Customer Reviews

very detailed!
This is currently the only book available for the Lenormand Cards in English - and its quite detailed! I am not sure about the other review, but this book gives enough information to pick up the cards and do a detailed reading. The author has given all possible combinations - and explains that if you want to read these cards then you have to look at the interpretation of each combination. He even lists different meanings as to health issues, love and romance, work and employment and shows how the meaning of the combination changes depending on the questions asked.

What makes this book truly valuable though are additional information and hints as to how to avoid burn-out as a reader and how to take care of yourself if you are a professional fortune teller. I have already had one telephone reading with the author and was very impressed about the detailed information he gave me!

This book is excellent and I can't wait for the course that is mentioned in the back of the book to become available!

FABULOUS!
Finally, a book to not only help with the Lenormand card readings, but to include help for the reader! I was very impressed with this book! The outline allowed for a beginner to do a detailed reading, and for a skilled reader, more information to do a very detailed reading! VERY IMPRESSIVE! The extra information on focus,baths, and how to avoid reader's burnout was a plus! I have recommended this book to many tarot readers & will continue to recommend this book to my students. An instant classic!

More than Cartomancy
I love this book! This book gives the Lenormand cards from the p.o.v. of a priest of Umbanda and Quimbanda. In addition to meanings of the cards and combinations, he offers advice on additional actions one may take to protect you from or enhance the message divined. Very practical for spiritual use. He gives Afro-Brazilian spirit correspondences, oil and bath recipes, and a chapter on working with the Gypsy spirits to use these cards. I agree with the reviewer that said it was short on the actual mechanics of reading a spread, but that was the problem with Sylvie Steinbach's book too. However, there is enough information given to work it out for yourself with little effort. I recommend this book.
