With the ‘Tiny Tableaux Lenormand,’ I wanted to experiment with a domino-sized deck to see how that would influence the layout of the cards within the parameters of the domino-sized ratio.

I ended up with something very simple and basic in its layout, yet colorful and vibrant in its imagery.

I hope that the domino size will prove the ideal size for the nomadic reader or those with limited space.

Included in the ‘Tiny Tableaux Lenormand‘ are two Gentleman, Lady, and Person cards to better reflect various relationships and identities, in and out of the LGBTQIA+ community.

May you find this deck to be a versatile divination tool that is accessible and affirming, allowing everyone to see themselves in the imagery, beyond traditional decks.

Additionally, the deck features an adapted version of the historic ‘Philippe Le Normand’ instructions, modernized to include LGBTQIA+ perspectives.

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)


VIEW IN GAMECRAFTER SHOP | MY OTHER LENORMAND DECKS



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.

The History of I Ching Cards and How to Use Them

The I Ching, or “Book of Changes,” is an ancient Chinese text that has been used for divination, philosophical guidance, and self-reflection for over three millennia. Over time, the principles of the I Ching have been adapted into various forms, including I Ching cards, which provide a modern method for engaging with this ancient wisdom. This detailed blog post will explore the rich history of the I Ching, the development of I Ching cards, and provide comprehensive instructions on how to use them effectively.

Historical Background of the I Ching

Origins and Development

I-Ching-spread

The I Ching’s origins are steeped in Chinese antiquity, with its creation traditionally attributed to the legendary figure Fu Xi, who is said to have discovered the eight trigrams (Ba Gua) through his observations of nature and the cosmos. These trigrams form the foundational elements of the I Ching. The text as we know it today was compiled during the Zhou Dynasty (1046–256 BCE), with significant contributions from King Wen of Zhou, his son the Duke of Zhou, and the later Confucian philosopher Confucius, who is believed to have added commentaries.

The I Ching is composed of 64 hexagrams, each consisting of six lines that can be either broken (yin) or unbroken (yang). Each hexagram represents a unique state of change and is accompanied by interpretive texts that offer guidance on navigating life’s transformations and challenges.

Philosophical Underpinnings

The I Ching is deeply rooted in Chinese philosophy, embodying the concepts of yin and yang, which represent the dualistic nature of existence and the constant interplay of opposites. This philosophical framework aligns with Daoist principles of harmony and balance, emphasizing the importance of aligning one’s actions with the natural flow of the universe.

Confucianism also played a significant role in the development of the I Ching, integrating ethical and moral dimensions into its interpretations. This blend of Daoist and Confucian thought makes the I Ching a holistic guide for understanding the complexities of life and making informed decisions.

The Evolution of I Ching Cards

From Text to Cards

yarrow stalks

Traditionally, the I Ching was consulted using a method involving yarrow stalks or, more commonly today, three coins. This process generates a hexagram, which is then interpreted using the text. However, as interest in Eastern philosophy grew in the West during the 20th century, there was a demand for more accessible ways to engage with the I Ching. This led to the creation of I Ching cards.

I Ching cards typically feature the 64 hexagrams, each depicted with its corresponding lines and interpretations. These cards offer a visual and intuitive approach to the I Ching, making it easier for users to perform divinations without needing to master the traditional methods.

Modern Interpretations and Decks

Various authors and artists have created their own versions of I Ching cards, each bringing unique interpretations and artistic styles. Some decks focus on traditional symbolism and interpretations, while others incorporate contemporary insights and aesthetics. This diversity allows users to choose a deck that resonates with their personal preferences and understanding.

Using I Ching Cards for Divination

Preparing for a Reading

  1. Choosing a Deck: Select an I Ching card deck that appeals to you. Consider the artwork, interpretations, and overall energy of the deck.
  2. Setting the Intention: Before beginning a reading, clear your mind and set a clear intention. This could be a specific question you seek guidance on or a general desire for insight into a particular area of your life.
  3. Creating a Sacred Space: Find a quiet, comfortable space where you can focus without distractions. You may want to light candles or incense to create a calming atmosphere.

