The Lenormand system is a divination method using a deck of 36 cards, each featuring specific symbols and images. Created in the 19th century and named after Marie Anne Lenormand, a famous French fortune teller, this oracle deck combines simple imagery with complex interpretive possibilities.
Unlike Tarot cards, which often deal with psychological and spiritual matters, Lenormand cards are more practical and concrete, focusing on everyday situations and mundane events. Each card has a primary symbol (such as House, Tree, or Ship) and can be read both individually and in combination with other cards.
