Card Reading 101, Lenormand Cards

Lenormand Daily Draw: Child, Bear, Storks, Birds

2 Comments

Last week my older daughter asked me to babysit Grandson #2 on Thursday of this week (yesterday). By Wednesday, I still hadn’t heard from her, so I wondered if perhaps she had changed her mind. I decided to throw some cards to find out.

Prior to shuffling, I mentally charged 13 Child to represent my grandson, so whatever card I pulled would be read as if it had landed in the House of 13 Child and the meanings would be combined.

I pulled the following cards:

 

15 Bear - 17 Storks - 12 Birds
15 Bear – 17 Storks – 12 Birds

Mlle. Lenormand Jeu de destin No. 194115 (c) 1986 Piatnik

 

In the context of the question, “Will I have to babysit tomorrow?”, 15 Bear shows a maternal figure (me!), literally “sitting” on a child. In other words, 15 Bear in the House of 13 Child is a babysitter.

Storks bring babies and Birds are communications, texts and phone calls. The cards suggested I’d get a text or phone call (Birds) from my daughter informing me she’d be bringing my grandson over (Storks) for our babysitting date (Bear in the House of 13 Child).

 

What Actually Happened:

Wednesday evening my daughter sent me a text (Birds) reminding me of my babysitting commitment (Bear in the House of 13 Child), and alerting me that she’d be dropping my grandson off (Storks) the following morning around 9:00 a.m. All went as planned and I spent a delightful morning coloring, chatting, eating, and watching Nick Jr. with the little guy, as the Lenormand cards had suggested.

Lenormand Cards Daily Draw: Rider, Letter, Moon, Storks, Anchor, Birds

When I pull cards for a daily draw, I usually ask to be shown something that will happen that day, or something I need to know.

Yesterday morning, I pulled the following cards:

 

1 Rider - 27 Letter - 32 Moon - 17 Storks - 35 Anchor - 12 Birds
1 Rider – 27 Letter – 32 Moon – 17 Storks – 35 Anchor – 12 Birds

Mystical Lenormand (c) 2005, 2007 – AGM-Muller

 

The Lenormand cards suggested I’d get an update or feedback (Rider) concerning some type of documentation (Letter) resulting in accolades (Moon), positive recognition (Moon + Storks) and/or successful completion (Anchor) of a project.

12 Birds as the clarification or additional information, in combination with 27 Letter and 32 Moon, brought to mind “advertising” or “promotional” documentation, which instantly alerted me that I might receive news (Rider) concerning a PowerPoint presentation I’d recently created for a former colleague.

 

What Actually Happened:

The cards manifested quickly. About three hours after the draw, I received feedback (Rider) via an email (Letter) regarding the PowerPoint presentation (Letter + Moon + Birds) I’d prepared. The feedback recognized (Moon) the improvements (Storks) I’d made to my former colleague’s original concept and he complimented me on a job well done!

Once again, my cards provided an accurate “heads-up” on what to expect as the day unfolded.

Lenormand Daily Draw: Coffin, Cross, Storks

We each have our crosses to bear. Mine include frequent morning headaches which I rate in my daily journal on a scale of 1 (not so much) to 5 (just shoot me now).

This morning I got hit with a 4.

The headache, which had started around 4:00 a.m., was so painful I almost didn’t pull cards (the key word being ‘almost’). The ibuprofen I’d taken (chugged down with the requisite cup of black coffee) hadn’t made a dent. How I even  managed to shuffle the deck can only be explained by sheer force of habit.

Here’s what I drew:

8 Coffin 36 Cross 17 Storks
8 Coffin – 36 Cross – 17 Stork

Mlle. Lenormand Jeu de destin No. 194115 (c) 1986 Piatnik

 

The first two cards were appropriately literal. COFFIN can indicate a headache and COFFIN + CROSS certainly can suggest a headache of monumental proportions. The third card, STORK, was hopeful, indicating relief, as this card often indicates changes, usually for the better.

I wound up going back to bed for a couple hours, and by the time I got back up, thankfully, the headache had dissipated, allowing me to continue on with my day.

In retrospect, I’m glad the daily draw hadn’t been more complicated. My head was hurting way too much to bother trying to figure out much more information than these three cards provided.
