r/Lenormand

A former Lenormand student of mine, Jette Lilholm from Denmark, just published her first Lenormand deck with illustrations based on the famous poems of Danish poet Hans Christian Andersen called the Madame Lenormand Magic & Fairy Tales deck, illustrations by Danish artist Karin Serup Tavares.

As you can see, this deck is absolutely gorgeous, with lots of jewel tones and plenty of zany illustrations inspired by the poetic beauty of Denmark (shout-out to that Rider!). Each illustration is set in a sort of vignette-style frame, lending to the ease of recognition of each symbol during a reading.

The card stock is nice and firm while being equally supple, and it gets even more flexible with each shuffle. Some standout cards for me personally are 6. The Clouds (seen above), 8. The Coffin (seen above), 35. The Anchor (seen above), and 2. The Clover (seen above), among other, unpictured cards.

This deck is being sold on multiple foreign sites, one in Swedish currency and another in Danish currency, each at different prices when translated to USD, the links to which I am unable to attach due to this post being removed if I do. So, you will have to search it on your own.

Im used to doing relationship readings but due to the context of why the question was asked, Im torn between certain interpretations that could be drawn due to the snake showing up. Idk if this is due to a personal bias because of the subject matter or intuition tbh because i read using a mixture of intuition along with traditional card meanings/techniques. Which is why Im sharing.

So story is:

A few days ago a friend ended up unfortunately seeing a man who committed date rape against her while at work. That in turn triggered a domino effect of her learning he was dating an incredibly young girl who the querent then ended up telling what he did to her. The girl didnt believe the querent (of course) even when shown proof of him having other (multiple) victims in the form of the other victims' own words.

My friend said she knows she did her part in letting the girl know that she is with a predator and that must be the only reason they crossed paths that day because she has never seen that man since the night he date raped her (they never knew eachother, he was a stranger to her at a party) but she's still concerned about the girls safety so she asked about their relationship now that she knows.

To keep my interpretation short:

I'll just say at first I thought the crossroads in the center showed a type of distance/mixed feelings between the man(snake) and girl(dog). I thought at first that he was gonna try to use emotional tactics (heart) to take advantage of the girls hopes (star) for their relationship/to be loved to try to cross that distance between them or the confusion the new information has placed between.

But usually i also take the snake as another woman and now idk if the cards are showing that the girl doesnt know what to believe but thinks the querent is trying to break them up out of jealousy.

Intuitively i just get this sense of her being like a puppy (keen to please, loyal, hopeful) and so desperate for love how a puppy is so... i feel like my read is all over the place and not helpful.

Does anyone think Im being too influenced by the details of the context/subject matter?

for Context We work at the same company but don't interact much. A few days ago, I asked him for something and felt like I was kind of ignored (hes also my crush)

I interpret this as him seeing me as someone who has a certain presence, but it seems to make him feel uncomfortable or bothered. However, the Key is really throwing me off—I'm not sure how to read it in this context.

the bottom two cards are extra cards related to “incense burner“. it seems to me the only way he can go back is in a very horrible way. He is curently in Middle East and had trouble leaving. don’t tell me the only way he can leave is through this way 😭 please help me.

Crossroads, a choice, a path an alternate route…. Met with the cross… sacrifice sadness, loneliness…. The woman looks back at this journey…. Underlying with communication, expression, thought, devotion.. topped with the snake…. Sneaky, slithery, confusing, possibly poisonous…

Thoughts on what this reading could mean in regards to a friend’s marriage who is going through a tough time currently?

Hello! I pulled my cards for this month for love and would like some help interpreting. I pulled anima (me), anchor, birds, scythe, and bouquet. I read them like a sentence. I’m a little confused about the anchor, but I thought it could go: woman has an established conversation or series of back and forths with someone (communication) until it gets cut off, leading to…..an offer? The scythe cuts what it comes after and affects the card after it. So….the anxiety or stressful communication gets cut quickly and leads to happiness or satisfaction? Or maybe the scythe cuts the bouquet away. What do you think? Good or bad

Hi. I have a job but I have been constantly applying for new ones because I desperately need something better. I pulled five cards and read them in a progressive line with the outcome at the end.

