I for one have always ignored the insets, but when you said that at the workshop, I became determined to examine them.

Just playing around.

Even though it is the mother of French and francophilic Lenormand, it has always been criticized for that. None of her followers (Silvestre, Steinbach, George) repeated this innovation.Andy Boroveshengrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10022415255416662698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8749644478681930620.post-89843952391617970582015-07-29T07:58:05.342+01:002015-07-29T07:58:05.342+01:00This take on the things close to the Man being wha...This take on the things close to the Man being what motivates him is interesting. However, the same argument could certainly be made about the woman, though I guess this comes back to the sexist bit. Also, if you're going to go with the "traditional", old-fashioned approach, then shouldn't the Rider be about messages - the Man wanting to be in the centre of things with people letting him know what's going on? :D<br /><br />Will be interested to see the other suits, as you say. What is seen as motivational for the woman? And what about the signs where there is no significator?

I've been staring at the Diamonds this evening, waiting for something to spring to mind. Might not! :) I certainly don't think the Herzberg theory will fit it...no significator in the line. It's got some tough cards in it, too. Birds, Coffin.

My "aha moment" flashed before my eyes. LOL, Can't wait to read your next post now.

Obviously on Saturday, there just wasn't time. In the first draft of the book, I wanted to teach the cards' meanings suit by suit not 1-36. It was not a popular idea, when I discussed it with readership, and Lenormand groups. But it does help, doesn't it? <br /><br />If you shuffle the cards, just using hearts, and then do the same with how they fall randomly, it's amazing how quickly you pick up the meanings and themes.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
