Maria Anna Adelaide Lenormand (Le Normand or Lenormand) was born on May 27, 1772 in Alençon, a small town fifty leagues from Paris. Her father was a wealthy textile merchant. Even in the boarding school of the Benedictine monastery, where her father sent her, she became famous for her successful predictions: for example, the boss, to whom little Mary predicted that she would not be long in the monastery, was indeed soon transferred to another place.

With the death of his father, the wealth in the family ended, and the Lenormans moved to Paris. There she first worked as a saleswoman, but soon her unusual talent for fortune-telling manifested itself, and in 1790, together with her friend, she opened her own "salon" on the Rue de Tournon, in which she predicted fate to willing ladies and gentlemen using cards, astrology and other methods.

In the very near future, the salon of Mademoiselle Lenormand gained immense popularity. All the “light” of the then revolutionary Paris stayed in it. In 1793 Marat, Saint-Just and Pobespierre visited the salon. She predicted a violent death to all three. And so it happened: Jean-Paul Marat was mortally wounded by Charlotte Corday a few months later, and two others were arrested and executed a year later.

But the greatest fame, of course, was brought to Marie Lenormand by her friendship with Josephine Beauharnais, the wife of the young General Bonaparte. At the first meeting, the fortune teller predicted her a crown. Neither Josephine nor Napoleon himself then believed the fortune-teller, but ten years had not passed before the fortune-telling came true. Having come to power, Napoleon did not forget the lucky soothsayer: he presented her with a million francs, and she became the personal fortuneteller of Empress Josephine. And she predicted not only a divorce from Napoleon, but even the defeat of the French army in Russia.

The cards used by Maria Lenormand during divination were the most common. Only she had her own interpretation, largely based on the rules of divination introduced by Eteyla. After her death (1843), no special cards, let alone notes on divination, survived, although Lenormand wrote a lot.

The most successful reconstruction of the system of Maria Lenormand was undertaken by the Flemish fortuneteller Erna Drusbeke. Erna Drusbeke van Enge was born in 1952 in Antwerp to a Belgian-Dutch family. She is an artist, and she has been drawing different maps since childhood. She owns a divination system (and a deck) called the Isis Tarot. Interested in the history of Maria Lenormand, Erna Drusbeke, herself possessing good occult abilities, tried to restore her system of divination according to the memoirs of her contemporaries.

When divining the direct and inverted position of the cards, Ern Drusbeke does not take into account. To facilitate the work of intuition, Erna Drusbeke provided 36 cards of an ordinary French deck with symbolic drawings, the interpretation of which is not difficult: it is clear that the sun means joy, warmth and light, the ring means marriage, and the cross means suffering.

For the interpretation of any card, it is also important which cards surround it. So, the relatively neutral card "Clover", meaning expectation or hope, in combination with "Clouds", "Mountain" and "Snake" portends trouble, and with "Garden", "Fish" or "Bouquet" - success and good luck.

For those who are not yet familiar with the French Sibyl - Maria Lenormand, we offer a brief excursion into her life. Mary's name is widely known outside of France. After all, it was she who foretold the Russian Decembrists Pavel Pestel and Sergei Muravyov-Apostol death on the gallows, which at that time was not used at all in Russia. It was she who foretold glory, crown and wealth to Napoleon Bonaparte, and then defeat, exile and death alone, after he parted with Josephine, a woman sent to him from above. It was she who predicted the imminent death of the Russian Emperor Alexander the First, if he did not abdicate, It was she who informed Marie Antoinette that she had very little time left to live, and ahead was the guillotine. It was the French Sibyl who revealed the terrible news to Marat, Robespierre and Saint-Just, the greatest figures of the French Revolution, that a violent death awaits them. Thanks to such terrible predictions that always came true, Maria Lenormand was nicknamed the Black Mary.

Lenormand, born in 1772, was brought up in a Benedictine convent. That's where her parents sent her. The girl was ugly: skewed shoulders, legs of different lengths. It was for this reason that she, away from sin, was sent to be raised by sister nuns. By the age of sixteen, Maria had studied all the books on numerology and magic available in the monastery. It was at this age, and maybe even earlier, that she began to fulfill her first predictions. A deck of cards helped her in this, which Maria felt, in the literal sense of the word. The cards spoke to the soothsayer. So far, no one has been able to explain this phenomenon. However, the fact remains.

