Looking for a Lenormand deck with as purest imagery as possible

[Marisa Kirisame]

Cheersies! Given how the Lenormand section had been active lately, I felt I could ask if there's a suitable deck.

 

You see, I've often admired Lenormand decks for the high purity of their card symbols - with each card, by default, containing a single symbol only (albeit a vague enough one). And so, I'm looking for a deck which has it's illustrations drawn in a correspondingly simple and pure way. A Fox that looks as close to the concept of the Fox as possible, a House depicted being the very idea of the House and so on - it's a bit hard to explain in detail, but I hope you will understand my line of thought. Are there any decks which, in your opinion, fit my description?

Thank you in advance!

Hello Marisa

There are several.  The closest the Petit Lenormand has come to a standard edition is the Dondorf: http://gameofhopelenormand.bigcartel.com/product/le-fanu-s-lilac-dondorf-is-returning

 

There is also the Jeu Lenormand by Carta Mundi:

https://www.amazon.fr/Jeu-Petit-Lenormand-Coffret-original/dp/2841978230/ref=sr_1_2?__mk_fr_FR=ÅMÅŽÕÑ&dchild=1&keywords=jeu+lenormand+cartamundi&qid=1619881180&sr=8-2

 

And the Blaue Eule by Köngsfurt :

https://www.amazon.fr/Lenormand-Orakelkarten-Blaue-Eule/dp/3905017032/ref=sr_1_1?__mk_fr_FR=ÅMÅŽÕÑ&dchild=1&keywords=lenormand+blaue&qid=1619881219&sr=8-1

 

But if you desire real purity, you might prefer the Das Spiel der Hoffnung:

https://www.amazon.fr/Ur-Lenormand-Spiel-Hoffnung-Alexander-Glück/dp/B00H8S9LPC/ref=sr_1_1?__mk_fr_FR=ÅMÅŽÕÑ&crid=2X1CDHM3X5SRT&dchild=1&keywords=ur+lenormand&qid=1619881312&sprefix=Ur+l%2Caps%2C162&sr=8-1

Thanks! Yes, a few details aside, Das Spiel der Hoffnung is what I am looking for.

Enjoy. There are a couple of independent editions available, which are of better quality than the one listed on Amazon.

Well, I'll probably order it from one of the retailers in Russia to avoid the case where the delivery is more expensive than the deck itself (and also so that I could get my hands on the deck faster).
