I started my lenormand journey last year when I saw the Blue Owl lenormand in Tarot Dame BlogSpot, but that was just a quick glance since at the time I did not care much about it. It was not until the end of fall that I bought the Lenormand Oracle by Laura Tuan plus The Secrets of Lenormand Oracle by Sylvie Steinbach. It had entertained me for a while, but the book was not my cup of tea. I could never get pass the Stars. It was frustrating, so I put that down. I decided to take the lenormand in a different approach. I started researching blogs, heard podcast, youtube, and was finding information in other forums, but no matter what I always came back to this forum. Since this is where I learned tarot and if I learned tarot here than I can learn lenormand here as well.
After the year ended I still learned nothing. I was still confused and lost. It was a hopeless case. It is not like tarot where I just can read the card intuitionally. Nope, I was a lost cause, but that did not stop me from learning it. Nope, instead I started listening to more podcast, started reading people threads in here, started chatting with some people, which lead me getting the confidence in asking for help, and when Rana George book came out then everything started falling to place.
It is like learning a new language where at first you have trouble with it, but once you take your time and listen to the words carefully than it suddenly make sense. Yes, there will be times where I am still confused and do not know what to do, but hey that is the process of learning it or that is how I think of it.
I may be a newbie when it comes to it, but at least I am having fun along the way and gaining confidence in myself. That is what really counts for me.