On the methods of divination on the cards of Madame Lenormand

Before proceeding to the description of various types of divination according to the Lenormand system, I would like to make a small digression.

The examples that will be given below deliberately begin with a description of simple divination methods so that even an unprepared person can understand the divination system using a deck of cards developed by a famous soothsayer. And it really is not as difficult as it might seem at first glance.

Using simple layouts, over time, you can get used to this unusual deck and remember the meaning of each card. The thing is, with what desire and interest to approach divination, the process of which is somewhat similar to creativity and affects the very depths of the human "I". Therefore, when picking up cards, you must not only want to know the future, but also try to release all the power of intuition and imagination, listening to your inner feelings. This approach will help you understand what the cards want to say in the best way, especially since the images on the cards, as mentioned above, are very conducive to this, that is, they are largely associative.

Next, fortune-telling methods for every taste will be presented, giving the opportunity to know your future. For beginners, the simplest divination by desire is suitable, where only one card can tell you what to expect next and how to act in order to avoid danger or not be caught off guard by impending troubles. At the same time, guessing for the future, a beginner can get acquainted with combinations of cards, as they are laid out in order one after another.

In addition, fortune-telling will be described, which will certainly interest people who want to find their other half or simply want to know what to expect from this or that person entering their life. In this they will be helped by simple layouts for a new person or person.

We will also talk about such specific fortune-telling as the layout for finding the missing thing. It in itself is very interesting and not as difficult as it might seem at first glance, and a detailed description and a scheme for laying out cards will help to understand it.

And then it will be possible to move on to more complex layouts, such as small and large, or gypsy, alignment, which a beginner can start when he fully masters the basics of divination - the meaning and combinations of cards.

A simple divination for the future

Take a full deck of thirty-six cards and shuffle carefully, concentrating on your own thoughts and desires. Then start opening one card from the top, saying to yourself: "Ace, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, jack, queen, king." Without stopping to open the cards, after the king, continue the transfer, starting again with the ace. Those cards that match the names, put aside in order.

When the deck is over, start opening the cards from the very beginning, without shuffling them and continuing to pronounce the names in the same order.

After doing this three times, put the rest of the deck aside and begin to interpret the meaning of the matching cards based on their combination with each other.

Divination for a person

This is a fairly simple fortune-telling that will help you characterize a person. Find the Gentleman in the deck if you are guessing for a man, or the Lady if you are guessing for a woman, and place the desired card in the center of the table.

Focus on the image of this person. Then carefully shuffle the remaining cards and randomly draw three cards from the deck and place them around the key card. After that, you can open the cards and see their meaning.

Divination for a wish or for the future

This is quite an interesting way of divination. Take a deck of thirty-six cards and choose the card that corresponds to the current hour, that is, the desired number. For example, the Messenger is the first card, and it corresponds to the hour of the night, and the twenty-fourth card, the Heart, will end the day.

The center card will be the one that is drawn first. Put the deck face down, remove twelve cards from above, and put the thirteenth under the central one - this card will be responsible for the past. After that, shuffle the cards, again remove the thirteenth card and put it to the left of the central one - it will show the events taking place in a person’s life in the present. After counting the next thirteenth card, put it on the right - it will also point to the present. And finally, the last card drawn in this way must be placed on top of the central card - it will represent the future. When the cards run out during the countdown, you will have to take the ones that have already been worked out and, shuffling them, count the thirteenth card from among them.

Divination by desire

Shuffle the deck of thirty-six cards very carefully and, having made a wish and focusing on it, take out one card at random, which will be the answer to the question you asked and tell you whether the wish will come true.

Divination to search

This spread is specifically used to help find what is lost, whether it be a person or thing.

In this scenario, the designation of positions is based on the meaning of houses, which are accepted in astrology.

As in all other cases, before starting fortune-telling, you must carefully shuffle the cards.

But in the layout for the lost thing, there is one caveat - before you start shuffling the deck, you need to find a card that will symbolize the loss. How to do it?

