My collection is miniscule next to yours, dear Fliz!

But I am happy with what I have. Very happy....until the second ed Flonz and Anna. K's deck come out :).
 

greatdane

And Conurelover...this isn't about collecting...

That's why I titled it in your READING Arsenal :). It's about decks we read with, but it's great to list collections too.

Considering how much I read Lenormand, it doesn't seem I have a lot compared to most.

I forgot one! The Art Nouveau Oracle. I love that one. Can't believe I forgot it.

I read with all my decks.

Now that I've read all the posts here, I have a few more decks on my wish list. :-D

Yes, well, I mean to read with all of them. None of them are for collection-only, since I don't do that. But of course some of them never seem to get used. If I had to pare it down to those in the more regular rotation, it would be the list below. Still quite long!

I agree that the Art Nouveau deck is beautiful, but I find that one extremely difficult to read with.

It's so visually complex and there are people on so many of the non-people cards (like Bouquet and Scythe), that I find it confusing. I think, if there were people on *all* the cards, instead of just some, it might actually be less confusing.

But the artwork really is lovely.

Now, as far as reading...

For some reason, I keep going back to the Flonz and the large Dondorf published as French Cartomancy. Something about their elegant simplicity just clenches it --and, in the case of the Flonz proof, its very roughness.

Although Madam Morrow's and the Dutch do see some action from time to time. The rest are read at whim, some not at all.

I do mean to read with all my decks, but some of them are not readers for me and will probably be passed on to other people --i.e., the very beautiful, though very un-Lenormandy (is that a word?) Tattered Nomad. The Malpertuis is very beautiful and even very strictly Lenormandy (?), but not for me, God knows why. I just traded it away.

Oooh, i wasn't familiar with the Malpertuis Lenormand, so i just looked at some images,
and it is so lovely! Another one for the wish list...:p

This forum is dangerous...})
