1846 Original Lenormand Instructions

surrounded by unlucky cards, brings good news, which the Person may
expect, either from his own house or from abroad; this will, however,

issue.

No. 3. — THE SHIP, the Symbol of commerce, signi es great wealth,


which will be acquired by trade or inheritance; if near to the Person, it
means an early journey.

undertakings; and though the present position of the Person may be

those who surround him or her.
