The Celtic Lenormand Oracle: Woman or Lady?

More and more new decks offer several different Lady/Woman cards to choose from.? Whether you want to use them for same sex readings (not necessary, but an option), or simply decide which chimes most with you or your querent, I think these are interesting cards to have.?

There can be many reasons why one card might feel more relevant to us or our querents.? For example, in the Postmark Lenormand Melissa Hill chose to put different ethnicities on the optional Man and Woman cards.? Carrie Paris and Roz Foster offered historical delights, with Napoleon and Josephine as one possible couple in the Lenormand Revolution.? Ciro Marchetti also offers two versions of the Man and Woman cards in his Gilded Reverie Lenormand (soon to be released by US Games in a mass market edition!), one set more pensive, the other more up-front and personal, both beautiful!? The Shabby Chicness Lenormand offers multiple versions, from business-like to casual to famous :)

Given the Celtic Lenormand's theme of being based in the past of Celtic Brittany, having different ethnicities wasn't really an option.? Instead, I decided to go with a more activity-based differentiation - one more of a craftsperson or worker, one more of a leader or socialite.?

If you choose to leave both cards in when doing a reading, having the first come up (shown above) might suggest what is going on around your work-life.? Or if you are a white collar worker, perhaps it would show the influences around your craft-based hobbies or your family and home-life.? If the second came up (shown right), then that might indicate what is going on in your business, social or spiritual life.

If you are reading for a same-sex couple, you can decide which card resonates more with each partner, to quickly find them in the spread.? And you can always choose to just use whichever card feels most appropriate to the person having the reading, which might even change from one reading to another for the same person!

I'd love to hear if you have used any decks with multiple people cards.? What do you make of them, do you use them, and how do you choose?
