Michel de Nostredame, sixteenth-century French apothecary and seer,
was the most famous visionary of them all. In 1994, in the Italian
National Library in Rome, a manuscript believed to be by the man
himself was discovered along with 80 mysterious paintings drawing
heavily on the symbolism of the tarot. John Matthews and Wil
Kinghan realized the implications of this work and, after much
research, now bring it to fruition. For the first time, the
astounding power of the prophecies is married to the predictive
imagery of the Tarot. Fresh translations from the original
quatrains add another dimension to the readings making this,
without question, the ultimate oracle from the primary
prognosticator.
Legend has it that when preparing props for the James Bond film
Live and Let Die, producer Albert Broccoli commissioned Surrealist
maestro Salvador Dali to create a custom deck of tarot cards.
Inspired by his wife Gala, who nurtured his interest in mysticism,
Dali eagerly got to work, and continued the project of his own
accord when the contractual deal fell through. The work was
published in a limited art edition in 1984 that has since long sold
out, making Dali the first renowned painter to create a completely
new set of cards. Drawing on Western masterpieces from antiquity to
modernity (including some of his own), Dali seamlessly combined his
knowledge of the arcane with his unmistakable wit. The result is a
surreal kaleidoscope of European art history. TASCHEN resurrects
all 78 cards in a fresh celebration of Dali's inimitable custom
set, complete with a booklet by renowned German tarot author
Johannes Fiebig offering: an introduction to Dali's life and the
project's making-of a comprehensive explanation of each card's
composition, its meaning, and practical advice step-by-step
instructions on how to perform readings a jargon-free approach

A practical guide to fortune-telling with the Lenormand oracle
- Explores the meanings of the 36 Lenormand cards and their playing
card insets to help build a resourceful, interpretative vocabulary
- Provides instructions for many spreads, starting with 3 or 5
cards and building to the Grand Tableau spread, which uses all 36
cards
- Includes case histories for readers to interpret, self-tests, and
practice exercises
- Reveals the origins of the Lenormand oracle from both
coffee-ground symbols and playing card cartomancy
More than 200 years old, the 36 Lenormand cards are an oracle
combining standard playing cards with images from the everyday
world, such as key, book, animals, and flowers. Their simple,
predictive, and non-esoteric nature opens the realm of
fortune-telling to all, offering a traditional cartomantic
divination where card combinations fuse together to give clear
answers.
In this complete guide to Lenormand card reading, Caitlin Matthews
explains the multiple meanings for each card, providing keywords so
the reader can quickly build an interpretive vocabulary for
Lenormand fortune-telling. She details how to lay spreads, starting
with 3 or 5 cards and building to the Grand Tableau spread, which
uses all 36 cards. She explores the significance of the playing
card pips and suits on each card and how cards combine to create a
variety of meanings. Matthews enables readers to learn the
Lenormand card keywords so they can both read for themselves and
express their interpretations to clients. Providing real case
histories for readers to interpret, she also includes self-tests
and practice exercises with answers to check at the end of the
book.
In addition to her comprehensive practical introduction to the
Lenormand oracle, Matthews delves deeply into the history of
cartomancy to reveal the mythic blueprint that underlies this
simple deck, the key to which lies not in their imagery but in
their connection to playing cards.
