New deck: New energy!

Greetings in 2020!

I got so occupied with so much happening in my life that I stopped reading at all.

However, recent events and a strange desire to start reading again, pushed me to order a new deck, which thankfully got delivered the next day & I decided to start posting here again. 

With new energy and new deck, I welcome you all Lenormand Lovers back to my blog!

Importance of imagery on deck

I have seen many decks, like 5-8 till now and they each try to portray a different side of each card in their imagery. I will give an example of the these two cards:

Deck: Lilac Twilight

This is the beautiful and really beautiful deck Lilac Twilight. In this card we can see a ship which is probably facing some rough times in a rough sea. The wave is high, the ocean looks scary, the Ship looks like barely keeping its balance and I don't know how it will survive the angry ocean.

Isabel's Dream Lenormand

what comes to my mind is, a difficult journey, facing troubles, rough journey.

Now take a look at another really really beautiful deck:

A really dream-like scene. Luxurious cruise, perfect day, beautiful waters in my favourite colour, the way I want my ocean to look like, romantic and smooth. This actually symbolises one's dreams of being on a holiday, going travelling in a cruise.

Both decks give me different feelings.  get totally different meanings from both decks. I believe I'm not alone in this.

Now lets look at another of my favourite examples:

This is the 22-Roads card from Titania's deck

Titania's deck

This card looks like a road, a long journey, a path which is taking you somewhere you don't know or cannot see.

On the other hand, this is the Roads card from Mystical Lenormand which has two roads , a choice, a decision coming up.The sign of Libra in the top corner also reminds me that this card is about keeping a balance, a sense of two, with the number 22.

Mystical Lenormand

Now what made me post this post?

I believe I'm not alone in this, but don't we get a different feel from different decks. If yes, then which one is the right choice for us?

Does the imagery on deck changes our meanings for the card and do they help us sticking to the original meanings or do we deviate from them when we have others things added in between?

I cannot tell myself " a choice or a decision" when I look at the Titania's 22-Roads card. I would rather call it a long way.

I have decided to put up a poll on the blog, which you can see right to the left. I would like if I get your opinion on this. Please share your thoughts in comments.

Thank you

is this deck cute or what!

I was going through some random websites trying to find the original blog where the relationship spread in my prvious post has been explained. During that quest of mine, I came across the website www.mydivination.com where I coincidently clicked on the "Answer my thoughts" tab. The reading was generated using this deck called the "Energetic Lenormand" deck and this deck is so awesome it just caught my eye instantly. The colours gave me an instant energy and I felt very enthusiastic (which I have not been feeling really since after the Mars has gone retrograde :grin: ). Look at the concept behind the card, the Storks is an egg, you know something nicer and new will come out of it, the Rider is a Rocket, something that is hitting you really soon, The Rods look like two people are actually fighting using them, The Owls, don't they look the cutest, each card is so wonderful on its own.

I have always been wanting to make my own deck, I feel like I'll be more connected to the cards if I myself paint them, give them a meaning, but I was not sure I will be able to pull it off. This deck has given me a new sense of freedom in terms of expressing myself. I so want to buy some paints and brushes and start painting my own deck. I might as well use some crayons, since I want really vibrant colours (Have been working with the light coloured Blue-owl deck for too long).

I guess this is Universe' way of telling me I need to bring some colours in my life(and my readings :grin:)