When it comes to finding a person, you will need the following cards:

28. Gentleman;

13. Child.

Each of these cards will represent a man, a woman, or a child, respectively. But sometimes other maps are used to search for people, for example:

7. Snake - if you need to find an intruder or intruder;

14. Fox - find a deceiver, a rogue person;

15. Bear - find the missing boss or patron;

18. Dog - find a missing friend.

These cards will more accurately characterize the person you are looking for.

In addition, we often cannot find any thing, the fate of which is very worrying.

Other cards may serve this purpose. Here, some people have difficulty choosing the right cards, so it’s better to turn on the imagination and get creative in fortune-telling.

For those who still find it difficult, we can offer some ready-made notation.

1. Messenger - various means of communication (cell phone, fax, and the like), as well as all kinds of storage media (flash card, disk, etc.).

3. Ship - any means of transportation (cars and the like).

9. A bouquet of flowers is a universal card that can be used to designate any lost thing that means a lot to a person or is donated by someone.

11. Scythe - weapons and cutting or stabbing tools.

21. Mountain - precious or semi-precious stones.

25. Ring - any jewelry.

26. Book - actually a book or any other paper medium of information.

27. Letter - correspondence, letters, documents.

33. Key - the actual keys or other small metal objects.

34. Pisces - values, mostly money (if, in combination with this card, you choose, for example, any card of flowers - Clover, Bouquet of Flowers or Lilies, then in this way you can designate any beautiful thing or piece of art).

31. The sun - gold jewelry.

32. Moon - silver jewelry, any silver products.

After the desired card is selected, carefully shuffle the deck. Then the cards are laid out in threes for each of the twelve houses and opened until one of the houses contains the card you need.

It will be necessary to interpret information about the loss based on the combination of this card with two neighboring ones.


Map layout for search


Meaning of the Houses

The First House is the personal space of the one who has lost a thing.

Perhaps this is a house or room where this person spends a lot of time and also stores personal items. What is lost is very close and will definitely be found soon. The time that will be spent looking for things is calculated in hours or even minutes, and the direction in which to look is east.

The Second House - perhaps the thing that cannot be found is not lost in the literal sense of the word, but is lost among other personal items, or may be in a box or safe where cash is usually stored. As a rule, this House directly points to places where money, jewelry cases or other valuables are kept. The search also does not take too much time, you should look in the direction of the northeast.

The Third House is most likely a place belonging to acquaintances, neighbors or relatives, but it can also be a place of study. You should try to look for the lost item in places where books, letters, papers, and writing materials can be stored.

The item may also be in the mailbox, if it is correspondence, or in your own car. It will be found for only a few days, the direction is northeast.

The Fourth House is guaranteed to indicate that the lost is in your own home. It can be either a room where your elderly relatives live, or a kitchen or a place where there is land - a garden or vegetable garden. In addition, there is a possibility that the lost may be in the parental home or the home of close relatives. The thing will be found for several days, the direction is north.

Fifth House - the place of loss can be a children's room, and a place for entertainment and relaxation, and a bedroom, and in a broader sense - a theater, an exhibition, a gambling house, a disco, and even a place for secret meetings of lovers. It is noteworthy that this thing is not in plain sight and needs to be looked for more carefully than before. Search direction - north-north-west.

Sixth House - the place of loss could be a place of work or service, such as a government agency, hospital or clinic, and the room where meetings are held.

There is also a possibility that the thing is in your own house, but in a place that serves as a personal office. It is also possible that this is a place where pets are kept. To find a lost thing, you need to try hard and spend a lot of time searching for it. The direction in which you should look for it is west of the northwest.

Seventh House - the lost is in the personal belongings of your spouse or partner, or maybe a companion.

But more often than not, finding a thing in this House makes it clear that it is most likely stolen and its return to its rightful owner is very doubtful. The search direction is west.

The Eighth House is very unfavorable for loss. During the search for his thing, a person may be in serious danger, or the thing itself has already fallen into disrepair - dismantled or broken. Search direction - southwest.

Ninth House - the place of loss of the thing you are looking for can be a temple, institute or church. It may also be located in the boss's office or in a building belonging to a higher organization.

In any case, what you are looking for is very close. And, nevertheless, several months can be spent on searches. The direction in which you should look for your loss is south-southwest.

