Tarot, Magic & Witchcraft The lovely and limited reproduction deck of Maria Anne Lenormand’s unique tarot cards – originally published in 1850 – put together in a box with a very special miniature book and instruction for reading the 36 full colour cards. There is great fan community for Tarot Cards in USA and UK. An extract from a review (USA): (http://mycuriouscabinet.wordpress.com/2012/04/17/an-unmentioned-lenormand): “It is a beautiful little mid-19th Century deck and deserves to be more well known. (...) I have not seen any other Lenormand deck with representations as peculiar as these. (...) This deck comes in a boxed set and for those who do not understand German, only the cards themselves will be useful, but since the deck is reasonably priced I suspect most will buy the set and not begrudge it the German language hardback pocketbook which has a short history of Mme Lenormand and her cards as well as some card meanings. It is the deck that really makes this set worthwhile. It also comes with two folded facsimilie sheets (22.5 cm by 26 cm), one in French and one in German gothic script, which contain directions for laying out the Grand Tableau and also brief card meanings. (...) In terms of imagery, this is exactly how I like my Lenormand cards; the symbol at its most succinct, the playing card insert, the card number and nothing more. (...) This Lenormand re-edition was put together by Alexander Glück. The original deck came from a private collection and was first reissued in 1982, a limited edition in a wooden box with every single card coloured by hand. From three copies of these he selected the best, most delicately coloured ones and put together a single complete deck. (...) Glück’s restoration work is impeccable. (...) This is a very beautiful historical Lenormand and one I would recommend.” » text and picture material of the book can be used for a larger format Basics in Hobby & Crafts: Knitting ABC der Handarbeiten: Stricken Paperback ● 64 pages ● with several b/w and colour photos Language: German 16,5 x 23 cm ● ISBN 978-3-89798-310-6 ● € 9,90 1st Edition: 2012 (2 print-runs) Topseller.
