Now for the Clover info, I have a question:



I had not seen that side of the clover Could you please explain a bit more? Is it representing creativity because it is linked to #2 or because a "clover" could mean "creativity" besides the traditional "good luck charm"?

Thanks to help us with that

Forgot to answer this...! Sponteneous luck, sponteneous thought, sponteneous musings, revelations, expression. Trying to keep it simple... So hopefully that answers.

I do very much want to learn classical style Lenormand and not someone's idiosyncratic version of it. This is why I have just ordered Blue Owl to use as my study deck. It seemed a good choice, and was only £3.

I personally would like a brief explanation of exactly how Lenormand cards relate to playing cards. Did Madam Lenormand use playing cards herself, and then the oracle developed after? Is there a thread where I can read a simple history of Lenormand oracle?

The Blue Owl is a beautiful deck!

Yes, Mmle Lenormand used playing cards, 36 deck, kind of the Tarock deck, she mentions "Nine of Spades" for example in her memoirs. Unfortunately, she didn't leave us more meanings and all. But we know she also used astroligy, coffee and crystal ball and God knows what else. But the cards were playing cards assigned particular meanings by herself.

Learning classical Lenormand is easy, actually. Go to the free sources here, get basic meanings from www.serenapowers.com and www.lenormand.eu and from then on read! Lots of reading, join our monthly threads, don't be afraid of the GT as it's a great way to explore the combos and it will happen. A single card means little in Lenormand no matter how long you meditate on it. When it meets another card is what matters. And this is learned in spreads and readings.

Thank you for your help, Lady Zelda, but I think I will leave this school for now and pursue learning Lenormand in another way. Blessings on your endeavor.

You're quite welcome Carla
Sorry to see you leave, thanks nonetheless for giving it a try! And thank you for your blessings...

If any of you who don't feel this class is what they need right now, ever wants to stop by later on...I want you to rest assured that "Our Classroom door" remains open and you will always be welcome!

for example, the Ace of Hearts (Man Card in Lenormand) in Cartomancy represents the Home. Meanwhile, in Lenormand, the house (home) card is set up with the King of Hearts. Cartomancy's death/karmic transformation card is the Ace of Spades (the Lady in Lenormand), but Lenormand has the Coffin and inset is the 9 of diamonds...

Ah, but it seems your cartomancy and the one I learned are different. LOL The Ace of Cups in many parts of Europe is The Love and respectively The Lover. Of course, the Man here is given this role because at the times we are talking about it was the man who was the good guy. Which is a perfect explanation why the Lady in Lenormand is the Ace of Spades - the misfortune, the problem, the one that ruins the idylle. We talk about Adam and Eve here and this is part of cartomancy where I come from (and where I lived, France included).

Same with the King of Cups whose most popular meanings are the patriarch, the parent, the home builder/maker/provider, the one you can rely on. Hence the House in Lenormand.

Lenormand is not far from palying cards meanings as I know them.

Would you clarify - do you read this as additional layer of meaning in The Clover and in its relationship with other cards in the layout, or do you read this information separately and only in relation to the other playing card meanings on the other cards?
