Heart : Garden : Anchor : Road : Tree : Tower : Scythe

The querent is torn between staying with something sweet but sure and moving on and letting go of the past. Theres a suggestion the querent has been discussing the issue with people close to her.

Maybe that's why the scythe is there.....to cut the ties???

Was this a general reading, Katie, or one you did for yoursElf?

Mmm!!! I wonder why you say that !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


It wasn't so much a reading, as me dealing out cards, and then interpreting them. It was kinda a practice session.


but on the other hand...... even practising, without much thought, can you deal cards with a message??????

I feel it's relevant to a man with a crook leg!!! LOL. Maybe that scythe is a crutch.

YES! The subconscious takes over and we end up getting answers to questions that we don't even think we posed. Particularly, with these cards, you don't even need to post the question. They hit you in the face.

I couldn't agree more with the above statement, just look at what Kara got in draw 9 or 10 I'm not sure which one, when I drew all those negative cards I wasn't thinking about my situation at all but Kara picked it up like I'd spilled my guts out! Sorry to be so crude!

Last night I chatted to purple_scorp and she brought up a card I drew in the Love Pack thread.... Letting go..... maybe this message wasn't exactly how I saw it at the time.

so I went off and drew another card, to see what the message would be if I thought along the same lines as she (man with the crook leg!!!)

and lo! I got Letting go...... now there are 84 cards in that deck.... what are the chances of that!

I think this is one of the differences between the Titania and Lenormand. I have noticed a few recently. In Lenormand the Scythe is only thought of as a good card if others around it influence it. Mostly it is considered a card of danger or warning.
*************************************************

Hi everybody,
In my experience, with Lenormand cards the card is neutral and it does matter where the tip is pointing. Where ever the tip is pointing, there lies danger. The card also stands for suddenly, unexpected, aggressive. Depending on the surrounding cards, the meaning may take on a positive or negative meaning. Some surprises are nice, like a birthday party you did not know was planned for you, or a car accident, broken leg, etc., which we would rather not encounter. It all depends on the cards around the scythe.

I already see that we see the Lenormand cards differently than I know them, but this will make for an interesting learning experience. Which card would you interpret as the work card? For me, it would be the anchor. Some other people I have met named the tower.

Purple-scorp - thank you for the welcome.

Here the meanings, as I know them for the scythe:
Card scythe points at: Warning, danger of, from ...
Card on the other side: Suddenly, unexpectedly ... - also impatience
Card representing a person, in combination with Scythe: danger of accident, injury

In Titania's deck, the work card is the Lily. Also, sometimes the garden - and sometimes the Fish (as it is related to money/prosperity).

But, the Lily can also mean an illness, and the garden can also be an invitation (or a social out-in-the-open meeting). Like Le Normand, it depends on what other cards surround these cards.
