Mystical Lenormand Cards - egg tempera paintings on the 36 classic symbols
Lenormand cards work in combinations. Three cards side by side form a sentence, five cards a story. That calls for clear images that read quickly.
This deck was created by Regula Elizabeth Fiechter and artist Urban Trösch. Fiechter writes about Lenormand and tarot, Trösch paints in egg tempera. That technique mixes pigment with egg yolk and gives the cards a bright, almost luminous quality.
What you see on the cards
All 36 traditional symbols are present: the Rider, the Scythe, the Heart, the Snake. The style is fairytale-like without becoming childish. Colours are bright, details are present but not overloaded.
Characters look in a specific direction. Backgrounds contain small details that can add an extra layer to your reading. The imagery invites you to add your own associations to the classic meanings.
The format is compact: 57 x 89 mm. That keeps a Grand Tableau manageable on the table.
How you work with it
The guidebook is 34 pages and describes the core meanings for each card. It also explains three basic spreads. No extensive philosophy, just enough to get started.
This deck is designed for daily use. The cardstock has a light gloss and feels sturdy. The cards shuffle smoothly.
When interpreting, pay attention to the direction characters are looking. Trösch uses this deliberately to make currents in a reading visible.

Questions we often get
Why is the format so compact?
Lenormand readings often use all 36 cards at once in a Grand Tableau. The small format ensures such a spread fits on an average table and remains clear.
Is the guidebook sufficient for someone without Lenormand experience?
Yes. The guide gives the core meaning for each card and explains three spreads. That is enough to begin. For more extensive combination work you can consult a separate Lenormand book later.
