Lenormand is a deck of A 36-card system. It grew out of a German parlour game from 1799, and took the name of the French fortune teller Marie Anne Lenormand after her death in 1843.
Every card is a real thing from ordinary life — rider, ship, house, dog, key. That is why the answers land so plainly: ask about work and you get work, ask about a relationship and you get the relationship, with no detour through symbolism.
In one sentence:Lenormand reads like a diary, tarot like a poem. It is at its best with situational questions — "what should I actually do about this?"
