Lenormand cards are a type of fortune-telling deck that originated in the 18th century, named after Marie Anne Adelaide Lenormand, a famous French fortune-teller. Unlike traditional tarot decks, which typically have 78 cards, a standard Lenormand deck consists of 36 cards, each featuring simple images and symbols. These cards are used for divination, providing insights into various aspects of life, such as love, career, and health. The interpretation of Lenormand cards relies on their combinations and positions in a spread, rather than individual meanings. Readers often use specific layouts, like the Celtic Cross or the Grand Tableau, to gain deeper insights. The straightforward imagery makes Lenormand accessible for both beginners and experienced practitioners.
