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.

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. 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. Blessed lucky Moon magic! 🌑🍀✨ We have a Cazimi Moon tonight, a most auspicious moon energy for starting something new.
