Prediction lessons with Maria Lenormand
Gateway to the world of Lenormand cards
One day (it was a long time ago) I saw a small elegant deck of cards in the hands of a foreign colleague. By that time, I had already mastered the Arcana of the Tarot and knew many of their varieties, but I had never come across one like this.
- What is this? – I asked.
“Lenormand,” the colleague answered laconically, obviously implying that this concept should be known to everyone.
I didn't know it. Intrigued, I got myself such cards at the first opportunity - and spent many hours getting acquainted with drawings, images and interpretations that were new to me. And, to be honest, I enjoyed it immensely.
No, I haven’t abandoned the Arcana of the Tarot. I just realized that Tarot and Lenormand are different systems, and each has its own charm. Not “advantages and disadvantages”, but its own taste, like Eastern and Western cuisine.
Different divination systems correspond to different human characters. Or different moods. Or, finally, the specifics of the question being asked. A professional fortune teller must generally be proficient in several systems, if only in order to check and clarify the answer.
Maria Lenormand's cards are easy to use, easy to interpret and can create a good mood. They give a lot to both the student who holds the cards in his hands for the first time, and the master searching for the Truth.
Now I, too, will not part with Lenormand cards, as well as with the Tarot, and together with other readers I rejoice at new books in which the system of the famous French fortune-teller takes on new life. The author of this book, Anna Kotelnikova, has been working with this deck for a long time, teaching courses and gaining her experience - independent, independent of foreign traditions, meeting the living conditions and patterns of social consciousness in the modern Russian-speaking area. Moreover, this is not the first book where Anna explores the Lenormand system, gives examples of layouts and interpretations.
Her new book is different in that it is structured like a textbook, that is, in the form of a sequence of lessons “from simple to complex.” This is a manual using which you can master the Lenormand system step by step. And although this is, of course, easier with a teacher, the reader of the book will only need a little more work and time for the images of the deck to “speak” to him in his language.
In principle, the Lenormand deck, both Large and Small (in this book we are talking about the so-called Small deck, 36 cards), is as deep and “multi-layered” as Tarot or any other good fortune-telling system. With its help, depth psychological analysis, a philosophical interpretation of social life in any given country, and the study of karmic problems are possible.
However, it is not for nothing that the author adheres to the path “from simple to complex.” Without understanding the simplicity of Lenormand cards, it is impossible to understand their complexity. And this requires not only familiarity with their predictive values at an ordinary level, but also a creative approach, that is, trust in your intuition and practical experience, which everyone will have to accumulate on their own. This explains the structure of the book as a textbook and a guide for independent work.
This book opens the reader’s gateway to the world of Lenormand cards; the rest depends on him – and to some extent on the author of this book too. A start has been made, but what next? In a few years, when will students master the basics of the system and want to deepen their knowledge? Next, new books will be needed (and probably also courses and seminars) to reveal the next, more complex levels of meaning of Lenormand cards, to show their role as a means of meditation and self-organization, and perhaps to teach people how to “live” each one on their own. image, combining it with music, color, aroma - it’s not for nothing that Maria Lenormand herself was so keen on this! – and ultimately help people understand their role in the world around them.
Therefore, I would like to express to the author of the book not only gratitude for the good creative work that embodies a modern approach to these ancient maps (and, by the way, is quite worthy to stand on a par with the works of the best foreign authors), but also the hope that she will continue her research and that we will be able to continue our acquaintance with the Lenormand system in her future books.

Our first book, dedicated to the predictive system of Maria Lenormand, was published in 1997. Interest in it exceeded all expectations. The book went through several reprints and many pirated reprints. Answering questions from readers, there was a need to systematize and put in order the material accumulated over the years of teaching and working with this amazing predictive system. This is how the idea came up to publish a large textbook on working with Maria Lenormand’s cards, which could become a good teaching aid for beginners and a book containing interesting ideas and tips on practical work for specialists.
Acknowledgments
From the bottom of my heart I thank all the caring readers of previous books (“The Treasured Deck of Maria Lenormand” and “The Golden Legacy of Maria Lenormand”) for their wishes and comments. I am also very grateful to everyone who completed full-time and part-time studies and used the books as a teaching aid - their comments and suggestions provided an invaluable service.
Separately, I would like to thank Evgeniy Nikolaevich Kolesov for his help in preparing the materials, Alexey Lobanov for his warm support, and Alexander Kovalev for discussing the materials and interesting ideas.
I thank my husband, Alexey Kotelnikov, for his understanding and patience, for his active participation in the creation of this book, for the love that illuminates my life.
All material in the book is divided by topic into twelve lessons in the same order as it happens in face-to-face teaching. Only the material on the meanings of the cards is collected in one lesson, although it is usually studied over several lessons. This is done to make working with the book easier.
To successfully assimilate information, theoretical lectures alternate with practical exercises, so that you can immediately apply the acquired knowledge in practice.
By carefully studying each topic and doing your homework, in a few months you will be able to learn the basic principles of working with the Lenormand predictive system and use the acquired knowledge in everyday life.

The great French fortuneteller and her cards
Fortune telling is a fairly ancient activity, and there is no people on earth who do not have their own tradition of foreseeing the future. People always wanted to know what would happen to them. Ever since man gained intelligence, looking into the future has become one of the most important needs. The unknown is painful for the spirit: there is nothing worse than the unknown. The attitude towards fortunetellers and soothsayers has always been ambiguous - they were feared and idolized. At different times they were burned at the stake and lifted up, honoring them as mediators between God and people. In any case, the attitude towards them was special; they were always singled out from the crowd of “mere mortals”. The names of many soothsayers have sunk into oblivion, but the life stories of some of them have been preserved in the memory of descendants.
The most famous soothsayer of the 19th century. there was a French woman named Marie-Anne Adelaide Lenormand (Le Normand). She was born on May 27, 1772 in Alençon, a suburb of Paris, in the family of a wealthy textile merchant. Maria's arrival into the world was not the most successful - in the eighth month of pregnancy, the manufacturer's wife fell. This injury was a threat to the child's life. But miraculously the girl survived, although she was left with severe physical disabilities. They say that one of her legs was shorter than the other, and her left shoulder was higher than her right. She was often tormented by headaches, which foreshadowed either a change in the weather or someone's misfortune. Maria Anna felt early on that she was different from all the other children. A different world was revealed to her, inaudible and invisible to those around her. Often the visions were intertwined with reality, and her mother had serious fears for the health of her child. Nevertheless, Maria successfully completed her studies at the parish school at the Church of Notre-Dame de Bon-Secours, and as soon as the girl passed through the sacrament of first communion, her parents sent her to continue her studies at the Benedictine monastery.
Staying in the monastery had a decisive influence on the formation of Maria Anna's philosophy and relationship with the world. Unlike her peers, Lenormand spent all her free time in the monastery library among ancient manuscripts and treatises. The girl mastered the Latin language, learned the Old and New Testaments, learned the secret symbolism of numbers, and became acquainted with the secrets of plants.
She predicted the execution of Marie Antoinette and the wedding with the crowned person Josephine Beauharnais, the future wife of Napoleon, Russian Emperor Alexander I listened to her advice with attention. This great woman created her own system of fortune-telling and her own fortune-telling deck, which became one of the most popular in the world.
