The Language of Lenormand

A much-needed guide to this increasingly popular divination system written by a Lenormand master and teacher.
 
“Whether you are a novice seeking to immerse yourself in the magic of Lenormand or a seasoned diviner eager to expand your understanding, The Language of Lenormand will be your steadfast companion.”
—from the foreword by Carrie Paris
 
The Language of Lenormand is one of the clearest guides ever written for this beloved divination system. Popular in Europe for centuries, the Lenormand deck, consisting of thirty-six numbered and named cards, has now been embraced in North America by cartomancers, tarot enthusiasts, oracle readers, and many others. Each card depicts an archetype—a fox, a snake, a coffin, or whip, for example—rather than tarot’s somewhat more involved symbology. This makes the Lenormand system an easy entry point to divination.
 
Widely respected authority Erika Robinson believes that Lenormand is not just a deck of cards but also a language that, if mastered, can help you achieve self-empowerment and the ability to attain the life you desire. A longtime English teacher, she helps readers become fluent in the language of Lenormand. This clearly written, accessible guide to the meanings of each card requires no prior knowledge of Lenormand, but is simultaneously a sophisticated book that takes Lenormand to the next level, providing greater insights and elucidation for those already familiar with it.

“Erika Robinson uses her unique skill sets as both an English teacher and a seasoned diviner to lovingly introduce The Language of Lenormand from the ground up. Her pragmatic approach will have readers working with card combinations right from the first chapters in a way only a seasoned educator can accomplish. Readers will fall in love with these 36 cards that, when used in combinations, can uncover unlimited hidden knowledge.”
—Donnaleigh de LaRose, tarot and Lenormand educator, host of the cartomancy podcast, Beyond Worlds, Your Tarot Tribe

She has cultivated an easy-to-understand and compelling method to engage with the cards, inviting us to explore and find ourselves through the ‘language of pictures.’ As someone who has created several Lenormand decks, I highly recommend this much-needed and beautifully expressed ‘how-to’ filled with personal experience, interpretations, and historical information.

“Erika Robinson’s unique voice adds an edge to the information many in the Lenormand world already know, and yet may have never utilized. Where The Language of Lenormand really differs from other Lenormand books lies in Erika’s approach in emphasizing each card’s number, not just its meaning, so that reading a Grand Tableau becomes effortless. Her personal viewpoints and life experiences create a depth of narrative, allowing readers to feel comfortable in addition to creating a new perspective.”
—Callie L. French, illustrator of La Santa Muerte Lenormand and Rana George Lenormand
