Donnaleigh: Who is My Dad? (Paternity).

DownUnderNZer

It is my first time watching anything from her and 10 minutes in to it she is finally getting into the nitty gritty which is fantastic, but what I do not get is her reference to "other woman" and "cheating" when the sitters parents were "swingers".

No secrecy there and not really cheating as it was "consensual" between ALL parties involved. This is mentioned before the reading.

No need to refer to "other woman" at all as a HOUSE or in the extra area she sets up next to the last four as it is not about an "affair".

The reading is about a "paternity" question not anyone "cheating".

Also, the first four cards she discusses, on no houses at all she leans towards the "red haired" man being the sitter's "biological father" without looking at all areas. However, I do see "Snake" and "Heart"(if it is the card next to Snake) as cheating or an affair, but it is usually about another "woman" not another "man" and those two men cards are no where near those two cards. And again....it is not about cheating.

Where did she learn the Lenormand?

About 18 minutes in to it - she finally says "cheating" really is not a part of the reading, but why bring it up at all in the first place when those she is reading about were swingers. I feel, on her part, a bit irresponsible.


Am about to rewind and watch it again in case I missed something.....

Dog is not just "friend", Tower is not just "isolation", nor is Snake ONLY the "other woman" and as for "Lily" on the house of "Coffin" being DEATH. :bugeyed:

Deep breath in - deep breath out.

Making sense of what she is saying is difficult as she is all over the place and a different way of reading is about right.


Note to self: No Lenormand readings with Donnaleigh based on that one video.

DND :(

Pay attention to when she talks about the LILY on COFFIN.

There is this slight pause as though floundering over its meaning and then she says DEATH as it is above the MAN (other) card which seems convenient rather than what it really could possibly mean if she actually related it to the focus question. It was already established that he died and does not mean he is dead just because those cards are above him.

LILY is looked upon as a funeral flower I suppose, so maybe that is what she is doing.

Another thing I noticed is sometimes she seems to mix the "French" and "German" systems in that reading and that is rather curious. Am thinking what made me think both.

Bear as someone "female" is more German. Fish as sperm is new. Sun as exposure is new. Dog as friend could be both systems. Whip is sex in the French system whereas Lily is sex in the German one.

Donnaleigh mixes two systems in just that one reading plus has added some extras which are not either systems really.

Curious indeed as she has obviously self taught herself and probably from books and the internet.

you might be interested DND in this thread here that she is writing a Lenormand Book and it's out in 2017!

I learnt Lenormand (entirely accidentally) using the French tradition which I now seem to prefer but I do sometimes switch between them like her.

Hi there DND.

I learned from a handful of different resources - mainly from Malkiel (we miss you!!!) and Donnaleigh. I believe they spent a lot of effort on their videos and I, for one, appreciated every word, even if I disagreed sometimes on an interpretation or saw what I thought was a mistake. We each have our own styles and systems - whatever works for each of us. There is a wonderful reader named Fortune Buccholz (forgive me if that isn't spelled correctly) who says something like "there are no kipper police". I think that can be applied here too.

If you don't like how someone reads, maybe just ignore them. If someone's doing a reading for you, then I can see bringing it up. How would you feel if the shoe were on the other foot? None of us would ever have become professional readers if someone were hovering over us with a ruler. I read very much like Donnaleigh and none of my clients has complained. Honestly, I haven't carefully gone over your criticisms with a fine-tooth comb, and I am sure you have some valid points. I just felt that this was a little bit excessive.

What I was thinking as I was reading this thread was why did it seem to bother you so much? If you really want to, I believe you can contact her via YouTube. It's nothing personal DND. I believe Donnaleigh is a respected member of the Lenormand community and she doesn't seem to be around to defend herself.

Thanks for your time.

I think I do have every right as it is like discussing a book.

Bringing up "cheating" and the "other woman" in that reading as much as she did was off topic and not necessary and she used the Whip as sex. That is French. Bear as famale is German.

I learnt from two German women and one was a traditionalist like Andy B...the other did the French system. Did come come across Andy too on AT and it is unfortunate he was a stickler for tradition as he was indeed knowlegable. Waste really because he did contribute greatly.

True about mistakes. Even he forgot the "near far" distance rule once.

I have not seen two systems used at the same time and I doubt Andy B would mix German meanings with French ones. And he knows the cards that differ in meaning just like me.

To me Donnaleigh seems nice enough, but that GT is all over the place and there is too much on unnecessary points which are not relevant to all of those consenting swingers.

If that sitter had not known it - that reading would have likely put her parents and the other two in a totally different light.

And Donnaleigh misses "medical" possibilities. Tower could easily mean hospital or an official record.

Eg Blood types could be one way to narrow it.

It was an interesting topic just not executed so well in my eyes.

I would probably give this a miss my dear danieljuk.

People have different ways of reading, but I do not think this book would be ideal for me.

As she has mixed it - Dog could also refer to a doctor and the letter could refer to tests. Eg Specialist referral.

Everything to do with paternity moreso than "friend" or "isolation".

Dog is not just friend and letter is not just emails or everyday letters.

Just my two cents worth.

Vital points or possibilities connected to the question were missed. That is how I see it.
