gregory replied to Nemia's topic in Tarot DecksI DO so agree with you. Also with whoever already said (I'm lazy) decks that pack in too many things from other traditions. There's enough in tarot itself. A deck that prides itself on being "packed with elemental, Hebraic, astrological, Christian and alchemical symbols" - well, I'll collect it, but I won't be using it ! -
WizardintheWoods posted a topic in LenormandHello All, I am doing a rare post for me, a general question on the Lenormand System. I will explain a bit further. My go to system is Lenormand. I am fairly well versed on this subject but will always consider myself a student - Lenormand always teaches me something. An example of this was a daily I performed during last week. #7 Snake, #11 Rod/Whip, and #10 Scythe. Not pretty but it is a daily so I wasn’t much worried. #7 confused me as it was a stay-at-home day for me just doing chores and my other hobby. That is when I learned my other hobby was being represented by #7. Long story short, after fighting and reworking and finally ripping the work back to where it could start fresh. Yes, my other passion hobby is knitting. The reading made perfect sense. I enjoy challenging myself to always learn more about the Lenormand System and daily draws are a means for me to do that. Between having to “dial back” the meanings and then answer what is a type of general question to me, it often provides me with some learning. So here is my question; what puzzles you the most with this system ? Let me say timing is tough for many so let’s avoid that answer. I am not asking this to respond and answer your question - in fact I won’t be. I am asking so that I and others can see that there are challenges for all of us and get an idea of what they are. I am also hoping this will highlight areas that I have not given thought to and do need to learn more of. Perhaps the same will happen for you. To give you an example here is my answer “ I sometimes struggle to decide if a card that can represent a person is in fact a person or not.” If at all possible and you have more than one card, technique or spread that puzzles you, try not to duplicate what someone’s already said. I have great hopes that this will prove helpful to more than just myself. Thank you in advance to All who participate in my learning process !