Tenth House - the missing thing is at your employers, at your workplace. However, it can be any place where you usually work or do business. The search in this case can last a few days, and the direction in which to search is south.

The Eleventh House represents the place where securities or financial documents are kept. True, there is a possibility that this place may be a club or any other institution where friends meet. It is possible that the lost item is in your own home and it makes sense to look for it in the living room. It can take weeks to find a lost item. The direction to look for is south-southeast.

Twelfth House - the missing thing is located in a remote, rather isolated place, perhaps where chemicals and various medicines are stored.

This House can be dangerous, as it represents secret enemies, hospitals and prisons. If the card you chose suddenly ended up in this house, then the chance of finding the loss is very small - it is well hidden. Look for it to the east of the southeast.

Map of the day

This is a fairly simple fortune-telling that will help determine what to expect in the very near future - a kind of forecast for the day. Shuffle the cards carefully and arrange them all around the circle in a clockwise direction. Then focus on your desire to know what to expect from the new day, and open the card that you are drawn to.

By interpreting the meaning of the chosen card, you will be able to determine what awaits you on this day.

Alignment for a new person entering life

Very often, when meeting or meeting someone, a person wonders what impression he made, what to expect from a new relationship, what other people think about it, what can happen in terms of feelings, friendship or partnership.

Lenormand cards will help answer these questions. To do this, you need to relax, clearly formulate your question and shuffle the cards.

The first card taken will answer the question: “What does this person think about me?”, the second - to the question: “How does this person (name) really feel about me?”, the third - to the question: “Will anything happen between us?".

It is the third card that will help get rid of the ambiguity in the relationship and clearly determine which direction the new acquaintance will take.

A simple layout for the situation

This layout is really very simple. In order to start fortune-telling, you need to take a form - the questioner's card - which will mean you or the person you are guessing for, and then, focusing on the problem, randomly select four cards from the deck and spread them around the form.

The first, topmost card will tell you what preceded the current situation.

The second card, to the left of the form, will show what options a person has in this situation. This may be an indication of some obstacles or help from the outside.

The third card, lying on the right, will reflect the wishes and plans of the fortuneteller. She can also suggest the answer to a question tormenting a person.

And finally, the fourth card shows the future and the result that should be expected after the resolution of the situation as a whole.

Complex layouts

Large, or gypsy, alignment on the small lasso Lenormand

This alignment is more complex, has separate interpretations and includes two methods.

Usually, the so-called big eight-card layout is used first, when they are laid out in four rows of eight cards each, and four more cards below. After that, if necessary, the second option for laying out the cards follows - in four rows of nine in each.

It is probably right to remind you that you should not lay out cards in two ways just out of curiosity. This is done only if the first scenario does not give exact answers and leaves many doubts.


Big alignment


Usually the gypsy layout gives a lot of information, and from this it follows that it is quite enough to lay out the cards in one of two ways and simply carefully interpret their combinations. Before starting fortune-telling and laying out cards, it is necessary to guess a specific time period of interest. And only after that you can begin to carefully shuffle the cards, remove them and lay them out according to one of the above schemes.

How to lay out cards - opening immediately or first upside down, and only then open - is of no fundamental importance, this is a matter of personal preference and habit.

In the gypsy spread, less attention is paid to how the cards fit together. It is much more important to consider in which House the card lies. Thus, the interpretation of divination depends not only on which House the other card is combined with, but also on which direction it is located. You need to count in order, starting from the very first, upper left card and moving to the right.

In the following figure, the first and last cards are marked (solid line), as well as the cards that will be located in the corners (dashed line).


1. As it is already clear from the above, the very first card will be the one that lies in the House of the Messenger. This combination - House + card - affects the whole layout as a whole.

2. Then, counting the cards from left to right in each row, you should look at the cards that are at the corners of the layout - these are 1, 8, 25 and 32. In this case, card 1 will be located in the upper left corner, card 8 in the upper right, card 25 on the bottom left and card 32 on the bottom right. These cards will indicate the fortuneteller to the present and the current life situation.

3. In the very center will be what a person has in his thoughts and in his heart and worries him at the moment.

4. Now look at the top row. The first four cards will show the future, which should be fulfilled within about a half month, and the remaining four following them, the future is more distant.

