The Semantics of Lenormand

This video references a blog written by Stella Waldvogel (with her permission). The link to that blog post is here: fennario.wordpr... . Stella makes an excellent poing that "Tarot is Visual, Lenormand is Verbal." This video demonstrates that reading philosophy. Thank you, Stella, for the concise description of how each reads. To learn more about Lenormand and how to read it, you are welcome to visit my website at donnaleigh.com. Also check out our free podcasts, which feature information not available in our videos.

These videos might be old but they are GOLD! There doesn't seem to be as much resources for Lenormand as there is for Tarot. I appreciate all the knowledge you share on your channel. Thank you! ♥

[@wailingwong885]

This video has helped me to understand so much more. I was reading the lenormand like tarot and just couldn't fathom it. "Tarot is visual. Lenormand is verbal." was the light bulb moment for me, and the examples shown on how to combine the cards ie subject (noun) and modifer (verb) cemented the logic of how to read lenormand for me. Thank you so much.

[@donnaleighdelarose5899]

In response to Kat, I go left to right,but as long as the left is the topic, you can do either and get the same message. For example: Dog - Fox - WHip It could be: 1) The false friend criticized them, or 2) they were criticized by the false friend. Notice that the dog is the action agent, the topic. They both meant the same. But I don't right right to left as in: The criticism was intended to manipulate, but they are loyal to you. (Whip - Fox - Dog). In this sentence the Criticism (whip) becomes the agent around which the cards are focused.

I have been reading tarot and oracle cards for so long that I have to remember to leave imagery out of it. This is really good!

[@crystalheart9]

I've wondered about Lenormand and your lessons make it very easy to understand. Wow, the cards you are using are so beautiful I can see myself falling into the visual reading like tarot with them. You are very good at teaching and making it easy to understand and enjoyable. Thanks:)

I just got this deck today, it is so beautiful. Thank you so much for your informative video on how to read these wonderful cards.

[@algeanjordan493]

Thank you so much for your patience. This is quite spectacular.

[@shaem1960]

This deck is exactly what I've been looking for as a beginner, and your tutorial is so helpful in clarifying the simplicity of Le Normand for us. Thank you.

[@mysticsongbird30]

This is a very informative video... I understand the difference bet. lenormand and tarot now :) thank you!

[@LaKiaTheSeer]

Please continue making videos. 🥀

[@fatmaibrahim4196]

Amazing lesson. Thank you.

[@wholesomegirl2889]

Dear Becca, I enjoyed your reading and teaching immensely. Your system is awesome. I read tarot cards but I’m so drawn to Lenormand cards as I watched you. I absolutely love the deck you’re using. Could you pls tell us what they called. I’m searching on the internet but cannot find it. I’m absolutely fascinated by your online classes. Thank you. God bless. 🙏🏻💕🌺

[@tallulahdahling5025]

Excellent! Thanks for this.

[@33tarot]

Hey Donna! Just got my Lenormand

[@DivineWhispers]

Good job... enjoy the magic!

[@losmisteriosdeltarot]

Thank you Donnaleigh, your Lenormand videos rock!

[@DivineWhispers]

Thanks a million

[@muriellambert2750]

great explanation ! Thank you very much for this very informative & interesting video.

[@天靈靈地靈靈-l2d]

this is gold! thanks for sharing

[@blairtarley6702]

This is Lori Bach. Greetings and great job! I have no understanding or experience with Lenormand Tarot and appreciated your video! It's simple and I like the written synopsis at the bottom pulling it all together and your humor - ENRON! I am a Gemini with Taurus ascending so sometimes I get "stuck in my ways" or get apprehensive at times of something new; however, after watching your video I look forward to getting a deck and becoming acclimated with it! I have a question. In the bottom right-hand corner of each card is a number and symbol. Do you use these in your readings? Is there an advanced course/video on this? Does this deck come with a book? Thank you very much!

[@DivineWhispers]

Greylady, yes, most certainly. This could be a financial advisor, or even what the pastor decided to preach about that morning. If you ask what your meeting with the boss will be about that day and this comes up....you'll be talking about the budget.

[@gherfarlane2869]

liked how the use of = four cards = were used, with the Lenormand Example.

[@cartomanteia]

Donnaleigh, I have a question regarding the things you say in minute 9. In the german school there is the distance method, in which if we see the snake close to the querent means that traitor is near him, if we see it 3 cards left or right, it means that he is relatively safe. The same thing happens with coffin, birds, clouds... On the clouds they even check the dark side and the bright side to interpret good problems or confusion. Also, they check if we have the star close to the clouds and re-interpret appearance issues... Our school, the french one, doesn't have those things, but we cannot ignore the distance method in the grand tableau. So, maybe we can tarotise our spreads consciously when we see negative cards. Sorry dear for this question.

[@DivineWhispers]

There are some things that cannot be combined between the near/far method and the French method. The techniques conflict with each other. So it's okay if you don't combine the two methods. Know the rules of both before you attempt combining them. The strategies that agree are useful to combine together.

[@cartomanteia]

@@DivineWhispers thank you for your kind and clear response. It means a lot. I wish that we see your book very soon. Have a nice day.

