The Antiquarian Lenormand

If you're a Lenormand enthusiast, then you will LOVE this beautiful deck! 

It has everything in it that makes it a great Lenny deck to read with. 

•  Playing card inserts!
•  Bold numbers and easily recognizable cards, which makes it effortless to spot a particular card you're looking for within a Grand Tableau.
•  Durable card stock with a pleasant texture.

The art on this deck is sublime. Classiest Lenormand deck I have in my collection, hands down. The artwork is a collage of portraits and illustrated plates from antique books, and the playing cards inserts are from a late nineteenth century card deck. One of the things I love the best about this deck are the black edges, which were hand colored by the creator, Maree Bento. Just simply stunning. 

The deck comes with 37 cards (it has an extra Fox card), an informative LWB, and a sturdy little box to store it in. Also, on the creator's website is an expanded LWB in pdf form. If you're interested in purchasing this lovely deck, please visit Maree's site at http://divinemuses.weebly.com/

To have a look at all of the cards, here is a video on YouTube with them. :)

The Key To The Kingdom - An Enchanted Deck (Aces)

At a tarot meet up that I went to recently, I purchased this delightful playing card deck. Info about the deck can be seen here. After looking through it, I thought I'd try to use it as an oracle deck in which I made up my own meanings based on the picture and the accompanying poem in the book that came with it. Here are the Aces with the poem that goes with them, and my own meanings. :) 

Ace of Hearts

I'm a little butterfly

Born in a bower,

Christened in a teapot, 

Died in half an hour.

-A beautiful, destined love affair that is brief.

Ace of Clubs

Bat, bat,

Come under my hat,

And I'll give you a slice of bacon;

And when I bake, I'll give you a cake,

If I'm not mistaken.

-Show kindness, graciousness, and generosity to visitors.

Ace of Spades

If you want to live and thrive

Let a spider run alive.

-Live life to the fullest right now. 

Ace of Diamonds

Yellow the bracken,

Golden the sheaves,

Rosy the apples,

Crimson the leaves;

Mist on the hillside,

Clouds grey and white.

Autumn, good morning!

Summer, good night. 

-The time has come to shed old burdens and conserve your energy.
