DAILY RESIDUE: A Cartomancy Journal
Lenormand Timing: Gentleman Incoming!
Posted on Thursday, March 19, 2009 at 10:03 pm
Deck: Blue Owl - Lenormand
While perusing Sylvie’s book yesterday, I couldn’t resist throwing the classic layout she mentioned that uses the entire deck (it’s the first spread she mentioned!). Needless to say, that’s totally over my head at this point, and I won’t bother posting it here because trying to decipher all that would make me explode I’m sure. I merely took note of some main cards and jotted the lay down in my journal for reference. A couple of things did catch my eye though, so I decided to use this opportunity to try out timing with the Lenormand regarding a mystery man, especially since a recent Tarot reading I did seems to point to similar things as well.
I’m using 28 Gentleman as my focus card with an emphasis on when this person would come into play.
The cards are 9 Bouquet + 17 Storks + 34 Fish + 28 Man + 18 Dog + 17 Whip + 2 Clover

Lenormand Reading: Stomach Problems
Posted on Wednesday, March 18, 2009 at 12:26 am
Deck: Blue Owl - Lenormand
Spread: Sylvie's No-Layout
I have a general policy on reading health matters, so this is a bit unusual for me. The following reading is done mainly for practice and a general insight, plus a clear understanding that a visit to the doctor’s is needed.
My sister’s been having a serious case of diarrhea ever since she came home from work today. Nothing is staying in, including water, but she refuses to see the doctor and wants to wait the night out first even though she seems to be spending a majority of it in the bathroom. She has no idea what the problem might be except for the fact that her stomach had been hurting all day, so I decided to draw a few cards for some info in the meantime.
I’m using Sylvie Steinbach’s No-Layout style of reading, except instead of fanning, I’m just flipping from the top after cutting the deck. I chose 05 The Tree for my focus card.
The cards are 08 Coffin + 04 House + 05 Tree + 01 Rider + 07 Snake

Lenormand Reading: Me At This Time
Posted on Tuesday, March 17, 2009 at 04:31 pm
Deck: Blue Owl - Lenormand
Spread: Sylvie's No-Layout
I spent a bit of time reading Sylvie’s Secrets of the Lenormand Oracle last night and decided to give her No-Layout style of reading a try. I should probably be starting out with daily draws or something, but I usually like to play with a new deck a little before I start handling them every day- like warming up, I suppose. :)
Anyhow, I thought I’d do a general-ish reading about me at this point in time… an outlook on what’s surrounding me and can be expected to come up soon. The focus card is the Lady, to represent myself:
The cards are 17 Storks + 26 Book + 29 Lady + 10 Scythe + 12 Birds

Intro Reading: My Lenormand Journey
Posted on Monday, March 16, 2009 at 11:40 pm
Deck: Blue Owl - Lenormand
Spread: General 3-Card Draw
Whenever I get a new tarot deck, I have a habit of doing a quick “intro” throw of cards to tell me a little about my relationship with said deck. It’s just something I do to sort of introduce myself to the new deck and vice versa… a little silly, I know! So after looking through the Lenormand cards and shuffling with them for a bit, I thought I’d do something similar with them. I decided to draw 3 cards as an overall outlook on my journey into the Lenormand- no real positions but with an intent to read them chronologically, like an actual journey.
Here’s what I got:
The cards are: 34 Fish + 21 Mountain + 16 Stars
Got My First Lenormand Deck + Book!
Posted on Monday, March 16, 2009 at 09:26 pm
I had been wanting to try the Lenormand Oracle for a long time now but haven’t had the chance to get a deck for myself as it’s kind of difficult obtaining one where I live. Last week, I found that I could get the Blue Owl + Sylvie Steinbach’s book (The Secrets of the Lenormand Oracle) together for a fairly good price with shipping to my location so I jumped at the chance. I didn’t expect it to arrive this quickly though- only 6 days including the weekend! I was literally skipping when I saw the brown package sitting inside my mailbox. :D
I have a little blue pouch for it too!
