Tarot is rich in symbolism and complex imagery, whereas Lenormand cards show only one main symbol. There are standard playing cards associated to every Lenormand card too, beginning at the sixes, going all the way up to the Aces and Court Cards. Nowadays, many deck creators choose not to include the playing card inserts as images, opting for just the relevant number and suit symbol instead; many omit any mention of the playing cards, ignoring them altogether. Perhaps they have become outdated, or simply take up valuable space which the artist wishes to reclaim.<\/p>\n
Unlike Tarot, with which an entire reading can be built around a single card, Lenormand requires cards to be read in pairs or more. Lenormand cards don\u2019t communicate alone, like Tarot, nor do readers assign spread positions to the cards. Instead, Lenormand cards behave like words in a sentence, and as the reading grows the cards communicate and interact with each other to provide detailed answers.<\/p>\n
Tarot is often used as a deep philosophical tool for self-development and meditation, but Lenormand prefers to tell it like it is! This oracle gives punchy, direct answers to questions, with very little messing! It doesn\u2019t take long to memorise the 36 cards, as many of their symbolic meanings already exist within our psyches \u2013 for example, the Clover means luck, a window of opportunity, and the Fox can indicate someone slick, cunning and deceitful, or a small job.<\/p>\n
Reading these two cards as a combination works like this \u2013 the Clover as the first card, acts like a noun, or naming word within a sentence. The Fox then comes along and modifies the Clover, acting a bit like an adjective, or describing work.<\/p>\n
