Mystical Lenormand Book: The Fortune Cards of Marie-Anne Lenormand

I picked up the Mystical Lenormand while on holiday in Fuengirola. My hotel was next door to a Mysterium Bookstore and I had to buy something. The LWB was in Spanish so I didn't know what I was looking at but the artwork was beautiful.Roll on six months. I have since acquired The Gilded Reverie Lenormand, The White Owl (lovely pinks and pastels), Pixie's Astounding Lenormand (love it), and a set of the Kipper Cards by the same artist Urban Trosch (I have no intention of using the Kipper Cards but I love the art).I have read Rana George's Complete Lenormand which is an excellent resource. So, it was great delight that I found that a dedicated book to the Mystical Lenormand was available. It is a beautiful and comprehensive production. Colour copies of each card and very helpful combinations for every cards.If you have the Mystical Lenormand I would strongly advise getting this companion book and if you don't have the deck, I would enthusiastically recommend that you do. Thank you.

I have a couple of Kindle versions of Lenormand books - but it is almost impossible to navigate and refer back to cards quickly. This hard copy is perfect, a good, compact size but not too small, and with colour illustrations and a thorough description of all the cards, spreads and background to the deck. This is my favourite deck because the symbolism is direct and uncomplicated and the book is a reasonably priced and wonderful addition, providing insights and adding interest to the cards and readings.

If you have this deck, this is a must have book. Goes through a bit on the history of the lenormand as well. Have combinations of the cards also, so it is must have in my opinion, especially if you are a newbie like myself.

A wonderful book which really deepens your understanding of the Mystical Lenormand cards.

Very happy with the book, explains the cards very well.

I have been greatly enjoying this book as it offers so much more than the typical little white booklet you get in cartomancy decks. It shows all the possible two card combinations. I'm still learning but this book is helping me get a leg up.

Excelente presentación.

This book is nicely put together in many respects. The cards are presented in color plates. There is delightful pagan artwork in some margins and at the end of each chapter. The first heading is "The Image" . Some of these give a nice background history to the image on the card. Others get into the background detail provided for the image which at times meanders too much toward the symbolic and the details of the setting created by the artist. This could be confusing and borders on treating the deck more like an oracle. Next is "Interpretation." This is a delightful treatment of the card's possibilities. It is thorough and well written, in line with traditional Lenormand interpretations but the writing style is refreshing. Following this is a short list of "time factor", "characteristics", "persons", and astrological attribution." These are helpful. What follows I have not seen before in a Lenormand text. The card being discussed is combined with every other card in the deck for two card combinations. Each has two to three short, well done interpretations. This was a surprise; normally one has to go to the internet for these. Spreads are covered at the end.I was not expecting this book to be so well presented and written. It is classy. The book is artfully presented, detailed in a way most Lenormand texts are not, and written in respectful style that just seems to flow. It would be a good book to start with as a beginner. Yet, because the author follows traditional meanings for the cards, you could incorporate this book with another traditional but more detailed text such as The Essential Lenormand by Rana George. I have no doubt most people would find this book a valuable addition to their Lenormand library.

This is a BOOK and needs to be purchased with the deck if you are serious about good readings. While buying the deck and book might seem a bit pricey for a Lenormand...I think you'll find you really appreciate using both. This is my daily working set among all others.I ordered this and was somehow expecting something else, like maybe an art book about the deck. A fairly small sized book came and I wasn't sure I would like it. Once I cracked it open I was immediately disgusted that I had not ordered it with the deck as I feel now like I was flying pretty blind. This is a fairly pricey little book for the size, but it is critical to the deck use and nicely done with full color images of the deck.The book is well made and has a stitched binding. It is easy to hold and read. It opens up easily for reading and can be laid flat. The text is very easy reading and explains all aspects of not only the art, but the use of Lenormand.I am just IN LOVE with this author and artist who are both very accessible. I now have both the Mystical Lenormand and the Mystical kipper. This Lenormand is my all time favorite deck and I use it everyday. I am absolutely delighted that I did order this book after realizing what it was. If you are buying the deck you really would be sorry not to buy the book too. I now have instant access to very clear readings. I feel a symbiosis between the author and artist that I haven't in any other deck. They seem to be on the same wave length. This deck has a real sense of joy and clarity.I appreciate that the book explains some things I had never heard before about the merging of Celtic and Christian concepts behind the card. I really wish I had all of this information when I first got the deck. It would have made a difference in how I read. Yes...buy it.

A must have companion to the cards. Period. All you need to know is in this book pertaining to the Mystical Lenormand deck, and performing spreads and readings for yourself or others.

Love this book! This simple, straight forward book offers great insights to the meaning of the cards. The Mystical Lenormand deck is great too! I also own Rana George's and Caitlyn Matthew's Lenormand books. The Mystical Lenormand is a great asset to my collection and learning.

Just discovered this book that connects with the cards. I was using another guidebook, but love having another perspective. Highly recommend.

the card deck too small that the elements on the card is hard to tell.The book is nice and useful.
