I'm glad you mentioned not using reversals, as it just didn't seem logical to me to do so. I will certainly give some thought to what you suggested!Zanna Starrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07596554739447170460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8421768802438442323.post-22115000340179229442012-10-26T08:12:07.006-04:002012-10-26T08:12:07.006-04:00Hi Helen!

I enjoyed reading your experience with ...Hi Zanna,<br /><br />I enjoyed reading your experience with this exercise. You captured your thought process very well.<br /><br />I don't know anybody who relies on the LWB by Laura Tuan. While I'm sure she put some effort into it, that is the only source that uses Lenormand reversals, which immediately makes it suspect to me. Lenormand relies on pairs to add nuance, rather than reversed cards, which it shares with other European oracles. So I'd suggest not relying to heavily on that book, although as with anything else when it comes to card reading, you are in charge of your own path. :)<br /><br />I'm with you on the Fish as business. As you note, for Steinbach the Fox primarily is a work or job card, and secondarily about slyness and deception. (For other traditional readers, it is lies first and work-related on occasion.) Just for an alternate thought, suppose the Fox is talking about a steady client -- a source of regular commissions that is like a steady job or contract. Would that change anything for your interpretation?<br /><br />I don't have anything against Snakes, but I have adopted them as a bad news card. :) As someone once wrote, "Mice is little problems versus Snake is big problems."<br /><br />With this exercise, I wouldn't normally look for any major messages, especially when learning the deck. For example, if I thought there was a message of physical injury, I'd expect a papercut or stubbing my toe. (Although I find papercuts very annoying!) So following on with the Fox as a steady client/contract, then the Snake could indicate that this person doesn't have your best interests at heart, or is looking at a loophole, or perhaps even wanting to back out. Again, I would look for a less severe meaning in this case. Maybe it's just that the person is inclined to harangue you because they can!<br /><br />Interestingly, the idea that popped in my head while reading your post was a bad clasp. Maybe check your supplies carefully, particularly if you are making any "loopy" type of jewelry.<br /><br />Thanks for letting me know you tried this exercise!<br /><br />--JaseAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8421768802438442323.post-39957725995893142122012-10-26T01:17:00.262-04:002012-10-26T01:17:00.262-04:00I tried this out with the only Lenormand deck I ha...I tried this out with the only Lenormand deck I have which is the Gypsy:<br /><br />Theme I got 4 the Caravan - to me that is a home and home is where you are safe, secure and even successful but a Caravan is movable so it also could represent travel or moving forward don't you think. <br /><br />Perhaps the question that can come out of this card is how do I move forward in order to create something secure and succesfull?<br /><br />Answer: 16 The Stars, there is a ladder in this image that reaches up to all those stars, I wonder if it is telling me to following my dreams? Maybe it's saying the way forward is through my imagination, it can be set to reach limits that I maybe thought were not possible. Perhaps it's suggesting that one must allow themself to feel inspired in order to be successful and then the ladder to show me that that will also allow my artistic talent to grow.<br /><br />Outcome: 33 Key - well we all know that keys open doors, it seems quiet simply to be saying following the advice of the card above and you will be able to open new door for yourself. Perhaps its saying that I myself hold the key to success in my hands, and its how I act with what I have that will either lock or unlock my potential.<br /><br />Fun exercise ^_^Helen A.

It was interesting to see what cards came up and how they interacted as I learn my way around this deck.Zanna Starrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07596554739447170460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8421768802438442323.post-39764425628138988362012-10-25T21:56:59.060-04:002012-10-25T21:56:59.060-04:00Or maybe not of it applies?

Better to create the life (and business) you want, rather than open the door to fear and suspicion when there's absolutely nothing to be concerned about. Just my opinion. :o)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