I got: man, tower, ring, house, birds

The first part makes sense….a man from an established company makes an offer/proposes a contract….or commitment. But I struggle with the house card for career readings, and the birds usually mean communication that’s anxious or stressful.

So…a man from an established company proposes an interview, or contract, that feels stable, and the month ends with communication? Or are the birds a bad omen?

Thanks!

Hello, guys.

It's my first time posting, so please let me know if I break any rules.

I'm posting a love spread I've taken recently, and I'd love to have you guys' inputs. I'm still a beginner, so guidance is much needed and appreciated.

The significator is female, and the ring and heart are relatively close to her, but the man is distant, so that confuses me a little. I also read houses, so the key would be in the house of heart - I take that is a sign of a solution to love issues?

Also, please consider that the bear may be a person.

Could you guys give me your perspectives on this spread?

I think he sees me as too stuck and comfortable where I am, and believes I need to open myself up to something new and change my life. The Anchor might represent a stable, solid place, but the Ship indicates that I need a new direction and to head somewhere else; I just didn't quite understand the Man card.

You reach a point where you are too emotional to decipher.

Is he going to dump me?

We’ve had a lot of financial stress, he broke his leg. We got into a discussion about an old app on his phone, it was a dating app. I thought things were okay but it’s been a little quiet on his end and I feel like he’s freezing me out. I’m so confused! All of my other spreads have shown he doesn’t want to break up. I’ve looked at this until I’m blue in the face. Any help would be appreciate, all I’ve done is cry.

I feel like he’s at a decision point about our relationship, he’s overwhelmed with life but he’s still staying, we will cut through the obstacle?

The Man knights the Scythe, which immediately caught my attention. My first thought was that maybe he's the one making a sudden or painful decision. But then I noticed the Scythe's blade is actually pointing into the Mountain, not toward the Woman. Does that change how you'd read it? Would you see it more as cutting through an obstacle than ending the relationship?A few other things I noticed:Heart is in the House of Ways, which feels like the relationship is at a crossroads.

Ring is in the House of Book, so I wondered if it means there are things that are still unknown or unresolved rather than the relationship being over.

Anchor is in the House of the Man, which seems like a stabilizing influence.

The Woman is right next to the Scythe, but Clover is in the House of the Woman. Does that soften the Scythe at all?
I'm getting mixed signals because there are a lot of relationship cards (Heart, Ring, Dog, Anchor), but also some heavy cards like Scythe, Coffin, Tower, and Cross.

Would you read this as him actually deciding to end the relationship, or as a major turning point/change without it necessarily meaning a breakup? I'm especially curious how people who use houses, knighting, and card direction would interpret it.

I am new to this - so I’m sure I’m wrong. I feel like he’s looking ahead at me and a positive transition of love and hope? Given the stork, heart and stars. I probably should have done a more simple spread. I desperately want to learn, not just because of my situation but I would love to be able to do spreads for others.

I stopped talking with this childhood friend bcuz she literally told me to my face that it annoys her that I don't have any problems in my life 😒

We are also neighbors and I can't avoid her forever. I wonder if things can get fixed.

The cards seem to say that it's a deeply rooted irritation towards my success or confidence.

Thank you for your help 🤗 💐

Just getting into Lenormand and was wondering if my interpretations were close to how others might read them.

So I did a spread for a forecast for the month of July and designated cards 1 and 2 as the beginning, 3 as the middle and 4 and 5 as the end of the month.

For cards one and two I got the sun and the lady, so I suppose that means that it'll be a pretty joyful beginning, and i might meet or interact with a woman who plays a significant part in the month. Or perhaps a joyful woman?

Card 3 is the letter so maybe I'll get a lot of writing done or ill hear news of some sort.

Card 4 and 5 are the coffin and trees and I feel like this is telling me there is going to be a loss or death in the family (I sincerely hope not).

Or if i make the cards into a sentence I got: "a cheerful woman brings news of death in the family."

Kind of hoping my interpretation IS off but wondering how others might read it.

Hi all! I’m doing a reading related to someone that has an addiction problem and ended in hospital. Would you read this combo (the rider + the cross + the coffin) as death coming soon? In any other scenario I would read as a phase coming to a end or something similar, but this interpretation does not fit this situation.

I’m pretty confident with my reading but would love to read other opinions as I do not have a fellow cartomancer to chat about it :)
