The Secrets of the Lenormand Oracle

I have been studying and working with Sylvie Steinbach's book, "The Secrets of the Lenormand Oracle", since late last Fall. I had been looking for years, for a different system from the Tarot, that would not only compliment the Tarot, but give more detailed insights. I definitely have found that with The Lenormand Oracle!As a way to practice different combinations, and become more familiar with the nuances of these cards,after studying Sylvie's book, and her great virtual workshop (check for link on this page), [...]These cards have out-performed my hopes and expectations as to what is possible in divination with cards...they are phenomenal!The readings that I have done, for friends and family, have brought up funny little details that have been born out. For example:I did a reading for a girlfriend, who was being pushed out of her rental house because her dog had had puppies. She had managed to find good homes to all of them except one, who she ended up keeping. The landlord discovered this, and said "out!"-To find a place, in the middle of winter, to rent, (when you have a few dogs!!) is very very difficult. She asked me to do a reading for her, asking if she would find a 3 bedroom house, with a back yard, reasonable rent, that would accept her dogs?I don't have the specific reading any longer, but I remember that I told her,(following Sylvie's precise methods, that yes, she would find such a house that she would really like, and would stay there for a long time. The cards also said to me that she needed to check out her place of work, look at the bulletin boards, or talk to people she worked with, because she would find the place through a lucky break connected to work.I felt as though, I had put my head on the chopping block with that one! lol My friend also reads for a second income, but couldn't read for herself. Time went by, and then lo and behold! I got an email from her thanking me profusely! She had found the perfect house to rent, with a very kind landlord. It was in a more desirable area, near all the ammenities (she doesn't drive) AND she found out about it through a co-worker at that place of employment, before the house was even listed or emptied of the tenants!!That was a major moment for me as to the power of these funny little cards. You don't need 52 cards or 78 cards to get an incredibly detailed account. You just need The Lenormand cards, and Sylvie Steinbach's book! Sylvie's teaching thread on Aecletic Tarot Forum has been indispensable for taking this beginner to the next level. I can't recommend this teacher, and her specific methods for reading these cards, highly enough! I never thought I would say this, but they run rings around Tarot!!I have been in awe, at some of the insights that have come forth with these cards.If you want to get specifics, and really get to the heart of matters, discover the Lenormand Cards, and Sylvie Steinbach's book- you won't look back! :)SpiritSong~

I am very new to the world of fortune telling, having only purchased my first deck of Lenormand and Tarot cards last month. I instantly felt a connection to the Lenormand Oracle, and wanted to learn as much as I could about the 36 little cards it contained.Sylvie's book is the first text I have read on the subject, and I can gladly say that this book has become my daily companion. 'Secrets of the Lenormand Oracle' provides valuable insights to each of the card meanings, including love, work, money, health, family, friends, and events. It even provides individual meanings for card combinations.She shares her 'freestyle' method where no layout is required, and this helps answer any type of specific question. She explains how the cards can predict a time frame, or even describe the personality or appearance of an individual you are likely to meet in the future.This book is perfect for beginners as it is set out in a way that is easy to understand and refer back to while you're still learning to read the cards. The best part however is that it isn't just a tool for beginners... it opens up a whole new world for immediate and advanced card readers also. Sylvie is more than an author; she is a mentor. And she runs classes for people who want to learn deeper and more extensive meanings than can be provided in any one book. You'd need an entire library to cover it all! But this book is obviously a great place to start.I recommend The Secrets Of The Lenormand Oracle to anyone interested in learning to read Lenormand cards, or anyone who is an experienced reader and would like to learn Sylvie's freestyle method.

There are many Lenormand books that talk about relationships between cards. This book went through what those are. Though I don't see them as set in stone this is very good at showing how cards relate. I liked that a lot with this book.Also, the method of reading is more free form for general questions. That does not fit the typical use but I find it works really well. Not as much emphasis on shuffling if you fan the cards and pick. Not a strong emphasis on card position which feels much more fluid. Found this book to be very helpful.

It's a good book for beginners, but not one to stick with forever. The meanings explored in the book sometimes are very, very limited - even taking into account that Lenormand cards tend to have a narrow scope of meaning as compared to classic tarot, but even them, the combos are too thin for a good reading. It's an excellent tool for those who are experimenting with Lenormand for first time, but one should immediately get something else to add to it. Other than that, Sylvie has really nice insights on layouts and readings that might benefit anyone interested in divination. Lenormand cards are very straightforward and work very well in combination with more "holistic" divination methods such as i-ching or tarot.

Je recommande ce livre qui est très pertinent concis, simple et clair. C'est mon ouvrage de référence pour les tirages du Lenormand. Il est tout à fait abordable en anglais. Il est le seul à ma connaissance à présenter toutes les combinaisons. (Interprétation selon l'école française) L'auteure est française installée à Los Angeles. On peut donc faire des tirages dès le 1er jour, avec une grande précision!J'ai crains de ne pas le recevoir à cause du transporteur que je recommande pas en revanche...
