About this item
  • The Melissa Lenormand is a 36-card oracle deck. It's inspired by vintage ephemera, postcards and advertising, giving it an antique feel and more complex imagery than is usual for a Lenormand deck. The deck is now completed, and available in a self-published edition.

Reviews

Not that the deck needs beautiful backs to lend it mystery. In the hand, these cards are even more interesting than in the scans. Some visual elements, like color and tone and the use of writing "underneath" the collage images, are obvious in the scans. Others only became clear when the 36 cards are laid out on the table.

For example, the cards demonstrate a terrific sense of composition. The cards are not all composed the same (one figure in the middle of the card) nor is each card's composition completely unique (as in some collaborative and collage decks). The deck strikes a perfect balance, with just enough visual similarity to unify the deck, and just enough variation to make each card distinct.

Another surprise is that the writing on most of the cards becomes compelling when you hold them in your hand. I find myself picking out words and phrases from the text on the cards; the text enriches the cards well beyond the (stereo)typical Lenormand images.

Some words are large and easy to read. My favorite, due to its hilarity, is the choice in Path between "study and cleanliness" or "cigarettes and self-abuse."

The cards share the same cursive text in the background (perhaps from a letter?) but because of the placement of the foreground images and shading, some words are clear and others obscured. "Quietly" in Hearts and "quietly" in Snakes reads and feels not at all the same.

Lenormand images of Bear, Clover, Mice, Ring, Lily, Cross, Ring, etc., are often presented as a simple picture of the named object. In the Melissa Lenormand, nothing is quite so simple. For example, Ship includes a wrong-side-up "This Side Up, Handle with Care" label. Letter depicts the sweetness of correspondence, but also discipline and training (see for yourself when you get the deck!). These elements surprised and enlightened me well beyond what is visible in any of a number of Lenormand-based oracles.

In short, the Melissa Lenormand has layers and depth that are subtle and pleasing, both aesthetically and also for reading.
