Lustrous Lenormand


I have the Kipper and Lenormand decks by Ciro Marchetti  and I love his work.  This deck, though, is really impressing me because of the extra cards and Toni Savory's contribution in meanings of all the cards.  Toni Savory wrote the accompanying book and she's done quite an amazing job of it.  The deck has 11 added cards and that, in my opinion, really make the readings so much more enlightening and helpful for your sitter.  

 

I haven't had much time to really sit down and study the book and deck in depth yet but I've launched my study officially recently.  I've made a little bag for the deck.  I have the deck and book beside me so I can easily spend time doing some reading and studying whenever I have the urge or the time.  

 

There are 11 added cards which are:

 

28/29  Two each of the Man and Woman cards

37  Time

38  Well

39  Dice

40  Compass

41  Bridge

42  Masks

43  Labyrinth

44  Closer Look

 

I won't go on with describing the book and deck because it's such a detailed and extensive deck/book but I'm going to dedicate the rest of 2026 to the Lustrous Lenormand.  I've read Tarot for so many years but I've only used Lenormand much less frequently so this is going to be very rewarding and stimulating.  I moved (when will it ever stop? lol) to another space in the park where I have more room and less distraction so I'm going to start doing readings for neighbors and, of course, for people online to get very experienced with the deck and the spreads in the book, etc.  If it's allowed, I'll offer some readings in exchange for feedback here on the forum if members will be so kind as to help me in that way.  I'll check with the mods to be sure I don't do anything not allowed before I put out any offers.

I bought this, this year as well. My only complaint about it is why is the box so big! I was worried when it arrived and I opened the box and would the Lenormand cards be like giant size but they are still the poker size, in a tiny groove under the book 😂

 

He had the same extra cards in the Gilded Reverie Lenormand (Expanded Edition). The problem was the book had a tiny amount of text for those extra cards and I found it difficult to include them in the combinations. There were quite a few discussions on this forum and apparently the card themes and names, feature in other European Cartomancy, so they fit in the genre, they are just not traditionally Lenormand. Anyway this deck has a lot about those cards, in that big book, and I find some so much easier to use here as well.

 

I like this deck 🙂

I like it too, Daniel.  And the book is the best one I've read about Lenormand and how to use it.  I find it so helpful.  I'm going to be using the deck intensively.  

 

I especially like that the book gives information and inspiration on the categories of core meanings, traditional meanings, the imagery on 

each card, work, love, health, daily advice and then some further tips and keywords.  

 

Toni goes on to add spreads and illustrations and a very thorough explanation of how to read them.  She gives a full Grand Tableau in which she uses 36 cards but I'm eventually going to try using the whole deck.  

 

The book contains so much information and so many helps for the reader that I can't imagine another book being needed for learning the deck and its uses. 

 

I'm a latecomer on finding this deck because it's been out for a few years now.  I've been less active with Tarot and Lenormand in the last several years but this deck and book have inspired me all over again.
