Lenormand Cards Discuss a Book: Snake, Lilies, Book, Whip, Scythe, Paths

When I throw cards for my daily draw, I usually just ask for a heads-up on how my day will go. This morning, however, I had an exact question.

There is a book I want to purchase. Yesterday I went online and discovered this particular book would take two to three weeks to ship. I didn’t want to wait that long, so I thought maybe I would check out the local Barnes & Noble and get the book there. As it turned out, schedule conflicts interfered and I never made it to the store. So this morning, I asked the cards if the book I wanted would be available at the bookstore.

I decided to use the Mystical Lenormand deck and I energetically charged 26 Book while shuffling the cards. After finding that card in the deck, I chose the two cards preceding and following it to complete my draw. As usual, I also pulled the base card (bottom card of the deck) for additional information.

Here’s what I got:

7 Snake - 30 Lilies - 26 Book - 11 Whip - 10 Scythe - 22 Paths
7 Snake – 30 Lilies – 26 Book – 11 Whip – 10 Scythe – 22 Paths

The cards described the situation — and the book — perfectly. The reason I asked the question was because I considered the long delivery time (Lilies) had I ordered the book online yesterday as planned problematic (Snake). The Line of 5 went on to show that the book (Book) concerns the termination/ cancellation/ elimination (Scythe) of sex/ sexual (Whip) hormones.

As I considered the cards, I further realized that 7 Snake + 30 Lilies could be indicating an aging problem — likely about females since Snake can indicate an older woman — due to termination/ cancellation/ elimination (Scythe) of sexual (Whip) hormones.

I was amazed at how accurately the Lenormand cards described the book, which is about managing and naturally restoring the loss of female hormones experienced after menopause through the use of topical bioidentical hormone replacement therapy.

22 Paths as the base card suggested that since Barnes & Noble was only a short jaunt from my house, why not take a ride and find out if the book I’m looking for is there?

Seeing 10 Scythe as the last card in the Line of 5 felt confusing. I wasn’t sure if Scythe was indicating a “harvest,” and that yes, the book would be in stock, or if it meant the book had been “cut” from the inventory. I’ll have my answer later today and will update this post.

UPDATE:  My local bookstore did not have the book I want in stock, confirming the Scythe’s traditional (negative) meaning of a cutting or elimination.

All was not lost, however. I was able to put the book on order at the same price I could have gotten it for online, with delivery promised within five to seven days and no shipping costs!

So, as a card giving clarification or additional information, perhaps 22 Paths was also indicating that an alternative route/ direction to getting the book I desired was available.

Lenormand Cards Advice on How an Evening of Mediumship Will Go

Dermyg, a reader of this blog, has scheduled an evening of mediumship this coming Thursday and wants to know how it might go.

Mediumship, clairvoyancy,  divination, and “conversations with the Other Side” are represented by 12 Birds, so I energetically charged that card as I shuffled and asked for information. When the shuffle was complete, I found 12 Birds in the deck and selected the card to its left (3 Ship) and the card to its right (16 Stars).

 

3 Ship - 12 Birds - 16 Stars - 31 Sun
3 Ship – 12 Birds – 16 Stars – 31 Sun

The three cards selected suggest that the evening of mediumship will bring communication/messages (Birds) from afar (Ship). Stars in the third position suggests the evening will go quite well (hopes fulfilled) and/or the information/ communications (Birds) provided from a long distance away (the Other Side?) (Ship) would be “guided from above.” (Stars).

Instead of using the base card (bottom card of the shuffled deck) for further information, I decided to count the numerical values on the three cards. 3 + 12 + 16 = 31 = 31 Sun, which confirms that Dermyg’s evening of mediumship will be a successful (Sun) event and that his messages from beyond will be well received.

Perhaps, if he finds his way back to this site, Dermyg can let us know how the evening went.
