Lenormand Houses laying

The Lenormand Houses laying is based on the old Master Method that used to be done with ordinary playing cards. Over the years, the Houses have been adapted to the Lenormand cards.

After all, the Lenormand cards were designed only after the death of mademoiselle Lenormand. She herself worked with regular playing cards that she herself had given special meanings to.

Nevertheless, the Lenormand Houses system turns out to be downright brilliant. The combinations of the Houses and the cards that fall on them are, in a word, genius.

Some call the Lenormand House System 'the Grand Tableau laying' but this is a very different kind of reading.

As you may know, the Lenormand deck consists of 36 cards. In the Lenormand Houses laying, a tray is laid out on which all 36 cards are depicted, or at least the names of all 36 cards. These are the 36 Houses. These Houses are the starting point of the reading.
