Why don't more professional readers use Lenormand?

I wrote a post a few months ago that I was looking at Lenormand pro readers online who did it by email and a few of the tarot professional readers with big websites had added Lenormand but the Lenormand readings were always more than the Tarot for some reason. Like always about $10 more for each reading. Sometimes it was the same amount of cards ;)

Let's think about the logistics of this, doing a 3 card Lenormand reading is pretty easy, I think actually more easy than doing a 3 card Tarot reading and gives you great instant results. If I had to do a huge lot of people in a short space of time that is what I would use! But the larger Lenormand readings get more and more complex and more space/ time consuming, I think more than the tarot larger readings because of all the different directions. I don't read professionally, it's just a hobby for me :) But if I do a 3x3 Lenormand reading, that takes me approx an hour. If I do a Grand Tableau, I leave it laid out and spend a week doing it! It's really time and space consuming but goes so deep. I guess that professional readers can find ways of simplifying the GT, for example someone asks for a love related question and they just look at a few cards around that house. But you still have to have physical space to lay it all out. I fully understand why people charge high prices for that huge reading, it takes time and work.

I think that is why you don't see so many Lenormand readings compared to Tarot. I can't say about local differences between countries but I have never seen Lenormand done professionally in person yet. I am sure it is something that is growing and like Teheuti suggested, the general public have no idea what they are! Perhaps there isn't too much interest in it yet or it's a specialist thing still.

I would like to buy a GT though but maybe by email from someone willing to put the time into it, to look at many different areas and I would be willing to pay for that indepth reading. It's a new market for many countries :)

Hello,

Yes, I had a reading at a local psychic fair about six months ago, and at the end the reader used Lenormand. He used a lot of cards (a few too many if you ask me),

A Grand Tableau DOES use the whole deck....
