Learn About Cartomancy (Lenormand Part 1)
2025-09-29 09:30 - 10:30
The Cartomancy Series is an introduction to the practice of card reading.

Originally, normal playing cards were used for divination purposes. From those origins, three major approaches to Cartomancy are now practiced in modern times. These approaches are the Tarot cards, the Lenormand cards and the Oracle cards. In this course, we will be focusing on the Lenormand cards, which are easier for beginners to understand and read as compared to Tarot Cards.
