READ LIKE THE DEVIL VOL III
READ LIKE THE DEVIL: THE ESSENTIAL COURSE IN READING THE LENORMAND ORACLE
CAMELIA ELIAS
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, divination philosophy and method. The focus is on the Lenormand Oracle.
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 the 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.
The Lenormand Oracle set that is featured in this book is a reworked edition of A Helium Poet Lenormand, first published as a limited art deck in 2013 designed by the author. The second edition cards are produced as a separate companion to the book.

REVIEWS
This book and it’s author challenge you to push past your traditional concept of cartomancy. If you’re ready to REALLY read the cards, add to cart. — JIM ROBITAILLE, Amazon
In this book, Camelia Elias liberates Lenormand from the clutches of different ‘schools’ and brings us back to the cards themselves. Her reading style certainly won't be for everyone and if you’re looking for direct and quick instructions, lists of meanings and superstitions – look elsewhere. Elias is not into that. She is into thinking and seeing clearly, which is quite a difficult thing, but worth the effort. — FRANZ, Amazon
