Lenny Sign-ups! Nov Reading Group

[Joan Marie]

Last month we had a go at using Lenormand for fictive reading.

After a little fumbling to get started, it turned into a really fun and helpful way to learn and practice Lenormand.

Here's how it works: The sitter poses as a character from fiction. It can be from a book, TV show, Movie, legend, whatever you like. The sitter then poses a question to the reader that the fictional character would ask based on their situation. (Don't name your source, really pose the question as if you are the character looking for answers.)

The reader then tries to answer the question using any Lenormand spread they choose. I found starting with 5 or 7 cards to work best.

Using a fictional character, you can really work with some interesting questions that, fortunately or unfortunately, would not likely come up in our real lives.

Also, since there are no real stakes, readers can really "say what they see" without worrying about any real-life repercussions. This can be really freeing.

Afterward, you can discuss the reading very objectively and compare styles and techniques openly, helping each other to learn and understand.

If you want to see an example, check out the exchange between myself and Charlie Brown last month.

I hope you'll join us! This is a great exercise for beginners and experienced Lenormand readers alike.

The more the merrier!
Thanks everyone!

BTW- if you want to play but don't have a Lenny deck (yet) there is a 5-card computer draw on my website you can use. (scroll down a little bit, you'll see it.)
You can take a screenshot of it for your post OR just name the cards and I'll post them for you.

Sign me up for Nov, please. Len is new to me and I can see that the only way I'm ever going to pressure myself into learning about it is to jump in.

[chiscotheque]

hi gang. like Dodalisque, i'm wet behind the ears, Lenormandably-speaking, but would like to participate. please count me in.

[Rachelcat]

Me, too! I have an idea for my question this time, so count me in!

[Decan]

I thought about my character too, and will introduce my question with a few lines about the context (important thing with Lenormand). I will be a man, quite doubious

[Joan Marie]

Looks like we have a really good group here!

Thanks everybody for joining. I will be assigning partners a little later today. (Had a late night last night )
