I was not sure whether to put this in the Lenormand or Tarot forum, sorry if the choice is wrong.
Anyhow, combining Tarot + Oracle or Tarot + Lenormand decks has been a long topic here, I would just like to share a technique that I use and see if it resonates with anyone.
I view Lenny and Tarot very differently, and I have written a lot about that topic. Tarot goes deeper and offers a lot of liberty, whereas Lenny is very to-the-point and offers concise and clear answers.
What I love to do is to take on someone with a very specific, clear, mundane question, reveal a short answer, and then offer to explore that further.
Example: I just had a querent on a chatroom during an offer of free readings who asked: "am I going to be able to build a cottage for myself?" The story is quite simple - she lives in a beautiful farmhouse with her family, but has a dream to get a small cottage just for herself, where she can explore and exercise all kinds of spiritual activities.
We did a Lenny reading (Sun-Mountain-Clover), which basically indicates a positive outcome, but there is an obstacle to be overcome.
And THEN we did a Tarot reading to explore what the Mountain (obstacle) actually is. So whereas the main emphasis of the reading is indeed Tarot, I find that this is a wonderful way to zoom in on what the question REALLY is. I mean, she wouldn't ask "will I get my dream cottage" if she knew it was coming - there must be something blocking it, and it is a wonderful way to get to the bottom of it.
I use it in all kinds of topics (e.g Lenny reading - "How will my job interview go?" followed by a Tarot "what can I do to make my job search more succesful" etc)
Does anyone else use a similar symbiosis?
