 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.

 Front & 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 is 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 might imagine.
 Six years ago today, David and I visited Père Lachaise cemetery. We stopped at Oscar Wilde's tomb and the Jim Morrison shrine, but as a Lenormand reader, I first had to visit the resting place of Mademoiselle Marie Anne Lenormand.
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 now sold out. 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 ©2020 Maree Bento Full Moon in Virgo reading from the Lua Lenormand. Stars + Moon + Snake shows the twists and turns of creativity and intuitive clarity. It can be a circuitous path of your purpose and destiny.
Full Moon in Virgo wants us to refine our purpose and tap into productivity, to put our emotions second. This can feel like a paradox as the Full Moon wants us to fully feel them.  Lua Lenormand ©2020 Maree Bento Blessed lucky Moon magic! 🌑🍀✨ We have a Cazimi Moon tonight, a most auspicious moon energy for starting something new. The time frame is extra potent for 30 minutes before and after the Sun/Moon conjunction. The exact time of the New Moon and time frame:
PST 9:07pm: 8:37pm to 9:37pm EST 12:07am: 11:37pm to 12:37am Cazimi Moons bring good luck and open us to new opportunities. New Moon rituals during a Cazimi Moon get an extra boost of good fortune. May your endeavors be blessed with abundance in all forms!  Prepping Lua Lenormand pre-orders! I'm going to start processing Lua Lenormand pre-orders (orders that only have a Lua Lenormand purchase) this week, so look for an email with tracking info soon. I'm planning to ship all Lua Lenormand pre-orders by the end of the week.
If you ALSO pre-ordered the Lua Tarot, your Lua Lenormand (mini or poker size) deck will ship along WITH the Lua Tarot once those arrive. LUA TAROT PRE-ORDER NOTE: Lua Tarot decks are still on their way to my front door. I am still expecting them sometime between October 16th to 19th. I’ll let you know if this changes. If you have any questions, please let me know! There are 16 significator cards that come with the Lua Lenormand deck! During the creation process of the Lua Tarot, I would find images that could work for a traditional Lenormand deck, a possible companion deck. As the Lua Tarot was preparing for production, Lua Lenormand was birthed. Let's call it an unexpected twin.
The Lua Tarot is currently being printed at the factory. It will be in production for ~35 days, shipping after that will be ~25. The Pre-Order Sale is well underway today: day two. Thank you everyone for a fabulous first day of pre-orders yesterday. I’m deeply grateful for your generosity and kind words of support! The pre-order sale includes the Lua Lenormand, which will be available in two sizes, mini & poker. The amount of pre-order interest for the Lua Lenormand will guide me on how many of these decks to print. So...if you would like one, I invite you to join in the pre-order sale.  Join me in my grand tableau class that I will be presenting at the NW Tarot Symposium in March. 9 steps to hone the GT and answer your, or your client’s, questions. The GT can easily become overwhelming, but in this presentation, I will share how to unpack this classic layout and...Keep It Simple Sibyl! I am really looking forward to this! Will you be there this year?
I'll have a booth in the vending hall, which is free to attend! I'll have all of my decks and books for sale. AND...I'll be showing the progress of my two latest decks that I'm currently working on. If you're planning on attending, please come by and say hi! Register for my grand tableau class at the NW Tarot Symposium in Portland, Oregon, March 6th-8th. This is year six of NWTS! ⠀  I'm excited to be presenting again at the NW Tarot Symposium 2020. This time on the Lenormand's Grand Tableau, the queen of the Lenormand layouts. The class, Keep it Simple Sibyl: K.I.S.S. Tips & Tricks to Flow through the Grand Tableau, is Sunday March 9th at 9:00am. I will also have a vending table at the Vendor's Bazaar where I'll be selling my decks all weekend. Looking forward to year 6!
 Trimmed mini Antiquarian Lenormand cards, first miniature seance set The message is to stay connected to your community (Garden + Ring), to keep socializing and networking with each other. Try to avoid the temptation of isolation this time of year. During this period it will be important to commit to your community and social life. We need each other during the darkest time of the year. These connections bring us abundance (Garden + Ring + Fish) and the realization that our prosperity is very much associated with the commitment we make to community. What we put in we get back in overflowing abundance.
I put together this adorable mini cartomancer kit a few years back. I de-bordered my mini Antiquarian Lenormand and it fits nicely inside the Ouija mints tin with an orange spread cloth, two mini candles, and little matches, along with a tiny crystal ball, bell and quartz wand. Happy Samhain! Here is something a little different—a leisurely browse through some Halloween decks in my collection. A kind of creepy fun Show and Tell. Grab a cup of something hot and spiced—this one is almost half an hour long. I hope you will enjoy this video of me chatting about some wicked tarot and oracles.
Here are the decks mentioned in the video: 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!
A "show and tell" of the recent Lauren Forestell & Le Fanu Lenormand collaboration.
http://gameofhopelenormand.bigcartel.com/ Here's Le Fanu's wonderful blogpost about the cards: http://mycuriouscabinet.wordpress.com/2014/02/16/the-destroyed-dondorf/ I just received my copy of the Flonz Victorian Lenormand by Katherine Andrews and did an unboxing video, walkthrough, and initial review.
This is a very special deck. What makes it unique is the stamped Lenormand images. What makes it remarkable is that the stamped images were hand drawn by Katherine herself. Flonz is the stamp-maker and as you will see his work is precise. |
