Gilded Reverie Lenormand

by Ciro Marchetti

Acclaimed artist Ciro Marchetti has transformed the traditional Lenormand cards with a rich, new aesthetic featuring gilded edges and accents. Gilded Reverie Lenormand remains true to the iconic 36-card oracle system made famous in the 19th century by Mlle Lenormand, the fortune-teller to Napoleon and Josephine Bonaparte. Recently, there has been a groundswell of renewed interest in reading with Lenormand decks. Gilded Reverie s elaborately detailed images in vivid, jewel-toned colors render the 36-card Lenormand system more appealing and accessible than ever. A 48-page booklet provides insightful interpretations and instructions.

Ciro Marchetti is an award-winning artist who has designed five tarot and oracle decks including Tarot of Dreams and Oracle of Visions. Prints, puzzles and other items featuring his artwork are popular around the world.

This is the most beautiful deck I've ever worked with. The images are stunning!

Great little companion book. Obviously, it doesn't go to the depth of a big guidebook but it gives a clear interpretation of both the traditional and the extra cards, several spreads and example readings, and suggestions on how to use the extra cards. I read it cover to cover and I really enjoyed it!

I’ve had this deck for 6 years and use it on a consistent basis certain times more than others. The artwork, quality and box case are done very well and have yet to fall apart on me.

My sis gave me this deck for Chrsitmas. I love the gold gilded edges and the images. Technically, I have the expanded edition but couldn't find it on here.

Love these cards! I used the standard deck before I got this in, couldn't connect to those at all. The artwork on the Gilded Reverie is stunning! Warm colours, the pictures are great. Sometimes they vary from the default cards. I.e. the Bear is a polar bear, which to me feels like a big plus! The beautifully depicted polar bear tells me so much more than the default Bear! The Ship is flying/sailing through the air, and holds such detail, stunning! I get so more out of these cards, because of they're so detailed and leave more room for your own intuition.
Have a look at some cards! The Mice make me giggle, the Key with the cage clearly says "set yourself free!", the Crossroads are stairs *speaks to me so much more!* and I love the Rider being a woman on a carousel horse, wow!

The gilded edging will wear off, well, if you use them as much as I do!

The little booklet that comes with it, it very good as well. Even though it's small, it does give you all the info you need to know.

I love intuition provoking cards and most of the time I use these while meditating trying to find the vessel of each symbolism in my life. Cards has been helping me to see beyond my ability to see and usually they come accurate together with the energy I give them which kept surprising me all along!

Now when it comes to the cards themselves, they are on the small size of cards, though I have nothing to compare them to, very easy to shuffle and they fit the hands very well. The imaginary in them is very nice and though I am not a fan of any illustrations, these are different.

I even don't recall why or how I ordered these cards! I just had them in my cart which is a surprise being a critical buyer! I don't regret having them though. I was very skeptical getting them but then they amazed me! I don't use them much but sometimes when I want to pull a card to think of a certain issue or situation, I always find these cards helpful! :)
