Here, was an interesting daily draw from Saturday.
The Lily and the Bouquet combine to give the meaning of contentment and joy….peace of the heart.
The Bouquet and the Key can mean incredible success! So again, the cards are hinting that things are going to change rapidly.
The Lily, for me, also represents a gray or white haired man, or an older gentleman. One is my ex, and this doesn’t relate! lol The other gent I haven’t met yet, but have talked on the phone. He is a very successful business man who had me do a series of readings recently.
In them, there had been some trouble with money and banking on one deal, and incredible success and fortune with another he had me look at.
He is now on his way across the world to finish the deal that the cards had said would go well…. I’m hoping that this draw refers to incredible success for him!
Otherwise, both the Lily and the Bouquet could be people, possibly my ex and myself. The Key then might show a solution/resolution being made between us. The Key brings unexpected answers to problems…..that would be nice as well.
I got to the point, where I almost dreaded posting something here – (what an awful thing to say!) I have had a LONG drawn out series of readings that only had to do with my husband’s legal case, and frankly, not only was I sick to death of it…..but getting angry at the cards for showing nothing else!
They have been correct on showing the delays and troubles that we’ve had, so I should be happy when the cards show happy resolutions of this matter.
I just want to say WHEN?? WHICH YEAR?? lol My patience has run out, I’m tired and stressed out. What I’ve found recently, is that since this has been the most important issue in our lives for awhile, it’s all it wants to show! This means that dailies didn’t stay that way, they showed trends instead….very very frustrating.
Having said that, this was the draw I had a few days ago: Sun and Bear shows victory and great success with money coming….and the Tower, in this case, refers to legal.
The defendant has until this Friday (the 13th!) to pay, or face the judge for perjury. So maybe, just maybe, this about to come to an end.
Once this matter finally does come to and end, I think I will need to re-program some of my associations with the cards…and that goes for all my different decks, not just the Lenormand. Who will be the snake lady, after this snake lady is gone? lol Hopefully no one, at least not for a very long time 
This was a draw from Friday October 16th.
The Storks shows movement, or improvements around something.
The Ship/Bear seem to say foreign money, or money at a distance…
Sylvie Steinbach gives these meanings to the Ship/Bear: money transfer, international investments, foreign currency. I didn’t realise at the time how correct this was.
We received word on Saturday, and again today that there is a transfer taking place of foreign funds on Monday morning!
I’m going to have to remember to think of the Storks card as sometimes being like the Journey card in the Kipper deck; showing action/movement…
I had mentioned in a reading using the Gypsy cards on The Card Lover, that I would receive a gift that would bring unexpected joy. I didn’t believe it at the time, to be honest mainly because I couldn’t think of anyone or anything.
The next day I got the really unexpected joy of finding out that a friend of mine had ordered something to be sent to me, but I didn’t know what. She gifted me with my very own copy of the Lenormand Arlo deck! To say I am tickled pink would be putting it mildly. I just love the illustrations on this simple, traditional deck.
Arlo and his wife Christine, are the wonderful team behind Lavengro. Be sure to check out their other unique items.
I will be featuring this wonderful deck regularly ~ I love it so much that I’m being exclusive with it, lol, I don’t want anyone else fiddling with it!
Fox – Rider – Bouquet:
The Rider/Bouquet combination heralds wonderful news! The Fox card, for me, has to do with work/employment. I grinned when I saw these and crossed my fingers, that we would finally be receiving the happy news we’ve been waiting for .
I drew these Wednesday morning, I think, just before I sprained my ankle……only a few minutes ago I actually received the news: the bank has cleared the funds and they should be transferred on Monday! so being in limbo is about to come to an end! hooray! Work is going to begin in earnest, next week.
The cards have been insisting that good changes were on the horizon, sometimes it’s just hard to be patient
Best wishes,

I’ve had an unexpected absence…one that only cryptically showed up in any of my card systems, surprisingly!
A couple of days ago, as I was walking from the hallway to the family room, I made a misstep on the small riser and went flying through the air into the family room. My ankle completely gave way and I spent an agonising 1/2 hour curled up on the floor with my husband giving me Reiki.
My dreams had shown me being out of commission (actually in the hospital!) but luckily, I seem to be managing with it wrapped and walking carefully with a cane.
When you push too hard, and don’t take time to rest and nurture yourself, the Universe will slow you down one way or another! I didn’t take heed to the warning and am paying the consequences oh well.
