Lenormand I believe are actually a formalized deck rather than being
random like Gypsy cards. They usually a set of 36 card deck which have
both a picture and playing card insert somewhere on each card, although the
Mystical Lenormand put out by U.S. Games do not which is unusual. If you
wish to have a look at what this particular deck looks like here is a direct
link to some of them - http://www.usgamesinc.com/Mystical-Lenormand/
In a way they are formalized gypsy cards usually with a playing card
insert except Lenormand usually runs to a strict pattern below:
KEY
CROSS
Whether or not the cards are good depends on what is in front of each
other and behind it – they are usually read in groups of either two or three
together.
I have an additional two Lenormand deck which besides having the above
cards have some additional extras. My second deck which I purchase direct
from the artist Ciro Marchetti. The playing card insert on these is
very small and sits in the right hand corner of each card. I only take
note of the playing card on them when it is the Outcome Card to a particular
question during a reading. This deck is called Gilded Reverie
Lenormand. Website link if you wish to see a few is: http://www.usgamesinc.com/Gilded-Reverie-Lenormand
The additional cards in his deck are: Dice, Clocks, Mask and
Bridges.
My third deck again I purchased over the internet direct from the artist
named Shades of Pink Lenormand deck coming from I believe Canada – Artist name
is Lynn. This is an unusually large deck as it has 4 ladies; 4 men;
2 raiders (one being a lady); 2 children – one boy one girl along with some
extras that one would normally find in a Gypsy Card Deck. Her extras are;
YES, NO, CATS, PURSE, SEXUAL DESIRE, CLOCK. Unfortunately Lynn has
since decided to close shop and I am very fortune in getting a deck from her
before this happened.
