Beautiful and unusual cartomancy oracle, probably very close to what Madame Lenormand used. It is focused on people and interactions between them, which makes it suitable for relationship readings, but also readings about every day matters (financial, career, spirituality, health etc.) ultimately suitable for any query. I am using the method suggested by the publisher, in the Little White Book written by J. F. Simon, a method that takes into consideration reversals and also the position of the cards among each other. As example, the meaning of the Ace of Diamonds and how it can be interpreted in the spread context:
Ace of Diamonds: correspondence, business or personal affairs; the questioner’s profession.
Upright: denotes an improvement in a troublesome situation, brings light into the game.
Near a heart: fondness, love, friendship.
Near a club: money.
Near a spade: mourning, great sorrow.
Inverted: foretells an imminent danger, mistakes which must be avoided.
You can see by this example how versatile this oracle is, and also the skill and study required to capture the predictive essence.
It has 32 playing cards, clearly early cartomancy cards but with a direct astrological twist, since each card contains an astrological reference as well. The images are very suggestive when it comes to every day life scenes, emotional attitudes of the characters and interactions between people. Moreover, the deck offers the possibility to describe in details physical and psychological traits.