[@jasminebrooks6971]

this was ridiculous helpful. I just got my bluebird deck today.

[@DivineWhispers]

Jasmine Brooks Thank you so much. I really like that deck. Enjoy the journey!

[@Psylove17]

I love this video. I hope soon we have news regarding your book. Rider + Book + Stars

[@RAVENMoonTarot]

Using intuition makes it way stronger though. You can do it that way or look even deeper and find information too

[@dennispena5496]

It seems, at least to me, that the birds signify, singing/music or gossip... :-D These cards seem fun. Maybe I'll try purchasing them.

[@DivineWhispers]

yes, birds can definitely mean chatter and gossip. It is especially gossip when it is followed by the whip

[@Lakshmi235Lakshmi]

Thank you so much 🙏🤗🌹

[@LadyHavana74]

*LOVE* The Music In This Video DL!

[@hesaaah3805]

Can u do a video with the Mexican loteria cards please?

[@carolallison862]

Thank you 🇬🇧

[@mariehansenintuitive]

Excellent video!

[@rainybb]

I'm using the same deck. When I asked if the guy A is "the one" in a relationship reading. I got Heart + Sun + Choice. So, I can interpret it as "A bright relationship lead to a choice" or "something is explored in the relationship and lead to a split". And the two sentences mean totally opposite things... That's very confusing...

[@MichaelaH2059]

Always helpful; thank you!

[@thanosztitan]

Amazing, Got how this works!

[@nitecro]

could the garden next to the stars and the letter represent a message on facebook or an internet community?

[@donnaleighdelarose5899]

Yes, absolutely.

[@milangabor381]

Can i this amazing Semantics system use with Tarot? Thank you sooo much:DDD It seems that it makes everything easy,

[@mourningsun620]

Thanx a lot! Now i got it! Bum bum bum ❤️

[@evezulu3403]

What about bird, dog, clover, mice, child?

[@luisaponce1885]

Wats the name of this deck

[@katcrowley5296]

So do you work backwards from right to left after putting the cards down?

[@7spiritualcompass706]

Can you tell me what these three cards, in this order, have, as a message: Tree, Sun, Coffin. Please correct me if I'm wrong. This is how I interpreted the card: Tree for health/family, Sun for exposure/joy/happiness, and coffin for something ending/death. I have a minor hemoglobin condition and drew these cards. I don't want to think that it indicates death for me, since the coffin cloth faces the sun card. Can you Please respond to this comment. I would appreciate it.

[@morgenoghmanann8746]

In the Lenormand system, the coffin means an ending to something, but rarely death. When it dies refer to death, it is always a death that has already occurred. In this trio, it could be a reference to a heat-related (Sun) health situation (tree) being put in the past (coffin). Blood circulation helps in part heat the body, So I would say that the cards are very optimistic about your health issue becoming a thing of the past. I hope that helps.

[@MoonSunflower111]

Can you do a video on each cards meanings please

[@juliawoosterhypnotist6640]

Could Tower and Book be an accounting firm?

[@gotmuziqinme]

Which cards are those? I love the art!!!

[@donnaleighdelarose5899]

Micky the deck is identified in the first few seconds of the video

[@gotmuziqinme]

Donnaleigh de LaRose thank you!

[@ladonnadiaz9163]

I' m just curious...I am new to Lenormand and am more familiar with Tarot. If Lenormand is verbal and has nothing to do with symbolism, why put the pictures on the cards at all? Why not just have words on the cards? It seems odd to me that there are so many beautifully drawn decks with so much detail in the drawings if you are not supposed to pay attention to them.

[@hannahdga]

LaDonna Paulk but I feel like you do have to pay attention to the card elements - it’s just that they are signifying the words, and the key word for the card and its image (that’s just a symbol for the key word) can unfold into a variety of meanings. I feel like Lenormand is more forward as to the answers you’ll get, but the symbols in the cards are more simplified, and connected to those key words/key meanings, that you interpret according to context.

[@thebutterfly3ffect77]

Direction

[@lynnemum58]

Wonderful as always. :)

[@devinegirl4573]

what if I had man book ..Park and tree.? Does it mean he's going to gathering secretly. in the family ?

[@barbararivera2380]

Must the querent state the question to the reader?

[@MrsSMJ25]

This is brilliant! Thank you :-)

[@Readingsbylisa]

Awesome 😊

[@nitecro]

and could the lady next to the birds, lillies and the book also means that a woman talks about a secret she knows? because i think that wisdom is kind of knowledge too :)

[@donnaleighdelarose5899]

I'm not so sure, with the pure lilies in between. It could be a truthful secret, well-intended, with the way I ready.

[@nitecro]

okay thank you :) i just started lenormand in summer 2013 and i am insecure every now and then

[@Valeeee303]

Hola, no hablo mucho inglés, espero q puedas entenderme. Tengo una gran confusión con los significados y combinaciones. Estuve ejercitando como vos enseñas y pude acertar mejor. Pero practicando con preguntas que se la respuesta, me surgió esto:"estoy embarazada"(es seguro que no lo estoy) "perro+cigüeña +jardín" no logro entender. Podrías ayudarme??? Gracias!