On to a post about cards!
~Spiritsong
I drew these just the other day, and I’m still not sure about them!
The Rider is news coming, or someone new coming into my sphere.
It’s the possibilities with the Lily & Book that make me wonder. It makes me think of extensive knowledge, or pleasing knowledge.
Traditionally it’s the combo for a librarian as well! Am I simply going to meet a librarian, or a researcher? or a learned gentleman who possibly is a bit older and has gray hair?? lol You never know!
Simply strung out as a sentence this could say that I’m going to be receiving very pleasing, satisfying news that comes as a bit of a surprise.
The Lily card representing a gentleman, could in our case either my ex-husband, or the other parties’ lawyer; so maybe we’re going to hear from one of those men shortly.
I hope for the surprising pleasing news, frankly! I need a lift!
update: I didn’t meet a librarian or researcher especially since I was incapacitated with my ankle and unable to go anywhere; but this did come true in 3 different ways.
1) there was pleasing news from a male around a project (business partner)
2) I did end up receiving a surprising (and thoughtful) email from my ex-husband, who is represented often by the Lily card.
3) and here’s a new twist on the Lily/Book combination: it popped into my head that this could also mean “Ancient Wisdom” or the “occult“! I was very excited about this meaning and wrote it down in my journal.
Two days after posting this, I was able to get a membership to an “occult” sharing group online that’s very hard to get into They had lots of goodies I was eager to look at, and couldn’t believe my luck at getting in.
The Rider/Lily/Book combination describes this event perfectly!
I drew these on October 11. I played with all the possibilities, maybe a small family trip in the car? Moving home shortly? haha
House/Ship can denote “moving away” & Ship/Child can refer to a foreign born child, or a child at a distance from us.
My first thought was that the house was talking about family, and specifically about one of the kids who lives far away.
At the very least, I thought we might be hearing about one of my husband’s daughters in England.
Sure enough, late last night (Oct 12), my husband received a very terse email from the mother of his 10 year old daughter saying that she was cutting off webcam visits! We normally play Nintendo DS games with her once a week while visiting on webcam. The mother was angry about late payments and said “that’s it”. Nice. She knows our circumstances at the moment, so I thought that was pretty mean.
No matter what issues I’ve had with my children’s father in the past, I never used my children in that way. They’re relationship was just that, theirs, and I never interfered with them.
This too shall pass
The Letter refers to either news on the way, or documents…..Crossroads tells me that I’m either facing a choice between two things, or there are multiples involved.
Crossroads combined with the Bear hints at multiple sources of cash flow….(hmmm, I’d settle for one at the moment!)
Most likely we are presented with paperwork or news that needs a decision from us, which leads to money coming our way.
Today is the the Debtor’s Exam for the defendant in my husband’s legal case….maybe they will present an offer rather than being grilled. We shall see.
I wanted to bring to your attention the work of a very talented artist. He is a member of another cartomancy forum that I frequent and I’m continually inspired by his work.
He has just created a very simple, but elegant Lenormand deck that I thought you might be interested in. It’s called the Lenormand Arlo.
Arlo has also made an array of absolutely breathtaking boxes for your tarot and oracle card collections.
Here is an example:
As soon as I am in funds, I plan on obtaining a deck and one of his gorgeous boxes
Check out his and his wife’s Etsy store here.
Garden/Heart…..makes me think of going out somewhere that is pleasing, or possibly romantic?? haha it’s been a long time. A romantic dinner, or a romantic movie…. it is also the combination of an engagement party or wedding.
Very possibly I will hear of a woman getting married….
Woman/Garden describes a woman who is sociable; maybe I find myself socializing in some way that I really enjoy. (I’ve been living the life of a Hermit for a very long time) -
We shall see!
Although the first card seems to be a dagger (?!) it’s equivalent to the (11)Whips card in more traditional decks.
These were drawn first thing this morning, and I told my husband to remember that very often, a daily draw is mundane. He’s always trying to attach more meaning to them than they should have! It seemed to me that this was describing a man we might meet.
A physically fit/handsome man who is also learned/smart. We had no plans to leave the house today, so we just shrugged our shoulders on this one.
Maybe an hour later, a strange car drove into our driveway and the doorbell rang. I was very surprised to be greeted by a very handsome, physically fit German man who noticed our “For Sale” sign. He is looking for a place situated on the lake, and discovered our house while driving around.
