DAILY RESIDUE: A Cartomancy Journal
Daily Lenormand: Stars + Dog + Letter (+Ring)
Posted on Tuesday, June 09, 2009 at 04:06 am
Deck: Piatnik - Jeu du Destin - Lenormand
+
The cards are 16 Stars + 18 Dog + 27 Letter (+ 25 Ring)
I decided to draw from my Mlle. Lenormand Jeu du Destin No.194115 Piatnik deck today since it’s a newer deck I got and haven’t had the chance to give it a run yet. The pictures are much softer than the Blue Owl and the colors are pretty too. :)
I initially drew only 3 cards, but I was really drawn towards a particular card in my fan, so I drew that one too to make a 4th. My initial thought at seeing Stars, Dog, and Letter was that I might finally hear from a dear friend who had disappeared on me. I’ve been very worried about him as the last I heard from him, he was having some serious health issues… and then he disappeared. Star could represent my hope that he’s alright, and Letter could be that he’ll get back to me soon.
Drawing a 4th card and getting the Ring throws this reading off somehow though. It seems the message I would be getting might actually be related to a marriage, contract, or some kind of agreement instead. Maybe I’ll hear about a friend getting married? I’m wondering if this could have to do with a friend of mine who’s having marriage problems and is dealing with a divorce although he’s still hoping that he could save his marriage though. Lastly, it could also still be talking about my work-related contract issues again. Hmm… will update once I know.
Daily Lenormand: Ring + Mice + Man
Posted on Monday, June 01, 2009 at 04:09 pm
Deck: Blue Owl - Lenormand
Spread: General 3-Card Draw
The cards are 25 Ring + 23 Mice + 28 Gentleman
I drew these cards earlier this morning, but I think it may have already played out. Seeing these 3 cards, I initially thought it might be referring to my work issues yet again- especially with all that stress and loss relating to a contract and a man who could be G from my previous work readings. But I didn’t want to fall into the trap of reading everything to be about work just because I was having problems in that area- plus with where things are right now, those 3 cards shouldn’t apply to today. That said, here are other possibilities I was thinking about…
Daily Tarot: Things Put in Motion

Deck: Morgan Greer Tarot
Spread: General 3-Card Draw
After doing my daily Lenormand this morning, I decided to draw a few cards from my Morgan Greer to see how the cards correlate (if at all). I also wanted to see the bigger picture, which I felt the Tarot usually more able to give me than the Lenormand.
The cards are Wheel of Fortune, 3 of Rods, Emperor
Daily Lenormand: Tower + Gentleman + Letter
Posted on Friday, May 29, 2009 at 11:16 am
Deck: Blue Owl - Lenormand
Spread: General 3-Card Draw
The cards are 19 Tower + 28 Gentleman + 27 Letter
I drew these cards earlier for my daily and immediately thought of the reading I did yesterday about waiting for a reply from G.
Tower+Gentleman is a man who’s in authority or holds power, especially within a corporate company, which would definitely apply to G. Gentleman+Letter would be a message from this man. According to the reading I did yesterday, I should receive a (positive) reply within 2 days and if my draw today is any indication, then it’d be today. :)
If, on the off chance, this reading is not talking about G’s message… then perhaps I will be receiving some kind of message from a man with Tower characteristics (ambitious, possibly cold or arrogant, tall, maybe even lonely) which could be possible as I’m supposed to hear from someone like that one of these days. Or a different interpretation could be a message from official people or places, but for this one, I’m more inclined to think the Bear would appear in place of the Gentleman.
Will update later tonight!
Update!
@ 9:32PM: Around mid-afternoon, I received my reply from G- both via phone call and email… so, yes, today’s draw was telling me that I should expect to hear from him today after all! :) I also drew 3 tarot cards today that can correlate with today’s reading, as well as the reading where I asked about the response. The post has been updated with more details… and the daily tarot draw should go up shortly too.
Daily Tarot: Reconciling the Differences
Posted on Thursday, May 21, 2009 at 11:01 pm
Deck: Morgan Greer Tarot
Spread: General 3-Card Draw
The cards are Queen of Rods, 6 of Cups, Knight of Pentacles
Which am I? The Queen of Rods with her fiery, passionate nature… filled with her creative ideas, wanting to pursue these dreams and see her visions come to life? Or the Knight of Pentacles with his ever reliable self who diligently continues on the practical path to get things done in a nonsensical fashion, because he has obligations and he’s nothing short of responsible? It is, after all, the only proper way to be… isn’t it?
After the kind of mental self-beating I had yesterday, it really should come as no surprise that these were the cards I drew today. The split between my two inner selves have only become more prominent- the restlessness in me who desires so strongly to go chasing after my dreams and the more sensible side of me that’s demanding I stay put and keep things stable and safe.
It’s obvious as well, that my memories of those simpler days of the past has been featuring quite prominently in my mind. These nostalgic feelings and remembering what it was that I wanted out of my life have been both a wake-up call and my worst enemy in all this. Yet in some ways, as difficult as this stage might be for me, it is also something that I need to face.
So how can I make a choice between the two? I can’t and I don’t, as one is as much a part of me as the other. And though the 6 of Cups may be wreaking havoc in my self right now, I’m also recognizing the harmony between the boy and the girl in the card. Somehow, I need to find a way to reconcile the differences and find a balance within myself. Whether the Queen of Wands or the Knight of Pentacles, they can both be a strength in their own right after all…
