This is the classic Lenormand deck for the 21st century, now
reissued with a fresh design to showcase the amazing hand-painted
card illustrations that guide the diviner in solving problems,
learning what the future holds and developing intuition. The
traditional deck has been updated to make it as relevant as
possible to contemporary readers, including in the LGBT community:
the deck offers, for example, an extra Man card and an extra Woman
card to allow same-sex relationships to appear in readings. Another
extra card, the Divinator, allows the diviner themselves to appear
in a spread. Other updates to make the cards feel more relevant
today include reducing the original deck's reliance on Christian
imagery, for example by changing the name of the Cross card to the
Crossing, and replacing its crucifix artwork with a beautiful image
of bird wings over a bridge. Much used by the Roma, the Lenormand
cards are named after Marie-Anne Lenormand, a famous clairvoyant of
the 18th and 19th centuries who read for Napoleon and Josephine
Bonaparte. Fascinated by this evocative oracle, cartomancer and
Lenormand expert Caitlin Matthews commissioned simple yet profound
artwork to capture the authentic flavour of the antique decks. The
card illustrations are all hand-painted (rather than created as
digital montages), allowing each card to express its own character.
The accessible guidebook is suitable for a complete beginner to
card divination, but also offers new perspectives to existing
Lenormand users. There are detailed profiles of each card, as well
as practical advice on using layouts to ask for guidance on a
specific problem or to look at the bigger picture and discover true
purpose in life.

The Enchanted Lenormand Oracle deck
Wed, 25 Nov 2020 | Review
by: Emma R.
I've received this deck today, it's above and beyond what I expected when I ordered it. It's a small deck so fits easily into your hands, shuffles beautifully and ideal for Grand Tableu work. The pictures, pips and card numbers are visible at a glance, you get 2 x Gentleman and 2 Lady card's as well as an extra bonus card, the Cross is called the crossing and card no 37 = the diviner.
The guidebook you receive with it is well written and extra bonus spreads that I haven't seen before
Well worth buying
