What are Lenormand cards and how to guess on them? Let's learn a little about the history of their origin and several ways of layout.

History of cards

Fortune telling on Lenormand cards is an interesting activity, but what do they actually represent? In fact, this is nothing more than the well-known Tarot cards. They got their name thanks to the famous sorceress Maria Anna Adelaide Lenormand, who lived in France in the 16th century. In fact, the sorceress used ordinary cards, but the interpretation was made on the basis of the rules of Eteyla's best friend. However, Lenormand never created the very cards that now bear her name. They appeared after her death. What's the matter? The idea of Lenormand was warmly supported by the famous Flemish artist and fortuneteller Erna Drusbeke, who drew the now famous Tarot cards, giving them a name in honor of the Frenchwoman. Fortune telling on Lenormand cards is done using 36 cards with symbolic drawings depicted on them. Over time, the Tarot, of course, has undergone changes, their last reconstruction was at the end of the last century, and now there are thousands of all kinds of images, but the interpretations remain the same. We are offering to youseveral options for divination on Lenormand cards, the layouts are given below.

"Four cards" and "Cross"

The "Four Cards" layout is used when they want to get an answer to a question. This is one of the simplest layouts, in which three cards are placed in a row, and the fourth is placed below the middle one. The interpretation takes place taking into account the neighboring card.

The "Cross" layout not only helps to get an answer to a question, but also to find a way to solve a problem. The deck is shuffled, and then, without looking, four Tarots are pulled out, laying out a cross from them. The fifth is placed in the middle at the very beginning. If they are guessing for a woman, this is the “Lady” card, if for a man - “Cavalier”. The upper card of the cross indicates the past, the card on the left is the possibility of solving the problem, the card on the right is plans, and the lower one is the result to be expected by implementing the plans and using the prompted opportunities.

Basic rules

Fortune telling on Lenormand cards, despite its simplicity, requires compliance with certain rules. Firstly, cards do not like other people's hands, which means that the fortuneteller should have her own deck, which should not be passed on to anyone. And, secondly, when interpreting, one should very clearly pay attention not only to the location of the cards, but also to their proximity. It is the card that lies nearby, as well as its position (inverted or not) that will give the most truthful answer. You should also not neglect the position of the personal card, which is the main one in divination. It is from her location that the outcome depends.
