How NOT to make a Lenormand deck (and how to choose a good one)

Here is another video i did on this topic:

   • Making  (or Finding) Clear Lenormand Decks  

Many artists are making Lenormand decks that are pretty...but are they functional? Here is a plea to artists who are making Lenormands, with features that are helpful to readers as well as features that hider or detract from readings.

If you're inspired to make a Lenormand, please take the time to watch this video. It may save your butt. There are a lot of Lenormand decks coming out, some of them lovely or very cute but impossible (or at best, challenging) to read as a Lenormand oracle. This video shows basic features that are necessary to fast, functional readings, and what to avoid in decks. This is the information nobody tells you but what readers complain about in their frustrating decks.


What are Lenormand readers looking for in their cards? Is your deck prioritizing a cute theme over its potential reading ability? Does it have the necessary features to provide fast, CLEAR readings?


This video will also be useful to people new to Lenormnand who are wondering what image features will make a good, working deck. Are you ready to buy your first decks? Here are features to consider looking for.


This is one of my longer videos, but this 27-minute video may save your tushie and prevent you from spending weeks creating a deck that is perhaps quite cute, but considered unreadable by most Lenormand enthusiasts familiar with the system.

*Remember: It is not tarot. Lenormand cards are read in clusters.*

I understand that some people may find this video controversial, but it may save you a lot of trouble to know what features are useful to readers and which features ruin a deck's ability to provide a decent reading. I hope it assists in better deck outcomes with clearer reading potential.

I provide visual comparisons between functional decks and difficult-to-use decks so you can see the difference how each performs in a large spread. By the end of this video, you'll see why simplicity and clarity override fancy themes or busy, pretty pictures.
