After reading The Tarot: History, Symbolism and Divination by Robert Place and Mystical Origins of the Tarot by Paul Huson, I've delved into the historical arena of Tarot and Cartomancy.
A couple of days ago, upon compiling a list of Major Historical Decks and their re-publications, I stumbled upon Lenormand. The lack of information (compared to Tarot), smaller deck size, and cheaper prices are intriguing!
Thinking of putting an order in (with Amazon US) for the LoS French Cartomancy, Mlle Lenormand Blue Owl by USG/AG Muller, Art Nouveau Oracle by LoS, and The Secrets of the Lenormand Oracle by Sylvie Steinbach. I figure, one with Playing Card insets (FC), one with verse insets (BO), and a modern rendition (AN) will give me a lovely overview!
I've been eyeing the Art Nouveau Tarot, but just can't get into it's imagery. I think the Oracle will suffice quite nicely! ;]
Been reading through some threads here, and also taken with Pixie's Hidden Lenormand, and starlightexp's Day of the Dead Lenormand! -But first, I must get into the system before plopping down $40 of my hard earned cash on these miniature deck beauties!
What do you Lenormand users think of my selection? While I think it appears to be rather balanced, let me know what you think of these decks!
Also, any other English Lenormand books I should keep an eye out for?
