Erika, the first American author to write about the Lenormand system, offers her unique perspective on this 36-card divination tool. She explains how Lenormand functions as a “language of symbology,” relying on card combinations to form clear, actionable messages. The trio delves into the contrasts between Lenormand and Tarot, debunking the myth that Lenormand is a “basic” system and revealing its depth and adaptability.
