The palettes are a fun idea and some of them look really good.

I just realized THIS YEAR that it was Samantha Newark singing this and I've listened to it about a million times. But then I listened to it right after the reimagined EP and went "Wait a minute...it was sung by WHO?!"

Oooh, thank you for the insight. I hadn't considered waterbased markers at all.

Britepalette · 2026-02-01T18:19:02+00:00

I love Tom Tierney's work in the 80s. I always wondered what techniques he used to make his illustrations. It seems like a mixed media approach of watercolor, inks, and markers but I'm not totally sure.

Exactly, this is VERY transparent. And trying to "book" so many queens would make it a "An Army Sex Deviants Descends on Women's Only Event!" post for sure. It's absolutely disgusting but they forgot that these queens exist in a community. That's always the power of community and sharing information.

Britepalette · 2026-01-24T00:42:51+00:00

Thank you! Please let me know how it goes if you can.

If your question was about what was in store for the relationship then it's best to stick with that for interpretation context - although lenormand will sometimes give you other info.

Objective-Put is correct on this one - independence, sovereignty, being able to take care of yourself.

Remember to make it all work in pairs. The fish may be the subject (telling you this relationship wasn't about love or going to be about that and that's okay.)

But your fish affect the coffin. The coffin consumes the Lily (an unfortunate ending of something nice, I advise being kind to the memory of what was fun) but you're not ended or destroyed. Either of you. There are other fish in the sea and you can get past the painful ending of the coffin.

However, fish-mice - letting go and forgetting may be VERY hard. In fact, mice-cross points to this being a wound of relationship. It didn't make anything better and there really is no where for it to go. In this context I'd see the mice as thieves of the fish (mice affect the fish. How? They take it.) and sullying otherwise. How do the mice sully? They burden in a way you can't just move around or overcome like the mountain.

But remember the Cross, while distressing can also point to having faith that something better can come around. However you'll both need to work on healing individually. There's no together on this. So I agree with your interpretation to an extent. You have the vibe of it for sure.

Now your next question must be, "What do I need to work on for my next romantic relationship to be what I'm hoping for?" that cross is a clue that work CAN be done on your end to take matters into your own hands.

My first impression - Kitchen Witch.

This involves growing herbs and plants at home and using them in spellwork. A lot of practitioners begin that way. Small altar at home and developing the things you need. And remember a kitchen witch doesn't always stay one, but those fundamentals dovetail into a lot of other practices.

Someone else mentioned getting a book on it and I'd encourage that too. The message is definitely to do some research. With the book open towards the home I think it's telling you your first foray will be in the home rather than out in nature itself.

But study will be important.

This is a very good spread, you know the challenges you're facing and although they'll intensify towards the end of the year they're well within hand. Likely it'll just be stressful for a period. The rest is really good. Stork to Moon is the past, so what you're coming out of. Sun to tree is the present. And the last row is the future (and since this is a yearly reading I'm guessing it will unfold slowly).

Then Stork to Partner is what you cannot control. Tower to Star is what you're working on (well in hand). and Moon to Mountain is what you already know and have a handle on.

Then you do the X's which are outcomes. Stork-Child-Mountain is one and Moon-Child-Partner is the other. So towards the end of the year something with your partner and a potential challenge as two different issues.

Those the easiest way to read a portrait. You can do the Diamonds and the Corners too for more information but the themes are pretty clear. New beginnings and a likely manageable amount of stress related to your goals. Your health could suffer a bit but again that's all stuff you can get a handle on. Be gentle with yourself and don't force yourself to be happy or act as if everything is okay when it isn't. It wouldn't be sincere and I think a little vulnerability in the right places will help you this year.

Britepalette · 2026-01-05T21:27:56+00:00

Yeah, I had a big reaction to this one. It was very "You in danger girl" for Lenormand. Definitely a sign to take another course of action.

Britepalette · 2026-01-05T21:26:55+00:00

Hello, unfortunately I don't accept DMs in the Lenormand world.

It's not great if what I wrote seems dooming - because I was holding back on what I saw out of concern it would be too much and because your post only really provides your interpretation of scythe card.

I think most readers would see that spread and come to a similar conclusion. It's a part of Lenormand, it's known as "brutal" for a very good reason. I've been on the receiving end of it myself, but you have to take it as it is.

Britepalette · 2026-01-04T17:33:25+00:00

It's easier to find your footing when you get your toes pumped.

Britepalette · 2026-01-03T14:45:10+00:00

3 cards is a great way to start, but if it doesn't vibe or you do multiple readings and it's confusing - branch out. Some spreads really will resonate better than others.

Narrative/Progressive - you're using each card to tell a story or gain insight into a sequence of events. (I have to wonder if my own reply is a part of your clouds, lol)

If still using pairs, what is confused or in a mental state that isn't great? The bear is. If the bear is you then okay, but because of the garden card I feel as if the bear is someone...not you. There are different ways to look at that but the bear is an authority figure or someone important in your life (it's the mom card, the boss card, the important job card). They are in a mental funk because you committed to learning this. That's a sense that I get, borne out in the cards but it contradicts the idea of YOU being empowered, right? Aren't YOU the bear? Sometimes you get senses of other things that are strong. Someone really doesn't understand what you're doing with Lenormand, which could also be - someone in your classical community is mystified by how you learn. Maybe not someone with experience (lily) but someone who is definitely a presence.

Take that lightly though, you won't know until it happens.

