What Does The Deck Say? December 08 2015


This 39 card deck by Caitlín Matthews and Virginia Lee includes two sets of Man and Woman cards, along with an extra Diviner card. The two sets of Man and Woman allows the reading to be tailored to the circumstances of the Querent. One pair is portrayed with light skin and the other pair is portrayed with dark skin. The unused cards are removed from the deck before shuffling. The Diviner (37) is not required for Lenormand reading. I include it with my throws as it makes an excellent “Stop Card” when first on the table and a “pay attention to what follows” card when appearing elsewhere.

Today’s cards: Sun + Man + Coffin.

The Enchanted Lenormand Oracle: Sun + Man + Coffin.
The Enchanted Lenormand Oracle: Sun + Man + Coffin.

It is okay to you, even if that you is something not accepted by everyone else. I know you’re looking at the cards then back at these words and wondering how did I arrive to the first sentence. Simple. The Sun shines on everything under it without question, justification, or payment. The Man is any Person (and I would say the same if it was the Woman card), however this particular person has a lot on their mind, such as the Coffin. And the Coffin could be a representation of a goth’s perfect layering of black hues, could be the reminder of something in the Person’s life that has come to an end, or the need to bury something from the past that needs to stay buried. But these… deviations… from public social norms are often shunned. So this is your reminder, that you do you, however you are, and be excellent at it in the way only you can be. (And call your friends if you’re up to it. They’d like to know you’re okay.)
