It never occurred to me that you might see yourself as the Valet. For me he was the messenger, not the message personified. And yes, on occasion I read him as a charlatan. But NO, absolutely NOT in any way does that characteristic resemble you. You “didn’t hide,I didn’t lie or pretend...” Besides, t...

I've been unable to focus seriously on anything for the last couple of months... I seem to be getting nowhere. Nothing in depth is being done and I'm hopping from one place to the next with seemingly at least no real gain - nothing that I could show anyway. Why can't I focus ? I've never had proble...

Dear Diana, a spur of the moment decision has brought me to the North Wales coast for the week with its wide skies, and bracing sea air. And with my concern that broadband might be patchy seemingly unwarranted I can relax and enjoy reading for you. I’m using the Noblet. I wouldn’t have chosen this s...

Yeah, callous was the wrong word.
Sorry for the delay in posing my question - have done so now.

As for decks, would you prefer I use Noblet, a Conver repro, or Grimaud?

So sorry for the delay, Diana. I need to decide whether or not to be drawn back into closer contact with my birth family. Growing up in an adoptive family can be rather like being a round peg in an indeterminate hole. There's the sense of not fitting, and there are unknown crevices in that hole that...

Wow... this is a fascinating issue. Sorry if that sounds callous - your issue providing a fascinating exploration - but I'm intrigued already to know what the cards will say. Thanks Diana. I've got a few distracting things to finish up, but I anticipate plenty of space at the end of the week and wee...

Such a pleasure to read for you, Diana. Eagerly awaiting your question?

Hoping to slip in under the wire.

You didn't post an example, but it almost sounds more like your reading pairs rather than using clarifiers the way they do on facebook, etc. Nice to meet you Charlie Brown. You gave your daughter a beautiful name :) I don't actually use clarifiers, but like others here I find the silly usage elsewh...

As far as I've seen, most people misunderstand what 'to clarify' means, and instead look for a repetition... something that reiterates the 'meaning' of the first card. Where I think clarification might be useful is as in cookery. So, the removal of milk solids from melted butter, and the removal of ...

Just an aside - the Dodal Devil Aoife, what are you talking about ? My neurones or synapses or whatever are not making the necessary connections. Mind wandering... so sorry. Just thinking about the lesser value placed on the guts as a 'seat of intellect'. Also wondering whether this is in part abou...

Cold porridge and beans... far too heavy on the carbs!

Just an aside - the Dodal Devil

Oh dear, I know bugger all about Lenormand... but I'll not let that stop me from pontificating. In fact, it was only a few days ago that I relented and ordered a deck and book - yet to be delivered. So what follows is drawn from the floor sweepings from various internet sites and a lifetime's experi...

Brilliant!

Thank you so much for your post, Diana! Your reading of this card in this position is immensely helpful to me. All too often I feel that I'm dangling in indecision when it comes to creativity. But it's interesting that I'd 'chosen' to marry the idea of play with creativity, probably because that's w...

Oh my goodness, Diana... I'm lost for words.
I've been thinking about this all day, but need to sleep on it in the hope that the words will come.
In the meantime Thank You!!! - so much.

Oooh, I'm so tempted to interpret these cards. But I won't. They're yours. And that 9 of Swords is a great card here ! Just what's needed to round up all the Days. The Hanged Man - am not surprised to see it there. :D I'd love to know your interpretation! And most particularly your thoughts about t...

Sorry Diana, just catching up. There's a book that accompanies the deck, written by an A L Samul. In the introduction s(he) talks about discovering the published deck, finding that there was no accompanying text, and contacting Susan Hudes who agreed to collaborate on a book. A L Samuel talks a lot ...

Apologies for my disappearance for a few days. I did though continue to pull cards and ponder the positional meanings. It seems to me that many of the cards re-stated the points made by the positions - almost to the extent of cliched RWS 'meanings'. By the same token, there's a depth here that I cou...
