The mind maps is a great idea. I’m so used to reading Tarot, I was worried learning the Lenormand would be difficult. But you’re making this so much easier and intuitive. And reminding ourselves that almost every divination tool encourages us to trust our intuition. I’d imagine my associations with certain symbols would vary slightly from person to person but it sounds like it might even be okay if my interpretation slightly differs. So long as I’m consistent with my own meanings.
I log on to UA-cam and I immediately happen to come across this video. I literally was in the middle of setting up a small workspace to begin memorizing the definition of each card. Message received, Spirit.
That's amazing how you described the Lenormand cards you struggled with (bear, lilies, tower, cross), since those were four that gave me trouble too. For the cross, I broke away from the common interpretation of what other Lenormand readers use (but I'm new, so maybe this is unwise to do). Basically, for myself, I feel that the cross represents spirituality first, and burdens only secondarily. Burdens might be a result of one's self-growth and improvement, so I think it's fine to think of the cross as implying struggles ahead. I might even phrase the cross as implying "burdens that better us." But I recoil against the interpretation that the cross is "bad," and that we are supposed to breathe a sign of relief when the cross is miles away on the other side of the tableau from the significator. That is so counterintuitive to me, and I highly doubt this was the symbol's original intent. Does any of this make sense?
My primary method thus far has been using the Bluebird Lenormand and doing practice throws with two and three cards. The poems on the Bluebird cards mean that you don't have to even look in the little book that comes with the deck.
I’ve gotten better at adapting the card meanings thanks to the practice I’ve had from the Facebook groups I’m a part of, but I still rely on memorization of lists within my personal card studies. I’m working on breaking this bad habit, by limiting myself to 2 new keywords per card for different correspondences like timing or relationship. I’ve realized that my biggest priority should be on learning the “ grammar” and practicing reading techniques.
Love this as I have problems with interpreting lilies, thank you for your explanation on them it has helped with my putting my interpretation of them xx
Your videos have been so helpful to me! One question I have: what types of questions do you ask lenormand in comparison to other card decks? You might already have a video and I might be missing it!
Hi Lauryn! Any question will work with Lenormand. In general, it's not the deck or your divination tool that limits the kinds of questions we can ask - it's our ethic. Here is a blog post about this: www.lenormandreader.com/blog/5-great-questions-to-ask-your-lenormand-deck
Hi :) WHen you say "ask a bunch of questions" when practising, do you meen make up questions or ask other people? Problem is I dont have lots of ppl around me that would be intrested in being read for. I would have to do it on my own. But can the reading really be correct if its a made up question? I dont think I have that many question that I really want to know if I have to use "real" questions. Im so glad I found your channel. Its very diffrent and I like this "teacher" feeling im getting. No fuss, just pure and simple...Love it!!
I understand your point about making up questions, and I don't really advise it, although it can be totally fine. You'll have to get a little creative with questions, but you can also daily readings and see how your cards play out throughout the day. Although open-ended readings (like daily, weekly, etc., what's ahead for me type of questions) are trickier to interpret because there is no theme to guide their interpretation, they will still help you practice and expand your Lenormand vocabulary.

I am new to learning Lenormand. I was surprised to read the Crucifix had a negative meaning. I look at the Crucifix as the total opposite. I’m a bit confused by this.
Hi Barb. Thanks for bringing this up. The Cross can be tricky because different people associate different things with it like our friends mention in here. The key is to go with the meaning that best resonates with you, while also being flexible so you can make sense of the card for different questions and in different combinations with other cards.
My biggest regret when first learning lenormand: looking up meanings online before I tried to come up with my own keywords and tryibg to remember those preset meanings 🥲

How do I know that cheating is going on and if their love partner will come back to them?Hope to hear from you. Tthank you.
Do the Lenormand decks have the death card as the gypsy deck has? Can you take it out when you do a reading?

as the what deck has

The cross card can represent a burden as in a "cross to bear"
I have no idea about Lenormand but to me Crosses have always symbolised sacrifice.
Hi Barb. Thanks for bringing this up. The Cross can be tricky because different people associate different things with it like our friends mention in here.
