Much like pictures here it was a very old deck vintagey, but the colours were still vivid they smelt of musk and dust 😁I bought it of eBay and this is when I started dreaming and going in the deck it had a small piece of paper with 3 word meaning to each card does anyone know there real spelling , origin of the cards they were stunning and the only ones I’ve ever been able to connect with thanks ? 

Hey Page, I've never heard of anything like this and am very curious. Can you give any other information? Based on that title I can't find anything on the internet. Can you post pics?

The Swiss 1JJ Tarot deck is a 78-card deck used for the tarot card games Troccas and Troggu and also for divination.

HistoryEdit

The deck is derived from the Tarot de Besançon which itself comes from the Tarot of Marseilles.^[1][2] It is an Italian suited pack which substitutes the figures of Juno and Jupiter in place of the Popess and Pope of the Tarot of Marseilles. The first version was produced between 1831 and 1838 in the card factory of Johann Georg Rauch. It was the first tarot packmade by the factory and was unexpectedly successful in the American market. The first version was manufactured, unaltered, by his successor, Johannes Müller in Diessenhofenuntil 1860.^{[3](wikipedia)}

Yes, so far this is the most interesting deck I have ever used. Simple and vivid, it helps my reading.

Where does the "Lenomades" come from? I've never heard this name in connection with the 1JJ

It is an anagram of "lemonades".

 

I like to think of the Swiss 1JJ deck as the "Tales of the Unexpected Deck". It was used in the credits of that British TV series, in one episode of which I remember seeing a woman drink some lemonade.

So was "Lenomades" actually an official name associated with the deck? or was it called "Les Nomades" or something pun-related?

I actually think it is "Lenormande".