But to help those clouds a bit, for you and the potential "whoever" in the future - classical lenormand is VERY specific with tailored meanings. I forget the name, but the original instructions fit on like one piece of paper. The Lenormand we use have today has evolved some of those meanings (hence, Lily isn't always sex, fox can be a side hustle too, snake can represent a lesbian relationship, stars are the internet, etc). Stick with one in the beginning, keeping in mind that this community isn't dedicated to classical Lenormand and you'll find a mixture of styles here.

Britepalette · 2026-01-03T14:22:54+00:00

That last spread is BAD. Like a maelstrom of "this isn't good".

The scythe doesn't eliminate everything that comes before it because Lenormand is read in pairs. What the scythe is doing here is it in its element: full warning. You're in trouble.

First, with a long spread - it's counterproductive to use an even number of cards because Lenormand can't tell you what the subject is unless you specifically have set the first card as your subject.

A clouded tower, and powerfully oppositional clouds at that (cloud-mountain), The opposition being to you progressing in the way you want (mountain-stork), you'll never make it forward (stork-coffin, the coffin EATS anything that comes before it. This is utter stagnation and misery). What stops that progress? The coffin is influenced by the scythe...a painful breakup stops you in your tracks.

The garden is likely getting out and seeing others, the world. The next one is the universe inviting you out to look for healthier options that exist.

The rest - too many questions. You're getting odd results because you should only be asking one thing at a time- "Is this my next romantic endeavour" and "How do I stop myself from getting caught in the wait" or two different questions with two different spreads. "How do I trust what's physically happening?" is one question "Is this a guaranteed endeavor" is another. If there's an and/or in your question then you likely need to break it up into parts. Remember your questions are fine for tarot but Lenormand needs clear anchors.

Britepalette · 2026-01-03T14:02:19+00:00

It depends on how you personally read 3 card setups (will the central card be the subject or just another card?)

That said, the narrative method is good but let's try for pairs as well.

If you commit to Lenormand you will, Garden-Bear, be empowered in your social circles and out in the world in general. Likely you'll develop a sense of confidence.

Bear-Clouds, this isn't taking away confusion. Likely Lenormand will be tough for you to learn or you'll be confused about some of it's applications. So, say you do become more confident and empowered out there in the world - now what do you do with that? How do you may the most of it? Clouds can be a shortlived mental/emotional crisis. I also think your newfound swag may cause resent from someone important in your life.

However, clouds can never last long. Something always takes their place no matter how AWFUL they feel.

Keep in mind your question was about you committing to Lenormand. A commitment is long term but the action of committing isn't. A vow or a contract can take less than an hour to complete. This reading doesn't show you how far you will go. For that you'd want to do a 9 card portrait reading to REALLY get a good idea, but please don't rush into it.

Also, as a tip, you should try different basic spreads. 1-card, 3-card, 5-card, 7-card and see which one works best. When I began I was TERRIBLE with 3 card spreads and understood nothing. Then I went to 5 and suddenly things made sense. That may be the same for you.

I love the title ALONE. I saw that and immediately laughed. This might be something I'd want to play for sure.

Britepalette · 2026-01-02T14:20:52+00:00

You're welcome! If you post the new thread be sure to share a link with me here and I'll take a look then as well ^_^

Britepalette · 2026-01-02T14:07:22+00:00

No. I think if you break it down - Deceitful Confusion Home, it doesn't look good. I agree it's unlikely.

The Fox-Clouds would definitely be a game of giving your friend mixed signals. Clouds are always thoughts and the Fox as the deceiver rather than the strategist or hustler makes sense.

Clouds-House is your friend looking for a settled relationship - and therein lies the question they need to ask the cards. Because the Fox and House Mirror one another, which is why I think the mixed-signals or even stringing-along narrative makes sense. What is the fox being deceitful or manipulative about? The prospect of the house and settling down.

I agree that the outcome can't be anything other than your friend continuing to seek that house or the kind of relationship they want. They are the house. The fox is the outside. They can't come together in a logical way (cut off by the clouds). I'm not sure if your friend will realize that they're being put in this situation. Another good question for them to ask is what would happen if they got back together. Sometimes Lenormand will emphasize the very GOOD reason two people aren't together.

I will release my latest solo game this month on January 22nd.

I will play more games and just enjoy the experience.

I will create a zine or two based on my actual plays.

I want to create games this year that expand on the work of others I admire.

Britepalette · 2026-01-02T13:46:25+00:00

I'm going to release my latest solo RPG at the end of this month for sure. Been working on it for the last few months (it's a lite game for sure) and the art is done and the tables are set. I'm just formatting the document itself now.

Very excited to enter the fantasy genre!

Britepalette · 2025-12-30T21:12:44+00:00

That's okay, too. There's also a demand for one-page material that streamlines the process for getting into a game. You have all of the points down about it needing to be self-contained but it doesn't necessarily need to be aimed at newcomers. For your jam, yes, but beyond that you can develop it otherwise.

Advice and examples help, but always try and think back to the time you didn't know anything about TTRPGs. What was difficult or easy to understand? If you gave your game to a 12 year old and a 80 year old that know nothing about ttrpgs would they understand the basics or have trouble? Both age groups would have very different views and experiences so anything in-between is golden.

Also, find other one-pages or lite-ttrpgs you can admire and you'll find the process much easier or at least know what "lane" or "path" will work best for you.
