Read Like the Devil: The Essential Course in Reading the Lenormand Oracle

This book is the third in a trilogy of books based on courses in cartomancy under the signature Read Like the Devil. It is packed with examples of student work and teacher feedback. Camelia Elias lives up to her reputation of a cartomantic martial artist, taking no prisoners. Her cuts through misunderstandings and misinterpretations are clean, leaving the serious student of cartomancy with a sense of wonder. The aim is to establish a top-level cartomancy that gives the possibility for all students of the Lenormand Oracle cards to reach the level of competence where they are beyond comparison, in a league of their own.

This course book offers rigorous deconstructions and revisions of traditional approaches to reading the Lenormand cards, establishing a unique, oracular voice that's efficient, convincing, and poetic. The fortuneteller that emerges from these pages is analytical, deductively logical, and contextually situated. Her Read like the Devil method fuses the obvious with an incisively penetrating Zen clarity.

In addition to method and technique, the book features extensive in-depth readings of the grand tableau, demonstrating dazzling detective skills that emphasize the beauty of interpretation at its finest expression.
