Lenormand the Lora is here!
Got the cards in today's mail! I almost destroyed the Priority Mail box in my impatience to get at them.
They come in the usual GC box, with the Moon image on both sides. The Moon image serves also as the back of the cards, so the Moon card itself can be used on either side. They are 3.5"x2.5", borderless, numberless and without inserts. They also came out of order, so after going through them I ordered them and went through the whole deck again.
It's very nice. The cards are individually aged --except for the backs, which are all the same-- and range from black-and-white to sepia to almost-but-not-quite full color. Some are photographs, others look like paintings or postcards. It tempts me to do a Grand Tableau (something still way beyond my abilities) just to see how they look all together.
I received Kendra's Vintage horizontal deck at the same time, so I could compare them side by side. Kendra's are wonderfully playful. The De Lora has some whimsical touches, but is anything but. It's dark and melancholy --even the Fox is lost in the snow, you feel sorry for the poor thing...
And now back to our regularly scheduled programming...