5. The bottom four cards, which come last, represent future global events that, most likely, cannot be prevented or changed in any way. These last cards are called Destiny cards.

6. Having decided on where the present and the future are, you need to find a “blank” card that will correspond to the person they are guessing: for a man, this is a Gentleman, and for a woman, a Lady. Find in which house the form lies, and also pay attention to what place it occupies in the layout. If it is shifted to the left, it means that a renewal awaits a person, important changes are coming in his life. This person plans his own future. In the case when the card is on the right side, a person lives in his past, which he does not want to let go, and does not plan for the future at all.

When the card is at the top, then emotions play an important role in a person’s life. Moreover, they guide him and influence absolutely everything he does.

The location of the form at the bottom, on the contrary, will tell you about a person who is guided by logic and makes reasonable, well-considered decisions. But sometimes it can mean that a person thinks too much, and this causes unnecessary doubt and delay.

7. The next step will be to review the personal and financial areas. Look for this information in the respective Houses.

8. To see how this or that situation will change, you should make a “knight’s move” from the desired card, that is, mentally draw the letter “G” and read the combination of cards. They will tell you exactly how events will develop.

10. To see what a person works for, you need to look at what cards will surround the Tower.

11. The father of the fortuneteller will be described by those cards that are between the Tower and the Bear, and between the Tower and the Snake you can read about the character of the mother.

12. The cards at the foot of the form speak of upcoming events and what a person will be doing in the near future. The map above his head reflects his thoughts.

13. According to the cards that are between the Gentleman and the Lady, you can read about the relationship of partners, or rather, what is happening to them at the moment. It is very important whether the cards of the partners are currently looking at each other or not, and how close they lie in the layout. All this helps to get additional information about their relationship.

If the results of fortune-telling did not bring satisfaction, you can lay out the cards nine in four rows.

In other words, the card that was in the ninth place must be moved up to the place after the eighth. The cards of the second row will move only one, i.e. where the ninth card was, the tenth will be. The same, without violating the order, will need to be done with the second, third and fourth row. You just need to remember that in the event that a new alignment is made, the Houses will no longer have an influence, only the place of the cards relative to each other is considered.

Small deal

For this divination, Madame Lenormand's original deck of cards is intended, in which there are more cards than in a regular deck, and each of them has its own meaning. But besides this, what the meaning of the card will be depends also on the place where it is located. This layout is ideal for you if you need to study a topic in more detail.

Before starting fortune-telling, be sure to focus on the situation and the image of the person if you are guessing to someone else. Then, first of all, you need to choose a form, that is, the card that will denote either you or the person you are guessing for.

For a woman, this will be a Lady card, for a man, respectively, a Gentleman. Next, randomly choosing cards from the deck, you need to lay them out in such a way that you get such positions as shown in the figure below.

There should be three positions - past, present and future.

Past - 9, 1, 16, 8, 7 and 15 cards. These cards will tell you about what preceded the situation in which the person found himself.

9 card - personifies external non-physical intervention - advice or idea.

1 card - personal ideas and hopes of a fortuneteller in the past.


Small layout


8 and 16 cards - the personification of the physical plane, the events that preceded the current situation and influenced it. In this case, the 8th card is considered stronger, because it is closest to the form.

7 card - the personification of past experiences, emotions and feelings.

15 card - a subconscious plan, actions that were interpreted by the inner "I".

Present - 10, 2, 6 and 14 cards. They talk about how a person feels at a given time.

10 and 2 cards are the feelings and thoughts of a person, while the 2 card has a greater influence than the 10 card.

6 and 14 cards - talk about what is happening in the soul, and reflect the person's feelings in relation to the current situation.

Future - 11, 3, 4, 12, 5, 13 cards that will open the veil of the future.

4 and 12 cards will tell about the main upcoming events of the physical plane, with 4 cards indicating the nearest events, and 14 cards - more distant ones.

3 card - a personal assessment of a person regarding the general situation.

11 card - public judgment about the situation.

5th and 13th cards - emotions and feelings in the future, while the 5th card will reflect stronger feelings and emotions than the 13th card.
