Cards - Mystical Mlle Lenormand Oracle Cards

Fortune-telling tarot cards Mystical Lenormand are like a window into a magical world: The Rider gallops on a unicorn, tiny fairies frolic with the Child, and a hippocampus splashes under the bridge near the Fork. The author of the deck,... Regula Elizabeth Fichter, has been working with the cards of Marie Lenormand for over 20 years. Together with the artist Urban Trösch, she brought her own original vision to the classic oracle. For example, the negative connotation of the Scythe is softened: a strong bull pulls a huge load of fresh hay against a pastoral backdrop. The accents on the Broom card are interestingly arranged, depicting a flagellant engaging in self-flagellation. The Bear is unusually illustrated, appearing fierce as it ransacks a beehive in search of treats. The Heart card resembles the VI Arcana of the Tarot Lovers from the Rider-Waite system: here we also see Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden, accompanied by various animals, the Serpent the tempter, while an enormous blazing heart replaces the angel. The 'Mystical Lenormand Oracle' is distinctly multicultural: it encompasses Christian, Arab, Japanese, Egyptian, Celtic, and other motifs. The cards lack titles and playing card symbols; the creators left only the numbers and added astrological symbols to complement the generally accepted meanings. Special mention should be made of the exquisite medieval tempera technique used for the illustrations and, of course, the rich color palette, which includes saturated, predominantly warm shades. This tarot card deck Mystical Lenormand is literally created for: — lovers of 'magical,' kind decks — those seeking a universal multicultural deck — followers of the Lenormand tradition who want to look at the familiar oracle from a new perspective.
