Lenormand is a type of divination system that uses a deck of 36 cards, each with unique symbols and meanings. Named after the famous French fortune-teller Marie Anne Adelaide Lenormand, this method is often used for gaining insights into personal situations, relationships, and future events. The cards are typically read in combinations, allowing for nuanced interpretations. The Lenormand deck differs from traditional tarot decks, which usually contain 78 cards and focus on archetypal imagery. Instead, Lenormand cards are more straightforward and practical, making them accessible for beginners. Readers often use spreads, or layouts, to organize the cards and enhance their readings.
