I've read a few recent comments from people on-line who think we're in a newbie-driven "Lenormand bubble" right now, and that it will eventually go bust when everyone loses interest. (They also bemoan the "New Age" spin that's being put on some of the decks, but that's another thread ) I'm not so sure. I've been reading tarot for over 40 years now, in a mostly Crowleyan esoteric way, and upon discovering Lenormand I feel like I've found the "motherlode" of predictive card-reading methods. Must be that its clean. elegant, no-BS directness appeals to my Moon-in-Capricorn literal-mindedness. Not that we can't carry our own personal load of BS over from other systems, of course, but it seems to be the interpretive clarity that draws people to it. I've only just started with it, and I'm already a believer! Thoughts, opinions . . . ?