Conducting a Reading

  1. Shuffling the Cards: Shuffle the cards thoroughly while focusing on your intention. This helps to infuse the cards with your energy and question.
  2. Drawing the Cards: There are various methods for drawing I Ching cards, but a common approach is to draw a single card for a concise reading or multiple cards for more detailed insights. Below are some popular spreads:
  • Single Card Draw: Provides a straightforward answer or guidance.
  • Three-Card Spread: Represents the past, present, and future of the situation.
  • Hexagram Spread: Draw six cards to create a hexagram, interpreting each line in the context of the situation.
  1. Interpreting the Cards: Once you have drawn the cards, refer to the accompanying guidebook or your knowledge of the I Ching to interpret the meanings. Pay attention to the symbolism, the yin-yang balance, and the overall message conveyed by the hexagram.

Example Reading: Three-Card Spread

Let’s walk through an example using a three-card spread to gain insights into a situation:

  1. Shuffle and Draw: After setting your intention, shuffle the cards and draw three cards. Lay them out in a line from left to right.
  2. Position Meanings:
  • First Card (Past): This card represents past influences or events that have shaped the current situation.
  • Second Card (Present): This card indicates the current state or dynamics of the situation.
  • Third Card (Future): This card offers guidance or a potential outcome based on the current trajectory.
  1. Interpretation:
  • First Card (Past): Hexagram 11 (Peace) – This suggests a period of harmony and balance in the past, where things flowed smoothly.
  • Second Card (Present): Hexagram 23 (Splitting Apart) – Indicates a challenging time where things may be falling apart or undergoing significant change.
  • Third Card (Future): Hexagram 24 (Return) – Suggests a return to stability and a new beginning after the period of upheaval.

In this example, the reading suggests that while the present situation may be difficult, there is hope for renewal and stability in the future.

Advanced Techniques and Considerations

Combining I Ching Cards with Other Divination Tools

For those experienced in multiple forms of divination, I Ching cards can be combined with other tools such as tarot cards, runes, or astrology. This approach can provide a more comprehensive and nuanced reading, drawing on the strengths of each method.

Reflecting on Readings

After conducting a reading, take time to reflect on the messages and how they apply to your life. Journaling your readings can be a valuable practice, allowing you to track patterns and insights over time.

Ethical Considerations

As with any form of divination, it’s important to approach I Ching card readings with respect and integrity. Use the readings as a tool for personal growth and guidance, rather than a means of predicting the future with absolute certainty. Always respect the privacy and autonomy of others if you are conducting readings for them.

Historical and Cultural Significance of I Ching Cards

The I Ching in Chinese Culture

The I Ching has held a central place in Chinese culture for millennia, influencing various aspects of life, from governance to personal decision-making. Its emphasis on change and adaptation resonates with the Daoist worldview of natural harmony and balance.

The Spread of I Ching in the West

In the 20th century, Western interest in Eastern philosophies and spiritual practices grew significantly. The I Ching was introduced to the West by scholars and translators, such as Richard Wilhelm, whose German translation became widely read and respected. Carl Jung, the Swiss psychiatrist, also played a role in popularizing the I Ching through his psychological interpretations and use of the text for exploring the unconscious.

Practical Applications of I Ching Cards

Daily Guidance and Reflection

Using I Ching cards can be a daily practice for guidance and self-reflection. Drawing a card each morning can provide insight into the day’s potential challenges and opportunities, helping you to approach your activities with greater awareness and mindfulness.

Decision-Making Tool

The I Ching can be a valuable tool for decision-making, offering perspectives on the possible outcomes of different choices. By consulting the I Ching cards, you can gain a deeper understanding of the factors at play and the best course of action to align with natural harmony.

Personal Growth and Transformation

Engaging with the I Ching regularly can support personal growth and transformation. The insights gained from the readings can help you navigate life’s changes, develop resilience, and foster a deeper connection with yourself and the world around you.

Creating Your Own I Ching Card Ritual

Developing a Personal Ritual

Creating a personal ritual for using I Ching cards can enhance the experience and deepen your connection to the practice. Consider incorporating elements that resonate with you, such as meditation, prayer, or the use of specific objects like crystals or essential oils.

Sample Ritual Structure

  1. Preparation: Set your intention and prepare your space. This might involve lighting a candle, burning incense, or playing calming music.
  2. Meditation: Spend a few moments in meditation to center yourself and clear your mind.
  3. Shuffling and Drawing: Shuffle the cards while focusing on your intention, then draw the appropriate number of cards for your chosen spread.
  4. Interpretation: Reflect on the meanings of the cards and how they apply to your situation. Consider journaling your insights and any additional thoughts that arise.
  5. Closing: Conclude your ritual with a moment of gratitude, thanking the I Ching and any other spiritual elements you included in your practice.

