Five Card Draw

For today’s draw I decided to use the Isabel’s Traum Lenormand.  It’s a quirky looking deck that I don’t think is available anywhere but Germany at this point.  At any rate I happen to like it a lot.  I don’t know why.

Letter - Mice - Ship - Key - Sun

There aren’t many cards I like to see less than the Mice.  What I found to be particularly amusing about this draw was that I actually did have a dream (or traum if you will) about mice last night.  We had quite a problem with them this past winter and it took quite some time to get them out of our house.  I dreamt that they were back last night.  Ironic, no?

So – let’s look at this.

Letter (a message) Mice (loss) the Ship (a trip) the Key (success, yes) the sun (big luck).

At first glance it appears that a message about a trip that will be cancelled will be a great success and bring us good fortune.  The only trip we currently have planned is one to visit my family in just over two months time.  Now the ship can also relate to business (ships were once the main method of getting goods back and forth) so there could be another hidden “about that job” message in this draw.  So it could relate to my husband’s job offer falling through.  In that case, one might conclude that it is in fact for the best given the very positive sun card at the end of the line.  Now for the other card combinations.

Sun-letter (cards 1 and 5) A positive message and Mouse-Key (cards 2 and 4) could be “sure to fail or be lost”.  This to me is tempered because the key-sun would be “success is certain”  The other possibility that I could be overlooking is the letter-mouse combination suggesting that the message is lost…

I am not sure how I want to take this, although the mice are very powerful here to me because of my dream, but the end result should be for the best which I can take heart in.  The sun is also representative of the summer so I would think that there is a likelihood that I will be feeling much better about everything in the coming weeks.  I also wonder if the message will come during the daytime hours because the first thing I noted about the letter card this time was that the candle on the desk is not lit.

Relating to a trip though – it could also be that my flights may be cancelled and we will be re-booked for different times or days (we have had this happen before) and it will work out for the best.  That’s what’s so funny I think about reading cards.  The message *could* be something that is life changing, or it could be something completely mundane.  We shall see…
