Antiquarian Lenormand: Resurrected Restock!

3/7/2022

Supposedly, I was going to retire this deck, but after many requests for me to reprint, I decided to do another short print run. Purchase here if you would like a copy. Your order supports my small business and helps keep these available. Thank you for supporting my self-published works!

This European-style divination deck, called Lenormand, features my handmade mixed-media collages that I created in 2013 for personal use. I used antique photographs, Victorian-style wallpaper, and illustrations from antiquarian books, hence the name Antiquarian Lenormand.

My visit to Musée Français de la Carte à Jouer, The French Playing Card Museum

10/11/2021

PictureFront & oldest part of the museum was formerly the Château d'Issy of the Princes of Conti.
While it's been a few years since I went to the Musée Français de la Carte à Jouer, it's about time I shared some photos of the tarot and Lenormand cards that I viewed during my visit. The pièce de résistance is one of the oldest known tarot cards, a 15th-century hand-painted gold-stamped work.

​I also share photos of some fascinating antique playing cards. There are many cards in their collection as you'd imagine. Please excuse some of my photos. I shot these in 2015 using a Samsung Note 2, so the photos just don't compare to current smart phones. That, plus the challenge of taking photos through display glass sometimes made it difficult to capture the cards. (They keep it dim in there, which actually made browsing the museum's collection a delight!) I did spend some time adjusting the photos in an app to try to improve them, but there's nothing I could do about light reflection. I hope you still enjoy looking through these!

...David and I visited Père Lachaise cemetery in Paris. While we stopped at Oscar Wilde's tomb and Jim Morrison's shrine, as a Lenormand reader, I first had to visit its namesake, Mademoiselle Marie Anne Lenormand's resting place.

To my great surprise, her gravesite was so well cared for and abundantly decorated with plants and flowers and cherub statuettes.

The 2nd edition Lua Lenormand is available to buy here. 53 cards come in a black tin. There are sixteen Significator options (28 & 29) and three Child-card (13) options.

Includes 9-page PDF link. If you’re new to Lenormand, this is a great introductory primer on how to read the Lenormand method.
​
As always, THANK-YOU for your kind support and love for the cards.

Lua Lenormand Release with Lua Tarot

There are 16 significator cards that come with the Lua Lenormand deck! During the creation process of the Lua Tarot, I had been setting aside images that would work for a traditional Lenormand deck. And so, after the Lua Tarot's completion, a matching Lua Lenormand was birthed. Let's call it an unexpected twin. ☺️ ⠀ The pre-order sale is still open! The Lua Len will be available in two sizes, mini & poker. ⠀ The amount of pre-order interest for the Lua Len will guide me on how many of these Lenormand decks I should print. Sooo...if you do like what you see, I invite you to join in the pre-order sale. □✨□✨□✨□✨□ ⠀ Thank you for supporting indie! ✨□□✨ ⠀ #celebratediversity #luatarot #lualenormand #lenormandreadersofinstagram #divinemuses #tarotcommunity #lenormandcommunity #lenormandcards #indiedeck #indiedeckcreator #deckcreator #divination #lenormand #lenormanddeck

A fellow card reader, Judy Kerr, posted this video in our study group and I just had to post it here too.  You will see her old pack of Dondorf Lenormand cards are so well loved that some of the cards are taped together to keep from falling apart.  The well-worn deck appears to have been passed down to her?  This woman is beautiful, and I love her rings!