Choosing the Right I Ching Card Deck

Factors to Consider

When selecting an I Ching card deck, consider the following factors:

  • Artwork: Choose a deck with artwork that resonates with you and enhances your connection to the cards.
  • Interpretations: Look for a deck with clear and insightful interpretations that align with your understanding of the I Ching.
  • Guidebook: A well-written guidebook can provide valuable context and deepen your understanding of the cards.

The Minchiate Etruria Tarot: History, Symbolism, and Divination

For information about, and how to play, the original Minchiate card game, see this post.

Introduction

The world of tarot is vast and diverse, with countless decks offering unique perspectives on the arcane and mystical. Among these, the Minchiate Etruria Tarot stands out for its rich historical roots, elaborate symbolism, and expanded set of cards. This deck, which emerged in the Italian region of Tuscany during the Renaissance, provides a fascinating glimpse into the cultural and spiritual life of its time. In this blog post, we will delve into the origins, structure, and significance of the Minchiate Etruria Tarot, exploring how it differs from more familiar tarot decks and what it offers to modern practitioners and enthusiasts.

Historical Background

The Minchiate Tarot, also known as Minchiate Etruria, is believed to have originated in the early 16th century, though some sources suggest it could have emerged even earlier. The name “Minchiate” is thought to derive from a term used in an old card game that resembled modern tarot games. The deck was primarily produced in Florence and other parts of Tuscany, reflecting the region’s artistic and intellectual vibrancy during the Renaissance.

Unlike the traditional tarot decks, which typically consist of 78 cards, the Minchiate deck contains 97 cards. This expansion includes additional trumps (major arcana) and a greater variety of symbolic representations. The deck enjoyed considerable popularity in Italy during the 17th and 18th centuries, with various versions being produced. One of the most famous of these is the Minchiate Etruria, which was published in Florence by the workshop of Giuseppe Viggiani in the 18th century.

Structure of the Minchiate Etruria Tarot

The Minchiate Etruria Tarot is notable for its expanded set of cards, which includes the following:

  1. Major Arcana: The Minchiate deck features 41 trumps, compared to the 22 found in traditional tarot decks. These include the standard major arcana cards (like the Fool, the Magician, and the World) as well as additional cards representing the four virtues (Hope, Prudence, Faith, and Charity), the four elements (Fire, Water, Air, and Earth), and the twelve signs of the zodiac.
  2. Minor Arcana: The minor arcana in the Minchiate deck are similar to those in traditional decks, consisting of four suits (Swords, Cups, Coins, and Wands) with cards ranging from Ace to Ten, and four court cards (King, Queen, Knight, and Page) for each suit.

The inclusion of virtues, elements, and zodiac signs adds a rich layer of complexity and symbolic depth to the Minchiate Tarot, allowing for more nuanced readings and interpretations.

Symbolism and Imagery

The symbolism of the Minchiate Etruria Tarot reflects the Renaissance’s fascination with mythology, astrology, and alchemy, as well as Christian virtues and classical philosophy. Each card is intricately illustrated with detailed imagery that draws from these diverse sources, creating a tapestry of meaning that invites deep contemplation.

The Major Arcana:

  • The Virtues: The addition of Hope, Prudence, Faith, and Charity to the major arcana highlights the importance of these virtues in Renaissance thought. These cards encourage the seeker to consider the moral and ethical dimensions of their queries.
  • The Elements: Fire, Water, Air, and Earth represent the fundamental forces of nature and human existence. These cards invite reflections on balance, transformation, and the interplay between different aspects of life.
  • The Zodiac Signs: The inclusion of the twelve zodiac signs connects the Minchiate Tarot to astrology, suggesting that the movements of celestial bodies can influence human affairs. These cards add a cosmic dimension to the readings, reminding us of the larger forces at play in our lives.

The Minor Arcana:

The minor arcana in the Minchiate Etruria Tarot follows the traditional structure but is enriched with detailed and often whimsical artwork. Each suit tells its own story, with imagery that reflects the elemental nature of the suit and its associated themes.

