New in this edition is my translation of an old "Philippe Lenormand" instruction sheet (c.1850) from German into English in an effort to understand the original or traditional meanings of the cards. My goal in writing this e-book was to organize my notes about the original images and traditional card meanings used by cartomancers during the decades after the Lenormand deck made its first appearance in Germany during the 19th century. I was also interested in the names given to the cards and the linguistic connotations and implications of those choices of words. In the Appendix of edition, I have reproduced some of the public domain information about coffee grounds divination, to which the Lenormand owes much of its symbolism, as well as stories related to the Lenormand card images because these stories were part of the popular culture of the time. The Lenormand cards used to illustrate this text are the creations of Jose Manuel Belloso Talavera of Barcelona who kindly gave permission for their use in this text.

Review: An essential text for your Lenormand library - If you want to learn traditional Lenormand card meanings and interpretation methods and don't want a lot of modern innovations to confuse the matter, then this is the book for you. It's a compedium of the 18th and 19th century essentials. You won't get overwhelmed by card meanings for every eventuality. You'll see how the Grand Tableau was originally read. Plus there are appendices that explain the original German cartomantic meanings for the playing cards depicted, and the 1796 Viennese coffee-ground meanings from which the Lenormand cards were probably devised. You'll want to also get another book that offers a more modern approach to the cards, but I consider this book absolutely essential for keeping one grounded in Lenormand as it was read for more than 200 years. Review: Great little book! - I found this to be a great companion book to have with other Lenormand books. This book focused more on the history and traditional meaning on the individual cards. Overall, it was a great learning experience that has enhanced my Lenormand readings!!! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #1,037,724 in Kindle Store ( See Top 100 in Kindle Store ) #214 in New Age Fortune Telling #437 in New Age Divination with Tarot #1,163 in Fortune Telling | ## Images ![Lenormand Symbols: Exploring the Origins of the Images on the Cards - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81NwUEfy8kL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An essential text for your Lenormand library *by T***I on August 30, 2014* If you want to learn traditional Lenormand card meanings and interpretation methods and don't want a lot of modern innovations to confuse the matter, then this is the book for you.
