My aim here is to present you with a simple, accessible method that will serve as the foundation for all other techniques for drawing cards with Miss Lenormand's Little Game. There's no need to get lost in complicated explanations or technical terms: we get straight to the point, with clarity and simplicity.
With this approach, you'll quickly be able to draw the cards and interpret their messages, while familiarizing yourself with the fundamental principles of cartomancy 🙂
This deck contains thirty-six cards, each with its own character and secrets. It invites you to an introspective exploration, where each draw is a new adventure. Indeed, each card in Mlle Lenormand's deck is a little universe to be explored, adorned with symbols as rich in meaning as a master painting.
It's essential to always draw with the deck you're most comfortable with. This comfort will enable you to connect fully with the messages and revelations the cards have to offer.
Each Lenormand card has its own vocabulary, a story to tell, and I've listed them here for your perusal:
