Sweet Blossom Lenormand

Sweet Blossom Lenormand - botanical Lenormand by a Dutch illustrator

Irene Captijn did not come to this deck through decades of cartomancy practice. She discovered Lenormand during a hospital stay in 2020, and decided to design her own cards. That starting point shows in the result: something made with personal investment, not assembled to a formula.

The Sweet Blossom Lenormand contains the traditional 36 Lenormand cards, plus two extra significator cards for same-sex readings. It is part of a seasonal series, alongside the Autumn's Embrace Lenormand and forthcoming summer and winter editions.

What you see on the cards

Blooming flowers appear on every card. Captijn is known for botanical detail and clear symbolism, and both are present here. The mood is light and oriented toward optimism, which fits the spring theme running through the deck.

The compact size of 57 x 89 mm sits comfortably in most hands. The classic Lenormand imagery is still recognisable, but wrapped in an illustrative style that is softer and more botanical than most traditional Lenormand sets.

The guidebook

The included guidebook runs to 68 pages and covers the history of Lenormand and methods for reading the cards. Both the guidebook and the cards are in English.

The two extra significator cards are a practical addition for readers who work with same-sex couples. The complete traditional set of 36 Lenormand cards is fully present.
