<p>The most common tradition of Tarot today only goes back one hundred years. The Tarot, however, is much older. Now you can use the type of cards that influenced the modern system, bringing a true level of authenticity and history to all of your Tarot readings. The <em>Tarot Lenormand</em> combines the famous <em>Lenormand Oracle</em> deck with Etteilla&rsquo;s <em>Thoth Tarot</em>, a bit of the modern tradition, and puts it all together with a twist of modern wit and cleverness and a dollop of original design. How can it do all this? By being inspired by all of these decks rather than just copying them. The result is something very unique and original, but also familiar enough for use by most Tarot readers. The difference is that these updated ancient designs will give your readings a feeling of true antiquity and a power not found in other Tarot decks.<br /><br />Although it is based on a combination of symbols and styles, this tarot deck features beautiful, clean, and uncluttered art that truly represents its Napoleonic setting. It feels unified, comprehensive, fresh and new. This feeling will carry into your Tarot readings and meditations, bringing new interpretations, concepts, and depth. This isn&rsquo;t just a copy of other decks; it&rsquo;s something that is familiar while being unlike any other Tarot deck.<br /><br />And that&rsquo;s the key to this deck. It&rsquo;s both very old in style and yet as modern as tomorrow. Perfect for people of any spiritual system, this intriguing deck is a must for all Tarot practitioners and collectors.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Publisher Review:</strong></p> <p>This deck, <em>Tarot Lenormand</em> (TL), is a very ambitious project.

How does it do that you ask? Well, mostly by being more of a homage and exploration than a slavish imitation. The Major Arcana cards draw on the Major Arcana of the Etteilla deck. Some of these are very similar in composition to the Eteilla designs, Justice, Strength, the Lovers (although a cupid is added to the TL card), the Magician, the Wheel, and the Chariot, for example. Some, while not as similar, do give a definite nod to the Etteilla cards. The World card in both shows a naked figure draped in red on a path. In the TL, the figure is female and holds a branch while in the Eteilla card the figure is male and holds a club. The TL Hermit and the Tower cards both have striking similarities to the Etteilla cards in terms of the buildings depicted.</p> <p>The RWS influence is seen in the existence of (but not traditional depictions of ...read more</p>
