Lenormand Basics

The Lenormand Cards are a set of 36 cards that pre-date the Tarot, and owe their origins to a combination of Tea Leaf Reading symbols, Playing Cards, and a card-based game called The Game of Hope. The name ‘Lenormand’ is actually the last name of Mme. Lenormand, a popular fortune-teller of 18th Century France, who read for big shots like Empress Josephine (wife of Napoleon), Tsar Alexander I, and several French revolutionaries of the time, including Marat and Robespierre.

The style of reading the Lenormand cards is completely different from the Tarot, and yet, it plays very well with the Tarot. The Lenormand is a very practical, down-to-earth, and to-the-point fortune-telling system, and functions brilliantly as a stand-alone system.

Lenormand Basics: For Strong Lenormand Foundations

The Lenormand Basics Course is designed for people coming in from both Tarot and non-Tarot backgrounds. Whether you are a Tarot Card Reader who wants to learn this new system of cartomancy, or if you are someone who wants to start off directly with the Lenormand -- this is the perfect course for you!

This course is designed to give you a strong foundation with the Lenormand Cards, through 7 Live, Focused Sessions of 2 hours each.

We will study 2 prominent Lenormand Card Decks:

1. Rana George Lenormand Deck
2. Gilded Reverie Lenormand Deck

While you may not want to buy both the decks for our class, it is necessary that you have at least 1 deck from this set. It would be awesome if you could buy both the decks!
