I am a little confused. I thought that the literal meaning of a card is when it refers to the thing shown - Ring is a ring (or maybe a piece of jewelry). Fox would be a literal fox - like seeing a fox in your garden (Fox+Garden). Or like a person who asked in a forum for the meaning of Tree-Birds-Scythe and later that day reported that her favorite tree outside her window with all the birds in it (she had commented on it before) had just been cut down as it was actually on the neighbor's land. Now, to me, that's literalism!
However, most of the comments are about when the regular interpretive meanings of the cards have been right - Ring, a contract goes through. Or, Fox as someone being manipulative. Of course, I love when this happens and the examples have been great - but it is also what I expect to happen with Lenormand cards.
I don't always expect the exact literalisms and am usually delighted when they occur! Or have I mis-understood the word "literal"?
