Preview The Essential Lenormand: Your Guide to Precise & Practical Fortunetelling
Rana George was born in Beirut, Lebanon. For more than two centuries, the maternal side of her family has had an unbroken line of powerful and well-known psychics, seers, and mediums. Her spiritual quest has led her to many teachers who have helped her hone and nurture her clairvoyant (seeing), clairaudient (hearing), clairsentient (feeling), and claircognizant (intuition) talents. Rana’s Lenormand journey spans three decades. From an early age she showed signs of clairaudience and clairvoyance, and she began using her inherent abilities and a pack of Lenormand cards to give readings to friends, family, and neighbors. The little oracle of thirty-six cards was one of only five items she brought with her when her family was forced to flee the tragedy of war and immigrate to America in early 1988. With her mother’s guidance and the loving help of her family, Rana has worked as a psychic, a medium, a teacher, a mentor, a fortuneteller, and a card reader, giving counsel to clients for a span of thirty years. She has been consulted on the design of several Lenormand decks and has published many articles on cartomancy. A respected presence in the modern divination community, Rana has led multiple Lenormand workshops and study groups, and she was a main presenter at multiple tarot conferences. She teaches a Lenormand podcast series, a free seminar for all levels of readers. Rana’s lifelong vocation is to inspire, guide, and help by putting the cards in people’s hands and helping them find the power to shuffle them well and deal them wisely. Now living in Texas, Rana enjoys spending quality time with her husband and three boys while continuing to study and teach internationally. For more information, please visit Rana George.com.