  • Swords: Representing the element of Air, the Swords suit deals with intellect, conflict, and communication. The imagery often depicts scenes of struggle and resolution, emphasizing the dual nature of the mind.
  • Cups: Associated with Water, the Cups suit explores emotions, relationships, and intuition. The cards are adorned with flowing, fluid imagery that captures the essence of emotional currents.
  • Coins: Linked to Earth, the Coins suit addresses material concerns, such as wealth, health, and physical well-being. The artwork often features scenes of abundance and prosperity, highlighting the tangible aspects of life.
  • Wands: Representing Fire, the Wands suit focuses on action, creativity, and ambition. The dynamic imagery conveys the energy and drive associated with this suit.

Divination and Interpretation

The Minchiate Etruria Tarot offers a unique and expansive framework for divination. The additional cards provide more nuanced insights and allow for more detailed readings. Here are some key aspects to consider when interpreting the Minchiate Tarot:

  1. Complex Spreads: The expanded major arcana means that Minchiate readings can involve more complex spreads, incorporating the additional virtues, elements, and zodiac signs. These spreads can offer deeper insights into the querent’s situation, highlighting hidden influences and broader contexts.
  2. Astrological Connections: The presence of the zodiac cards makes it possible to integrate astrological interpretations into tarot readings. This can be particularly useful for seekers interested in how celestial events may be impacting their lives.
  3. Virtues and Morality: The inclusion of the virtues encourages readers to consider ethical and moral dimensions in their interpretations. These cards can prompt reflections on the querent’s values and the role of virtues in their decision-making processes.
  4. Elemental Balances: The elemental cards invite consideration of the balance (or imbalance) of different forces in the querent’s life. For example, an excess of Fire cards might suggest a need for more patience and reflection, while a predominance of Water cards could indicate emotional overwhelm.
  5. Symbolic Richness: The detailed and symbolic imagery of the Minchiate Etruria Tarot offers numerous layers of meaning for readers to explore. Each card can be interpreted on multiple levels, from its immediate symbolism to its broader mythological and philosophical connotations.

Modern Relevance

Despite its historical origins, the Minchiate Etruria Tarot remains relevant to modern practitioners for several reasons:

  1. Depth and Complexity: The expanded deck provides a depth of insight that can be particularly valuable in complex readings. For those seeking a more intricate and multifaceted approach to tarot, the Minchiate offers a rich tapestry of symbolism and meaning.
  2. Historical and Cultural Insight: Studying and using the Minchiate Tarot offers a window into Renaissance culture and thought. It provides an opportunity to engage with the intellectual and spiritual currents of a fascinating historical period.
  3. Enhanced Introspection: The additional cards and their symbolic richness can prompt deeper introspection and self-exploration. The Minchiate Tarot encourages seekers to look beyond surface-level interpretations and consider broader existential and ethical questions.
  4. Aesthetic Appeal: The artistry of the Minchiate Etruria Tarot is a significant draw for many enthusiasts. The detailed and often beautiful illustrations make the deck a pleasure to work with and a valuable addition to any collection.
  5. Versatility in Readings: The diverse symbolism of the Minchiate deck allows for a wide range of reading styles and interpretations. Whether used for personal introspection, spiritual guidance, or creative inspiration, the Minchiate Tarot is a versatile and powerful tool.

Conclusion

The Minchiate Etruria Tarot is a unique and captivating deck that stands out for its historical significance, symbolic richness, and expanded structure. Its blend of classical, astrological, and alchemical imagery offers a profound and multifaceted approach to divination.

Le Lenormand à la Vincent Mint-Tin Deck


MY OTHER LENORMAND DECKS


The mystic art of Lenormand meets the expressive genius of Vincent van Gogh in a Petit Lenormand Mint Tin Deck. “Le Lenormand à la Vincent” is a narrative woven through the expressive language of van Gogh’s art style, adopting his iconic thick, impasto brushwork and his penchant for bold, dramatic colors.

Vincent van Gogh has always been my favorite Post-Impressionist artist, so when it came time to design a new Lenormand deck, I thought it would be lovely to have cards designed in a simulacrum of his style, merging the essence of Lenormand readings with the passionate strokes and vibrant hues that defined van Gogh.

That being said, I hope, with “Le Lenormand à la Vincent“, you enjoy fortune-telling through the simulated lens of one of the most celebrated Post-Impressionist artists.

This deck is accompanied by a set of instructions based on the mid-1800s “Philippe Le Normand” guide, which is among the oldest known instructions for interpreting the Lenormand cards
