Latimer's Lenormand Deck

Latimer's Lenormand Deck is a 36-card divinatory tool created by printmaker Nell Latimer, known for her work exploring folklore, esoteric objects, and forgotten histories. This deck utilizes her distinctive linocut art style, which has also been featured in her previous Kickstarter-funded projects, The Commonplace Tarot and Oracle decks. The Lenormand system, with its direct and practical symbolism, is interpreted through Latimer's unique artistic lens, offering a fresh perspective on traditional meanings.

The deck is designed as a compact, square format, measuring 76mm x 76mm, making it convenient for handling and travel. Each card is printed in full color (CMYK) on durable 310gsm Heretic card stock, ensuring a quality feel and longevity. The set includes a 16-page interpretations leaflet, providing guidance for both new and experienced Lenormand readers on the meanings of each card within Latimer's specific artistic context.

Housed in a matte laminated tuck box, the deck emphasizes both aesthetic appeal and practical protection. Latimer's approach to printmaking, which involves creating original artworks at Leicester Print Workshop, imbues the deck with a handcrafted quality that stands apart from mass-produced digital art. This commitment to traditional printmaking techniques makes the deck not just a divinatory tool but also a piece of collectible art.

This deck is ideal for Lenormand readers who appreciate traditional printmaking art and a handcrafted aesthetic. It will appeal to collectors of indie decks and those interested in folklore and esoteric themes. Readers who enjoy a direct, clear divinatory system combined with unique, non-digital artwork will find this deck particularly engaging. It is suitable for both beginners, due to the included interpretations leaflet, and experienced readers looking for a distinctive artistic interpretation of the Lenormand system.
