The Enchanted Lenormand: line of five – What do I love about reading cards?

For today I have taken a break from the Mary El Tarot. A kind of breathing space you could say. Sometimes when I read with a deck for  a while, it can get too intense and then I like to shift to lenormand or oracle cards. Not that I value those less but they do touch a different part of me and each system addresses a situation in their own unique way.
So for today I’ve picked the Enchanted Lenormand. The first card would be the topic of my question since I didn't have a pressing question to ask.
I've pulled The Diviner.  So the first thing that came to mind was: why does reading cards appeal to me so much; why is this such a passion of me?

The next cards are: Moon, rider, key and coffin:
  • Messages from the unconscious will unlock blocked  thinking patterns
  • Stirring  my dreamscapes will be the key to freedom
  • Creative activities will be the solution for my depression
  • Moon + coffin: numbed emotional life
  • Key +rider; revealing message
So all and all a lot of reasons to keep reading my cards. I like it how these little Lennies can tell me so much about myself and also how they inspire me to think out of the box. Each time a combination of cards can mean something different and you are surprised again and again by their versatility

  1. I escaped the lenormand rage sweeping the world with just two decks :) But I am looking forward to purchasing Chloe's Celtic Lenormand!

    1. I have bought some (too many) classic decks as a soother to help me quit smoking. They were cheaper than tarot decks :)
      The Celtic... Yes I am looking forward to that one too. It will probable (hopefully) be my last deck

    2. Lovely messages, Ellen! I find changing deck, or from Lenormand to tarot and back, is great for kicking me out of a rut. So, maybe the Celtic won't be the last, and that's okay, too ;)

    3. Thanks Chloe!
      This Is why I convince myself from time to time buying decks is okay and not an excessive behavior :D

  2. I like how both the key and the rider seem to be heading toward the Diviner. Cards are definitely a way for me unlock doors I need to see behind and hear messages that will help me on my way! :)

    1. Once I allowed myself to read them intuitively, connect them together, see stories etc the doors opened :)

  3. Yeah!! I've been waiting for a Lenormand post and it came :-)
    I enjoy seeing how you read the cards and combinations. So many blogs/videos are very literal and predictory in nature. Beautiful reading- such clarity and inspiration. Is the Diviner specific to this deck?
    Thanks so much for sharing this!

    1. Hi Monsoon! I like to read the cards this way. They are mirroring me and giving me insight in what is going on inside. You should check out the Lenormand posts from "Inner whispers" She read the cards like this too
      Thank you for your kind words!

  4. Great post. After the mention of the new deck by Chloe, I had to go look. Dang it temptation. Love the images she's produced for these. Not sure I can convince myself that I need another deck. :) But, it should be too hard.

  6. It's a good thing I think to really examine why we read the cards, because sometimes maybe we can loose sight of this, and into ruts.

    I am finding the deeper I can delve into the reasons I read Tarot, the more meaning I find, and can relate to the cards enabling me to apply them to more aspects of my life.

    These are beautiful cards you've posted Ellen.
