Thanks Genna! Just some questions tho: if you already have the Complete Lenormand book which I heard can be pretty tough for beginners, would you still recommend getting the Enchanted set so that its booklet can ease you into the lessons of the Complete book? Or are all the stuff in the Enchanted booklet fully covered in the Complete book so that it would be redundant to get it?
When you said she teaches you how to read playing cards in two chapters, were you referring to the playing card inserts in most Lenormand decks, or do you mean that the book teaches you plain divination using separate playing card decks i.e. cartomancy? My apologies if that seems like a weird non sequitur question, but some Tarot books do go off on weird tangents so I just have to ask. And also, would you know which Lenormand system/s Matthews follows?
I also have Rana's book. Do they follow different systems? Do their styles clash? Sorry for having so many questions.
I think the booklet can give some extra spreads and food for thought that is not mentioned in the book, but I think you will do fine with the book without the booklet. So only if you like her cards. The best thing about them are that they are really small. They are also used to illustrate the book togeather with other decks. I think the booklet has been helpful, but not necessairy, and I started reading the book before I read the booklet.
I tells about cartomancy, but I think you need a different book to learn to read with playing card decks alone. The playing card inserts in Lenormand are read differently from ordiniry cartomancy.I should have said inserts in my post, instead of "playing cards".
I have not found that the systems clash. Hope that helps!
