Art Nouveau Lenormand - 36 Lenormand cards in Art Nouveau style
Most Lenormand sets go for a clean, illustrative look. This one takes a different path. Antonella Castelli, an Italian fine artist, painted all 36 figures in a pronounced Art Nouveau style: flowing lines, floral motifs, a warm and feminine palette.
The result is a set that looks quite different from most of what is available. Where standard Lenormand cards tend toward the plain and functional, these carry the decorative atmosphere of late nineteenth-century painting.
What you see on the cards
Castelli gave each of the 36 traditional Lenormand symbols its own fully painted composition. Flowers and organic shapes run through the imagery. The colours are warm and saturated, with the rounded, fluid forms typical of Art Nouveau.
The cards measure 88 x 125 mm, a format that sits comfortably in the hand and shuffles easily. A multilingual guidebook is included.
Lunaea Weatherstone's texts
Lunaea Weatherstone wrote the meanings for this deck. She has worked with tarot and Lenormand for more than forty years, and is a priestess, writer and tarot counselor based in Portland, Oregon. She was owner and editor of SageWoman magazine and leads programmes in goddess spirituality.
Her background is clearly woven into the feminine imagery Castelli chose. Text and image connect at that point in a way that feels considered rather than coincidental.
If you know the classical Lenormand system but want a set with richer visual depth, this is a solid option. The imagery departs from the standard, but the card meanings stay within the traditional framework.

Whether this set works as a starting point depends largely on whether the painterly visual style appeals to you.
