I decided to return to the Lenormand today and my usual five card spread.
We have the scythe in an interesting position. The scythe generally is a “danger” card, but it also has a positive aspect. You may note that it is resting on what appears to be bundles of wheat. The wheat has been harvested by the scythe, so this card isn’t always negative. I initally wondered if our trip was going to be cancelled, but given that the cards are aspected more along the lines of business (the fish is generally a money card, the ship can also pertain to business and not simply travel and the bear also can be representative of a business man or official person) I would think it is more in that realm.
Since the fish card is behind the scythe (the sharp pointed end is facing away) it is possible that either we will have a sudden financial windfall or that money troubles are behind us. The scythe + ship could indicate sudden travel, or a sudden business decision. The bear and scythe could be telling me that someone’s boss is not safe or their position is in jeopardy. Combine the ship and bear, and we have another potential financial windfall suggestion, or possibly a large business dealing. The bear + cross indicates an important man or wealthy man. I’m not really clear on the fish and the cross combination, it makes me think of money going to or coming from a religious institution. I guess I’ll have to wait and see what comes of this.
I checked the bottom of the deck, just because I was curious and lo and behold, there was the coffin once again.
I thought tonight I would again try something different. This time (for me) it is totally new. To divert myself from the repetitive messages about affairs and jobs, I would ask “Who is here and how are you?”
What do I mean? Well, I believe you are never really alone (even when you think you are). Ever so often I like to ask if there is anyone visiting us from the other side. I have always felt strongly that I am watched over by my “ancestors”. Some people “visit” me more often than others, and I can tell very easily that they are around. But enough of this for the moment – here is the draw:
Ship - Dog - Fish - Child - Lady
As soon as I placed the last card I understood the message clearly. To some degree some of what I will say here is a break from tradition and is more in tune with my perception so bear with me…
The ship and the dog tell me this is a friend who has come a great distance to visit. My friend (dog) is a Pisces (fish) and so is the child, who in this case would be me (I will explain further in a moment). The child is a relative of the Lady, who is my friend that is visiting. The lady is foreign (lady + ship) or comes from a far away place. Now note the Dog and the Child – the Dog is watching the child and is separated by the fish – the friendly lady has always watched the child from a distance (I also noted the ship in the background of the fish card). The lady is my maternal Grandmother.
My mother’s mother passed away many years before I was born, which I have always been sad about. She came to the US from Italy as a child. She and I apparently had many things in common beside the same Sun sign. She was a very good writer (which I was back when I was a more avid reader), loved to laugh, was musically inclined and also read cards. We have the same hair color, and I also have her eyes. These are just a few examples given to me over the years…
My grandmother used to visit me as a child around twilight. I suffered great anxiety before bed and she comforted me. I used to call her the blue fairy, because she wore a blue dress (as does the Lady in the deck I chose). As an adult I wondered how I would respond if she came to visit me again, and two years ago I got my wish. Sadly for me, I was not ready. But I was very comforted again to know that she still watched over me and would come to me if she felt I needed her. I think about her often these days. She had wanted very much to have a son but was not able to. I am blessed with a wonderful boy who will be one in a matter of days. So I am even happier to know that she has come to see me again, and let me know in a way that is not so startling.
Ti amo, Nonna
