So with all this Lesmand talk, I decided to share two pulls I did last October (don't worry I still plan to answer the few reading requests that I got this week).
*I pulled on this question with two different decks. Sorry if the recordings are a little confusing. Let me know if you have any questions*
Question: How will the Lestat and Armand pairing be received in season 3 of IWTV/TVL? (Vampire Deck - pulled on Oct 2 2025)
Cards: 8 of pentacles, 10 of pentacles, 10 of swords, 5 of wands, 7 of wands, knight of swords, page of cups, the hanged man, King of cups (reversed)
The number two stands out to me in this pull. We got 2 pentacles cards, 2 wands cards, 2 cups cards and 2 sword cards. So we got 2 of each suit in the tarot deck. And isn't it interesting how most of them appear right next to each other. The two pentacle cards are right next to each other, the two wands cards are right next to each other. The swords cards are next to each other vertically. In tarot, two represents duality and balance. This again goes back to what I was saying in my recording: mixed results. 50/50.
Another thing, that stands out to me, is the energy of people trying to get others, to see the storyline from their side. This is conveyed explicitly with the 7 of wands card. It represents defending your ground and advocating for yourself. But then there is also the page of cups right next to the hangman. Pages are bearers of news and messages. So quite literally the page is presenting the hangman with this cup (of this Lesmand storyline) and the hangman is just not interested.
So listening back at my recording, I don't think I worded things the best. So I want to clarify that people liking the Lesmand storyline doesnāt necessarily mean the storyline will be framed as pro-Lesmand. In the same way, people disliking the Lesmand storyline doesnāt necessarily mean the show isnāt giving them moments together. Please keep that in mind as you listen to my reading. Actually, every time I say the word: pairing in the reading...replace that word with: storyline. So when I say people like the storyline, I mean whatever Lesmand storyline is being presented. And when I say people hate the storyline, I also mean whatever version of the story is being presented (whether it reads as pro or anti.) Does that make sense? If so, remember this for the pull with the animal deck s well.
Question: How will the Lestat and Armand pairing be received in season 3 of IWTV/TVL? (Animal Deck - pulled on Oct 2 2025)
Cards: 6 of pentacles, Justice, 9 of pentacles, 2 of wands, 8 of cups,
I'm not sure I was clear in the recording. The writers want viewers to feel a certain way about this storyline, and I think the first vertical row shows that. The 6 of Pentacles suggests that what you put in is what you get out. The 2 of Wands represents planning and strategy, and The Moon points to intuition and inner knowing. Together, these cards suggest the writers were very intentional with the energy and thought they put into this storyline, and they already know the kind of reaction they're likely to get from viewers. They're expecting the outcome.
The number 2 kinda has a pattern here as well: 2 of wands, Judgement (the 20th major arcana card) and Justice (the 11th major arcana card. Justice can also be viewed as a "2" card numerologically, since 1 + 1 = 2.Ā
How interesting is it...that the vampire deck pull ended with the King of Cups (reversed) showing something being unbalanced by the end. And the animal deck quite literally shows balance photos throughout the whole pull. The last balance card (8 of cups) showing everything coming crashing down. Again, I think this reinforces my first pull (vampire decK) was indicating an imbalance of what people are gonna think about the lesmand storyline by the end of the season. Either a lot of people are gonna like it. Or a lot of people are gonna hate it. There is no in between by the end of the season. And just because people hate it, doesn't mean it's anti Lesmand. And just because people like it, doesn't mean it's pro lesmand.