As we talked, it was very evident that the man is very bright and successful. He owns an oceanfront property as well.
So our draw came true, even though we never made it out of our driveway! I like it when draws are succint and quick:)
These 4 cards were the Trigger row of a reading I did this morning with Madame Seaqueen’s Trigger Spread. It shows the crux of what the reading was about.
The Bouquet card is either describing the Woman or is an action card. Since it is my reading, I hope it is both! lol
Describing the woman, she is a kind lovely woman…good energy as a separate descriptor it could be saying that she is receiving a gift, or a wish is coming true; the two remaining cards tell what about.
The Lily and the Moon read separately would say to me that the woman (me) is going to be given the gift of emotional peace/serenity; calmer waters are coming.
It’s in combining them that my eyebrows raised, especially because of the remainder of the reading. The Lily/Moon combination describes clairvoyance, meditative spiritual experiences. It’s the combination that denotes visions and psychic experiences.
I have had drawings recently showing my impatience and angst at having that part of my life seemingly to have gone on sabbatical for awhile, and once you’re used to having visions and other experiences, you miss them when they’re gone!!! at least I have:)
I have been offline because of personal pressure and stress. I didn’t feel that I had much to write about, frankly. I don’t know about you, but when I’m really ‘off’ personally, my connection to the cards goes off too. So I’ve been silent.
In the last week, especially, I’ve noticed while I’ve retreated, that I’m starting to experience little things again. I’ve been seeing auras each day, and have been seeing beautiful colored spheres of light at night. I’ve also been hearing things ( in a good way) – so it’s very possible that I’m about to have some kind of spiritual experience that will be noteworthy and the cards are letting me know it. There was a hint in the reading that this experience is linked to an emotional crisis/or upset. I don’t like that, but will report back once I know more.
Please forgive my absence as of late, but I’ve really needed to pull in my energy. I’m a bit in Hermit mode this too shall pass and then I will breathe new life into my cartomancy.
fondest wishes,
Spiritsong
These 3 cards were part of a larger spread, in the position of what is about to leave.
The Mice and the Whips describe perfectly the state that my family has been in for quite some time: chronic stress. It could also represent stressful activity, or stress caused by arguements or a dispute.
The last card, the Key is welcome relief, literally. It says that there is about to be a resolution to the situation that has caused long term suffering. The Key says we’ve arrived, this is it! fate is about to take a whirl.
Now funny enough, I just posted an Oracle Ge reading over on my sister blog, about psychic matters. This almost could mirror that reading, in that the Key represents the Third Eye and clairvoyance. I wrote about my upset on what I perceived as delays. The Mice and Whips could have also been referring to my extended angst over this matter…but thankfully again it’s on the verge of leaving.
Being that the rest of the reading was on more physical matters, the latter is probably not relevant, but I note it anyway
The Bear and the Sun are fantastic to see! There’s financial success, financial prosperity! but what makes me laugh is that it comes as somewhat as a “surprise”. I’ve been writing about it for some time, but it’s not arrived when we thought it would; so although the cards have shown us that money was coming, it still feels like a surprise
Another way to look at the Book is in combination with the Bear, which brings to mind a financial consultant. This person is successful in their endeavor, which in turn means we will have more money too. I can say the last assumption not from anything in the cards, but because our financial consultant friend owes us some money, and if he’s got the Sun, then we’ll benefit from it.
Either way, not a bad draw for a foggy, damp morning
Funny enough, as I was about to press the ‘publish’ button, I looked at the Bear again and I had a thought. The Bear can have to do with nutrition and diets. I have been thinking alot lately about a starting a new eating plan to release some weight. This could be saying that what I’m reading and studying about at the moment would be successful for me…….I’m definitely in Book/studying mode, not Whips/action mode! lol but maybe the cards are encouraging me in this direction:)
It’s been a crazy time, that’s the only way to put it. I’m glad I have such a dogged determination to keep my focus on what is wanted, rather than what ‘is’.
These cards were so good this morning, that I just had to share:)
Storks brings changes, sometimes even moves. The Storks with the Clover shows really positive, lucky changes. There is some kind of an improvement…..and then, ending with the Sun, well! These changes bring happy times, success.
Interestingly, Clover+Sun can refer to overnight success; such a sudden change in fortune.
I had these 3 cards show up in the Immediate Future position of a Trigger Spread, and the rest of the reading was pretty darn good too- so I get the feeling that this coming week is going to have some interesting developments.
