Description

A beautiful gift or for personal use, this kit contains a colorful towel with the image of the Gypsy Maw printed by the sublimation method, a deck of 36 colored cards of the Gypsy Maw, following the line of the Lenormand deck, for being the best known and admired. It also comes with a brief manual with basic information to “open the deck”, a gold lamé bag to store the deck, and a brochure about the importance of the mandala.

This deck was created to pay homage to the gypsy figure, and its function is to give continuity to the knowledge of the divination arts, as well as to the culture of this people, which is done verbally from generation to generation.

It is a deck that follows the Lenormand deck method.

The cards were elaborated with a wealth of details, with an explanatory booklet where the origin and meaning of the suits, numbers, court figures and the central illustration, and ways to open the deck are presented, thus facilitating a broad interpretation of all the symbolism.

About the Lenormand oracle

French fortune teller Marie Anne Lenormand (1768-1843), universally known as Mlle Lenormand, became famous due to her privileged connections with Empress Josephine de Beauharnais and her husband Napoleon Bonaparte. Her socializing with the high society of the time earned her the nickname “Sibyl of the salons”, inspiring the creation of a 52 figure guessing game published in 1828. Around 1840, this game was redesigned and reduced to 36 cards, giving rise to the “Petit Lenormand”, a divination system that is still among the most appreciated in the world today.

The Lenormand deck is often called the gypsy deck or gypsy oracle.
