Lenormand is not read in single cards as much as in the way the cards combine together to create unique blends. But before you can "cook the Lenormand recipe," you need to know each of the ingredients.
So here are some suggestions for card meanings. These are by no means comprehensive or complete, but a means to get you started. In acutal readings, each of the cards are impacted by the cards beside them. I am heavily influenced by the French systemof reading Lenormand.
