Mlle Lenormand Blue Owl

I give this deck 5 Stars for it's ease of use, accuracy, and detail. I have been reading Tarot for well over 25 years, but had never really jumped on the Lenormand bandwagon. There are so many varieties circulating - just as in Tarot - it took me some time to discover these. Although they are small (a tad smaller than a deck of regular playing cards,) I was shocked with the accuracy and ease of use these provided. This particular Blue Owl deck has the poetry verses as opposed to the typical numbered suits, but I don't find that in the least bit deterring. The Lenormand is nothing like Tarot, so fair warning to those wishing to use these as such. Overall, I would recommend this deck to beginners and adepts alike, even if only to add to one's collection.

This is my very first Lenormand. I like the size of the card. It is small but not too much. It actually fits to the thicker business card case which is 40+ cards available one. Yes, it is very compact to carry. I am carrying this card every day so that I can review if I have a chance. The picture is beautiful, and the verses are implicative and helpful for imagination. I also purchased a book called "The Secret of the Lenormand Oracle." This book is very helpful to learn how to read the spread since the small booklet that comes with the deck is not enough for me.

While these are decent Lenormand cards for the price, be aware that these do NOT have playing card inserts--so if that's important to you, you wont find them here. I now just use them as a base deck for houses when I'm throwing a GT spread. If you want the inserts, you will need to purchase the Lenormand Orakelkarten - blaue Eule deck which has the inserts. I believe that deck maybe ships from Ukraine. If you're just starting out and don't care about the playing card inserts, this is fine, and a little cheaper than the other deck. You can always also customize the playing card inserts by drawing a symbol on the card, if you don't mind doing such things.

Because it's the size of playing cards, I had hesitated to purchase the Mlle Lenormand Blue Owl Deck. But quite honestly, I've no regrets in having bought this deck. The images are good quality, and the poems remind me of the stories my mother told me as she was teaching me about the Tarot and Oracle meanings of the Tarot, back when I was a little girl at her kitchen table. The images relate to the politics and the culture of the French of that era. As soon as I saw 'the fox'(Le Renard), I knew right away I would work well with this deck. As soon as I started reading with this deck, the deck worked well with me...

I'm brand new to tarot and oracle cards, never used them but have read ALOT about them and have been dying to try them. So far this deck is very easy to understand, especially for a beginner. I can literally FEEL the energy in them. For the price and clarity of the cards I highly recommend this deck to people like me just getting into cartomancy. I'm sure advanced readers would also love these cards especially with the history attached to the deck. Overall I am very happy with them and would buy it again for sure. Go ahead and try them, you won't be dissapointed!

This little deck is a classic. It is good quality and the images are clear and beautiful. The price is incredible. I will certainly order another one of these for a spare. Great for beginners like me.

With poems of the definition on each card printed along with the picture. The one thing I do not like is that the cards do not have which suit they belong too and the pictures are kind of on the dull side. But all-in-all, the cards are very easy to handle and shuffle because they are as small as a regular deck of playing. Easy to carry around in your pocket or purse. I am satisfied with this deck and enjoy using for a daily one card read, while I get use to the deck and their meanings.

I've had these cards for about 6 months now and I think they're wonderful! The booklet that comes with the deck is useless and might as well be thrown away. But I did purchase Sylvie Steinbach's "The secrets of the lenormand oracle" book, and that has been much more helpful! These cards specifically seem to be eerily accurate for the most part. Coming from a strong tarot background, lenormand were slightly difficult to adjust to, but now, truthfully, I haven't picked up one of my tarot decks in a long time. Lenormand just make more sense, are easier to interpret and really get down into the details of a situation, unlike the relative ambiguity of your average tarot deck reading.

This is a new 2011 print version, AG Muller, with the verses in English. It's a lovely little deck. The printing is clear and crisp, card stock is good. Comes with a booklet of instructions (LWB). I am very pleased with this deck, there aren't many other Lenormands that have the English verses on.

Stpende! non molto grandi, manegevoli, ottimo cartoncino

The English verses use the near and far method but you can still use the cards to do different layouts. Not all Cartomancers use the near and far method in the Grand Tableau but the cards are nice just the same. The verses won't interfere with interpretation of the cards if you read the Grand Tableau using other methods such as diagonals, knights, houses, past/present/future and so on.

Every Tarot reader or fortune teller should have a Lenormand deck, these are very powerful and symbolic cards, abd have some beautiful artwork. Now, these are the cards with the rhymes but they are NOT the ones with the Playing Card inserts, be aware of this before you buy. That said, either this deck OR the Mystical Lenormand deck are very similar eanings, both aesthetically pleasing, and scarily accurate when used correctly. If you decide these are not for you, check out the other deck by all means. As far as the Blue Owl goes though, they look vintage which looks really good in your collection. Not only that but Mlle. Lenormand was a widely respected fortune teller, so visitors will probably have heard of her (she read for Napoleon among others).......... Which serves only to further add to the charm.

I felt guided to purchase these cards,during a coffee reading I noticed a stalk,representing a person,with an owl,which represents wisdom,a teacher coming into your life and spiritual guidance.Later during the week I was browsing Amazon and noticed this deck-the owl being exactly the same as I saw in my cup,I'd heard of lenormand cards before but hadn't worked with any . Deciding it might have been a sign I brought them and am so glad I did! They are an attractive deck,in an old fashioned style with verses on each, which although I like they do not always seem to fit the cards meaning,and some are very full of doom,the mountain for example: The mountain retreat holds a formidable foe. To avoid defeat strike hard the first blow. From a distance is seen the start of despair; Beyond the ravine hinds a beast in his lair. The booklet is very short,a mere 15 pages with 1 spread,so I feel you really need a good book with these,'The essential lenormand 'by Rana George is fantastic,and very indepth so would be good with these. I am very impressed with the lenormand cards and feel there is alot to learn from them,so I guess my coffee reading was right.
