Celtic lenormand - Line of Five

Besides using it for spellwork this gorgeous lenormand deck: The Celtic Lenormand By Chloe McCracken and Will Worthington has already become  my most favorite lenormand reading deck. This deck suprises me time and again with its clear and indepth readings. The additional cards has proven their worth to me on many occasions. Besides reading Lenormand cards sometimes for daily advice, I do like to read the cards mostly for spiritual guidance and personal empowerment. And this deck lends itself for either approach perfectly.

Yesterday I have pulled five cards after I had taken down my healing spell. The question was: “Where do I go from here?”  The middle card is the main focus of the reading and the other four cards will give me additional clarification and advice.

The cards are: Path(22) + Lady(29) + Stars(16) + Dog(18) + Fish(34)

Stars, as the main answer to my question, speaks to me of following my dream, my true North: to follow my Star. Then I will find my inspiration to create again.

Dog + Lady:  A, or a few good female friend(s) will help me along the way or the Lady is the Goddess from my Healing Spell and She will protect me as my loyal guide  on this journey

Path + Fish. These trusted friends/guide will help me chose the road to flowing abundance and spiritual growth;  to feelings of having enough, of being content  and connected  to my intuition

Path +Lady : Lady of the crossroads….She will ask me to choose at some point

Dog + Fish : A wealthy friend????  Or rather somebody who can bring a wealth of experience and wisdom to the table….

I loved doing this reading and again I was very pleased with what this deck had to share with me

My first Square of Nine with the Lenormand about Creativity

Yesterday I've read my first square of nine with the Piatnik Lenormand. This little deck is my main practice deck. I like the pictures and it's classic look and  also because I have two copies of this deck so if I'll ruin it, I still have a spare one left. This little deck is living in my purse so I can practice my combinations where ever I go.

I've seen how Chloe from Inner whispers  has tackled her square and I thought her approach was clear and structured, which is wonderful way for a beginner to learn this spread :

To add something personal to the reading I decided to turn the center card first, in order to determine the topic of the reading: Moon - intuition , creativity. These keywords jumped out to me for this reading. 

Then I turned over the other cards....

First I've read the corners. 

Cross + Key + Heart: 

Open your heart to lighten you burden. The solution to your emotional setback is to be found in your heart.

Cross + Fish + Heart: 

Setbacks are asking for abundant love. An abundant rich spirituality is the solution to your problems

The Action Cross has the following cards:

Bouquet + Moon + Sun: talent and intuition will lead to success

Lily + Moon + Whip : Practice frequently until you  are satisfied  and content. Don’t beat yourself up but be gentle for yourself

I like it how the corners clearly state the problem en the action cross contains a practical advice: it is not only talent you need but also practice, practice, practice.  And not to forget a kind and gentle attitude towards your efforts. It is also good to notice the first card was the burden (Cross) and the last card is love (Heart).
