens etc. She would have only been learning the LENORMAND for 2 months at this point.
Is this where all these LITERAL meanings started?
