Lessons in Lenormand: The House (4)

Welcome home, dear readers!

Today we are dealing with a wonderful card. It is the "House", the 4th card within the Lenormand deck (or at least the "small game" of the Lenormand, which consists of 36 cards).

Card number 4: The House

The House symbolises the physical home where you live. If placed in a favourable position, it can give further information about what this home feels like to you, but also everybody around you. For example, the Lilies (30) is a card that stands for harmony and family. Ergo, the house is full of harmony. Sure, smaller conflicts can occur (especially when paired with the Whips (11), or the Birds (12)), but still if the Lilies are closeby, the overall harmonic home for you is represented here.

If paired with "unfavourable" cards, even within the combination above (House + Lilies), there may be something that interferes with the harmony at home. Unfavourable cards might be the Mice (23), the Scythe (10), or maybe the Tower (19; in case it symbolises lawsuits concerning the house). HOWEVER, especially the latter pairing can also mean a skyscraper, literally, or, more generally speaking, a tall house with multiple people living in single appartments.

When paired with the Sun (31), it could symbolise either a house in a sunny region, or big luck concerning a house. Or even both. If combined with the Mountain (21), it could mean either a home in a region with lots of hills and/or mountains, or it could stand for the house being blocked by something. If you feel the latter could be the case, look at the cards surrounding the Mountain, of course.

Always also pay attention to the question you asked your deck. If you didn't ask about a house, and you see the e. g. the Mountain and the House paired up, it will likely have another symbolism than if you asked about a specific situation involving your current or future home. Same goes with the Tower, by the way. If you could not imagine living in a tall house, but it is possible that trouble concerning your home could arise, then it likely doesn't take on the symbolism of the "skyscraper". If your question was more focused on career, for example, the House, Tower, and Anchor (and Fish, too, likely) can symbolise working from home. The Tower then would be interpreted as being "alone" (Isolation in the broadest sense of the word is one of the Tower's main themes). Think remote work, for example.

That's all for today. Take a deep breath. You got this.

Should you start with Lenormand cards or tarot cards?

Hello again~! As you may have guessed already by reading the title, we are talking about which sort of card deck you should start with, based on the comparison of tarot vs. Lenormand. From my own experience, it depends on what types of information you want to "draw" from your readings, but also on what kind of deck "asks you to be used" for said reading. There were times when I focused solely on one medium to get information from. I found that, while tarot in the beginning was easier for my intuition to take the steering wheel, much information on how to read Lenormand online and in books focuses on learning the single meanings of the cards, and how each combination of cards could be interpreted. However, intuition plays a huge role in both processes, no matter what you do. A Lenormand card spread (Grand Tableau), using the Blaue Eule Lenormand deck. (Sorry for the flashlight I used :\...)

What, who, where, why?

On my journey to where and who I am today, I unfortunately came across a lot of half-truths, if not downright urban legends and lies concerning how to read (tarot, lenormand, oracle) cards, how to interpret birth horoscopes, and various other spiritual practices. Are you allowed to read for yourself? Are you not allowed to purchase e. g. a tarot deck calling to you, and wait until it is gifted to you instead? How to shuffle the cards correctly? Should you read reversals? With astrology, are you mostly your sun sign? Or your rising and moon sign? Is there more to your personality than just the components I mentioned before? Are certain zodiac signs not trustworthy, or cold-hearted? I think you get the gist of what I am trying to say here. In this blog, I will be teaching you what I have learned on my 30+ years journey through the world of spirituality, so hi! My name is Marina, and if one word could be used to describe me (There are more, of course!), it would be "curious". No...

Lessons in Lenormand: The Rider (1)

Bild
Hello my dears! This is supposed to be a bit of a deep dive into the Lenormand card no. 1 called "The Rider". Card number 1: The Rider The Rider can symbolise quite a lot of things, but mostly it stands for news reaching the querent very soon. The image usually shows a young man riding on the back of a horse, oftentimes in a reckless way, so you can surely imagine how fast the news could reach the querent. Most of the time it is positive news, but please also pay attention to the surrounding cards, if there are any in your reading. If this card stands on its own, for example, if you drew it as a single card, I would personally urge you to think about what kind of news are you expecting. Do you expect them to come soon? Would these be good or bad news in general? Also: How does the card in general make you feel? Mostly it IS positive news, though. Sometimes, though, the Rider can also stand for a person, oftentimes a young man (or somebody identifying as such), some kind of a ...
