It is definitely a Lenormand deck. I like it, the colours add another dimension to a reading. The card quality is not great. You don't have to use the meanings in the book.
Titania's Fortune Cards?

It is a Lenormand deck in so far as it has 36 cards and follows the standard pattern. But otherwise its different. Lots of Lenormand readers start with this deck, but meaning wise its different. Titania Hardie's meanings aren't standard to any school.it appears Russian inspired rather than based.
It reads differently - it doesn't talk like other Lenormands. So to me it is not like my Lenormand decks. But its good and accurate.

But of course you could use the cards with your own meanings instead of Titania's, yes?
I wonder why (or how) it talks differently to you. That's interesting. So far I have only done readings with Melissa. I don't really like my Mystical enough to do much with it. And the Blue Owl I bought (super cheap) disappointingly has verses on them instead of playing card inserts, and I find them too distracting. They overwhelm the image. So I look forward to getting this deck and comparing--esp considering I found it for only £1.06!

My intention was to use standard meanings, but they didn't work with them. My work kept showing up as Lilies, which is the work card. Tree was never health. Its quite strange.
The Blue Owl by US Games has verses, for some reason - they did a 1970 edition with the blue box + Verses. If you type Blaue Eule on Amazon this has playing cards.
I'm no fan of the Mystical. Have you considered the Mertz?
Carla
Yes! I saw it on LeFanu's blog, I would love one!
andybc
eBay often have them on there, minus the German book.

I agree with you Halil. LS are not known for good card stock.
There is also Konigs Furt's Lenormand - it's got the Dondorf pattern but with new card inserts. It's good quality card and smaller.

Well, I must not have ordered after all that £1.06 talk, because I definitely do not have this set. I just did a deck inventory last night. Wasn't there. So I just ordered it new from amazon. I love the psychedelic colours.

This is the deck I started with and the deck that I came back to. Andy's right, it doesn't read like the others. I like this one the best.
