Golden Lenormand Oracle

Golden Lenormand Oracle
Book written by Lunaea Weatherstone

Lenormand cards are, without doubt, the most widely used oracle cards in the world. The Golden Lenormand oracle is a classic 19th century Lenormand, but made with gold foil impressions cards and accompanied by a detailed instruction booklet.

Melle Lenormand is possibly the most famous tarot card reader of all times. She was born in Alençon, France on May 27, 1772 and died on June 25, 1843. She read tarot at court for the French emperor Napoleon and his wife Josephine.

Melle wrote over a dozen books, but they attributed no cards to her creation. Two years after her death, a Madame Breteau, who claimed to be a student of Lenormand, created a 54-card deck. She called her deck Le Grand Jue de Mlle. Lenormand.

In 1845, a 36-card deck was created in Germany and took the deceased Lenormand’s name for its title. It was based on a multi-purpose set of cards for a race game called “Game of Hope”.

Even with this history in mind, many tarot readers will use the Lenormand because of its now significant occult value. The cards offer a direct answer that is much simpler than the esoteric symbolism of tarot.
