Winter Solstice 2023 – Yule Day Lenormand Reading

Yuletide Lenormand Reading with the Simply Christmas Lenormand

What aspect of yourself is seeking growth?

Cross and Letter – Communicating your struggles to others is something that you’ve always had difficulty with, and it results in you taking on more and more burden instead of it being distributed among those that could help. This is an area you still need to work on, for as much as you’ve improved in this area, you still have a long way to go.

How can you shed light on this aspect to allow for that growth?

Dog and Key – The key here is in trusting those that are loyal to you. Sharing your struggles and how you are doing with them opens you up to vulnerability.  It’s through those that are trusted and loyal that you are safe in opening up and sharing. Cast your attention their way.

What needs to be sacrificed to allow room for this growth?

Tree and Lady – Stop worrying so much about her health and well-being, and instead focus on your own.

Don’t Hide Yourself Away

Today’s meditation was skipped.

Marie Lenormand's Christmas OracleThroughout this month, I’m going to be mixing in some Lenormand and Oracle decks, just cuz I want to play with the fun Christmas themed decks, yeah? I don’t have enough time to do the divination challenges or all that, so I’ve decided to mix the different decks into my daily pull.

Today’s draw is the Lady and Garden cards. These cards speak of letting your inner “femininity” have more exposure in your life.  It’s okay to be soft, warm, and nurturing… and it’s okay for others to see these aspects of you.

It can be hard sometimes to allow our softer side be seen.  It can make us feel vulnerable or at risk. That’s what friends are for, though.  They are there to open up to and be vulnerable with, and there to help support and protect that vulnerability when you choose to show it. The message in today’s cards is to not lock up that part of yourself, but allow it out to shine as a part of your truth for all to see and acknowledge.  There is strength in wearing your heart on your sleeve and allowing people to see the true you.

Daily Self Kindness

I picked up a stuffed manicotti tray at CostCo for dinner, and a bag of mozzarella cheese to add on top (and I also added a bit of garlic salt). It was spectacular and I didn’t have to do anything but shove it in the oven for an hour and keep on working.

Le Tirage de la Balle dans le Pied Lenormand Reading

Le Tirage de la Balle dans le Pied Lenormand Reading with the Golden Dreams Lenormand

Pourquoi est ce que j’ai envie de nuire à cette personne en médisant?
(Eng: Why do I want to harm this person by backbiting?)

Coffin and Ship – Because you want this person to no longer be a part of your life. Not by cutting them out of it, but by having them leave of their own volition. You don’t want disruptive change to be a part of the process… you just want them to go.

Qu’est ce que cette envie / attitude révèle à propos de mes insécurités?
(Eng: What does this craving/attitude reveal about my insecurities?)

Clouds and Bear – They create uncertainty and instability in your life and the lives of those around you. This, in turn, causes a defensive reaction within you to rise up in order to protect what you value from being further polluted by that instability and uncertainty.

Comment est ce que cela pourrait se returner contre moi en modifiant la manière dont je suis perçu.e?
(Eng: How could this backfire on me by changing the way I am perceived?)

Balloon and Scythe – You could end up looking a good deal more cutthroat and vicious if you were to succeed. Consider if success in this desire of yours is really going to give you what you want, or if it will just be cutting yourself off at the ankles.

Trouble Winding Down Lenormand Reading

Trouble Winding Down Lenormand Reading with the Black Salt Lenormand

What part of me needs to relax?

Ring and Sun – Fun and positivity is easier to find when it isn’t forced. Stop trying s hard.  Yes, you need these aspects to be encouraged to flourish in your life in order to combat that negative inner narrative and your depression, but it doesn’t have to be so hard or complicated all the time.

What stands in the way of letting this part relax?

House and Clouds – Feelings of uncertainty lead to this unstable approach. You have a hard time trusting that this can be done without hard work. and you have a habit of hiding when things feel uncertain or awry instead of sharing with those that could help.

A different pathway to consider.

Whip and Birds – Consider the anxiety and backslide that could happen if you do not seek the help of others. Is this really what you want?

Beyond the Veil Lenormand Reading

Beyond the Veil Lenormand Reading with the Simply Halloween Lenormand

How can I best honor my ancestors and those that have come before me?

Letter and Cross – Communicate with them. Visit their resting places and spent time getting to know them. Not now when the veil is thin, but throughout the year.

What message(s) do my ancestors have for me?

Lady and Key – Spend time with those that remain (your mother), for she holds the key to all that has come before. If you want to learn about the past and history of your family, this is where you will find answers.

How can I best honor the spirits who guide and support me?

Birds and Moon – Again, communication is key. Hang out and chat with them so that they can become familiar voices in your life. Remember that not all of the spirits who guide and support you are ancestors.

What message(s) do the spirits have for me?

Heart and Bouquet – “We love you and only want good things for you.”

Trick or Treat Lenormand Reading

Trick or Treat Lenormand Reading with the Haunted Wonderland Lenormand

The Costume: What persona have I adopted? Is it serving me?

Birds and Stork – Displaying the ability and tendency to act, react, and adapt quickly, especially in response to instinct or intuition, and sometimes making this appear effortless to onlookers. Although this serves you well, it does not allow for depth.

The Darkness: What am I unable to see or recognize?

Dog and Child – At this time in your journey, you are unable to see and/or confront the child within you that is lost and aches for the freedom to trust freely, and unconditional love and support from others.

The Moon: What will illuminate my journey forward?

Fox and Whip – Make sure you are not being too clever for your own good.  Sometimes the simple approach is the best, and allows for success to flourish where a more clever strategy could backfire.

The Outcome: Will I receive a trick or a treat on this path?

Heart and Tower – Trick.  Make sure that you are not closing yourself away from others out of a fear of feeling and/or being vulnerable. You are not an island, so make sure you are not treating yourself as such.
