Thank you Ronia for these combinations. They are certainly giving me food for thought and, as I am just starting with the Lenormand cards, this is a good thing.

Agreed! Ronia, you are da bomb!

printed these off and going to give them a try
thanks!

My pleasure, guys. The combos are certainly an idea but just that. I'll add Russian ones when I move and have internet again. Different schools/systems have sometimes very different approach, so I still think it's best to follow our gut feeling, especially with combos but it's a bit of information we may use anyways.
