Divination and Digestive Drama

A cheeky little tale about the cards keeping it... a little too real.

Every Lenormand reader has that moment—the one that reminds you just how direct, literal, and unflinching these cards can be. They don’t always whisper. Sometimes, they holler.

I was wrapping up a reading for a lovely client—our first session as a matter of fact. As we were winding down, she asked if I could pull a few quick cards for her daughters. Just a general energy check, nothing too in-depth. I agreed, and we turned to the cards.

The first daughter’s reading was gentle and uneventful—light, clear, nothing raising alarms.

Then I pulled cards for her younger daughter.

The first two cards out: Mountain and Tree.

Now, for those unfamiliar, Mountain often points to a blockage or obstacle. Tree speaks of health, growth, and the body’s natural systems. Together, they struck me immediately.

I asked a question instead of a statement this time:
"Is there some sort of blockage to her health?"

The client didn’t miss a beat. She burst out laughing—not mocking, but that knowing, slightly-too-accurate kind of laugh.
“Oh yes,” she said. “She has chronic constipation that we’re actually seeing a doctor for.”

And there it was. Right there in the cards.

This wasn’t a metaphor. This wasn’t a vague symbolic warning. The cards weren’t hinting—they were naming it.

Moments like this are why I respect the Lenormand system so deeply. It’s not always subtle. It’s not always cryptic. Sometimes, it’s stunningly straightforward—offering clarity in just two cards. It also reminded me that children, even if the question is general, often come through with astonishingly physical, real-world concerns.

So, if you ever doubt the precision of your deck—remember the Mountain, the Tree, and the very literal truth hiding in plain sight.
