With “The Weekly Reader Lenormand” deck, I wanted to step back in time to the Victorian-inspired illustration styles of the 19th century and capture the sense of elegance and grandeur characteristic of that bygone era.

The Mint Tin-Sized cards are reminiscent of engravings from that period. Each illustration is encased within an ornate frame, adorned with baroque spirals and golden leaves, evoking a sense of both regality and opulence.

Each suit has its own colored motif, represented not only by the suit pip itself but also by the background in the form of pastel-colored paper textures.

Included in “The Weekly Reader Lenormand” deck is a set of instructions based on the mid-1800s “Philippe Le Normand” guide, which is among the oldest known instructions for interpreting Lenormand cards.

Obsidian Reflections Lenormand – Foil Edition (Poker-Sized Deck)

With the ‘Obsidian Reflections‘ Lenormand Deck, I wanted a monochromatic, graphic novel-style approach to bring a modern look to the ancient practice. I also wanted to incorporate the corresponding playing cards as part of the image itself, instead of traditionally having the playing card as an ‘Image within the image’ or, as more modern decks do, just having the suit pip. However, I did not want to make this a transformation deck (although I might do one later). So, I decided that overlaying the upper left part of the card with a gradual fade into the artwork might look nice.

This deck features 40 poker-sized cards in monochrome with a holographic foil finish. In this special foil card edition, each card is enhanced with holographic foil that dances in the light, creating a captivating, ethereal experience. (there is a non-foil card edition as well)

The ‘Obsidian Reflections‘ Lenormand Deck embraces inclusivity with additional Gentleman, Lady, and Person cards, tailored for LGBTQIA2S+ relationships. This enhancement broadens the scope of your readings, honoring and reflecting the rich diversity of love and identities within the LGBTQIA2S+ community.

Additionally, the deck is accompanied by a version of the mid-1800s “Philippe Le Normand” instructions, some of the earliest known for Lenormand readings. These instructions have been updated to acknowledge LGBTQIA+ relationships, blending traditional Lenormand guidance with the modern imperative for inclusivity.

With the Luminosity Lenormand deck, I set out to create a fusion of traditional divination and modern artistic expression. I was drawn to the vibe of blacklight posters on black velvet and aimed to capture that essence while transferring it to a more contemporary aesthetic.

The Visual Aesthetics

Each card in this Bridge Sized deck is a luminous burst of hues, ranging from electric blues to radiant pinks, greens, and yellows. I believe it creates a sense of otherworldliness, as if each card is a window into a deeper, more vibrant world.

Inclusivity and Representation

The Luminosity Lenormand includes two Gentleman cards, two Lady cards, and two Person cards for LGBTIQA+ relationships. I would like to think this inclusion reflects a modern understanding of diversity and the necessity for representation in divinatory practices.

A Deck for the Modern Mystic

The Luminosity Lenormand offers a vibrant journey into the heart of divination. It provides a visually captivating and spiritually enriching experience. Whether used for artistic inspiration or exploring new depths of consciousness, this deck serves as a beautiful tool for the modern mystic.

MY OTHER LENORMAND DECKS

For the Darkfeather Lenormand (a Mint Tin-sized deck), I wanted to create something somber, captivating, and mystical, infused with a subtle gothic and dark romanticism sensibility. Something deeply atmospheric and evocative, a motif of nighttime and dusk, twilight or under the quiet watch of the moon, telling stories ancient and timeless.

Included in the Darkfeather Lenormand are two Gentleman, Lady, and Person cards to embrace various relationships and identities, allowing everyone to see themselves in the imagery, in and out of the LGBTQIA+ community.

There is also a bridge-sized edition.

Additionally, the deck features an adapted version of the historic “Philippe Le Normand” instructions, modernized to include LGBTQIA+ perspectives, merging classic Lenormand guidance with modern inclusivity.

With the Darkfeather Lenormand, I hope you discover a haunting beauty that invokes a sense of tales untold and secrets kept in the dark.
