Inspired by Chloe and Siddaleah I've been practicing again with my Lenormand cards
for several days now. And I have to say it hasn't been easy. There has been times the
cards only spoke jibber jabber to me and I felt like throwing them into the trash can.
Could it be possible I'm not cut out
for this? Since I am a stubborn woman (Taurus) I didn't want to be defeated
by 36 pieces of cardboard so I kept practicing.
And gradually
the fog was lifting and the cards started to make sense to me again. It was helpful for me me not to search for generic meanings but to ask a question first. Was it about love,
money or health? But how many questions can you come up with while practicing on your own. So I included my tarot cards in the reading. I
picked a tarot card which would be the topic of my reading and then I drew a line of three lennies about this topic.
The topic
for this reading was the Ten of Swords from the Legacy of the Divine Tarot : How can I let go of all my self
defeating thoughts and move on?
Then I
pulled three cards from the Gilded Reverie Lenormand (both decks are by Ciro Marchetti):
7 Snake +15 Bear + 5 Tree
Biting thoughts
(suspicions and self loathing) can be conquered by confidence and inner
strength which will improve your physical (health) and mental (wisdom) well being.
I liked how the bear was swimming away from the snake and towards the tree; moving on from one situation to another.
Building confidence is certainly helpful for me while practicing with these cards. Whining about how I will never, ever be able to read them won't help me to improve my skills.J
Practicing
like this is so much fun and very encouraging for my confidence in reading the Lenormand.
