Lenormand has often been called “Tarot’s little sister,” but it’s so much more than that. In some ways, this 36-card deck is simpler and more direct; in others, it’s far more complex. We’ll briefly touch on the Grand Tableau spread, which uses all 36 cards at once and reveals just how deep and nuanced Lenormand reading can be.

You do not need any prior experience with Lenormand to participate, though I recommend bringing a deck with you (see my suggestions at the end). We’ll discuss how to read the cards, effective strategies and spreads for using Lenormand on its own, and ways to incorporate Lenormand with tarot for deeper insight.

suggest using a Lenormand deck with clear, direct imagery, ideally one that also prints the corresponding playing card on each card. Here are some suggestions for beginners:

Grand Tableau Lenormand (original-style deck and usually the most affordable option on Amazon)

Blue Bird Lenormand

Fairytale Lenormand (companion to the Fairytale Tarot)

Green Glyphs Lenormand (my personal favorite, but also the most expensive)

Pixie’s Astounding Lenormand (in the styleyle of RWS)
