These are some of the decks I like:
http://www.kipper-karten.de/This is one that I'm learning currently. It's literal English translation is "Dump truck maps" which I used to think was hilarious.
This is the deck I am proficient with:
http://www.lenormand-wahrsagekarten.de/ ... e_eule.phpI had really wanted to learn a multiple deck method with this deck:
http://www.zigeuner-karten.de/verschiebeseite.phpAll of these decks have 36 cards. There are no reversals, it's more card combinations. I read linear five card rows and use each card (or set of cards) as a word or phrase with the entire row being a sentence (which is the answer to the posed question). This works very well for me.
I was never able to make much sense of it though. I was getting to the point where I was interested in combining more than one deck with the Lenormand cards and it was beginning to make sense, then I walked away from my cards for a while. It seems like I do better with honing methods in the Winter months. Not certain why that is.
Those are interesting. I like the medieval look of the last deck.
I tend to shuffle mine (though not very well, I am dyspraxic). If one or 2 fall out I put them in the spread... then I fan them out and choose some cards which appear to be jumping out at me. I always make sure the cards are right way up, I dont like reversals... then after I spread them in a line, or some other formation that takes my fancy, I just look at the cards, and try and think about what is coming up when I am looking at them. I sort of view the layout as being in a chronological order, with the right-most card being in the future and the left cards being the past or present.
