This collection of tarot cards features eight physical decks from Novus Fumus: seven tarot decks and one Lenormand fortune-telling card deck. You'll find art-inspired and mystical themes, a classic Rider-Waite tarot in pocket size, and a separate Lenormand deck. Below, you can read what distinguishes tarot from Lenormand and how to choose the deck that suits you.
Tarot is a set of cards originally used for card games and later also for divination. Tarot cards began as playing cards and gained esoteric associations in the eighteenth century. A modern tarot deck typically consists of 78 cards: 22 Major Arcana cards representing major life themes and 56 Minor Arcana cards dealing with more everyday subjects.
The styles and themes within this collection vary widely:
Most tarot decks in this collection cost €45. The pocket editions of the Rider-Waite Tarot (€10) and the Lenormand deck (€8) are the more compact and affordable options.
Tarot and Lenormand are two distinct card traditions. Tarot, as described above, works with 78 cards and rich symbolic imagery that is interpreted in a spread. Lenormand works differently: the Petit Lenormand traditionally consists of 36 illustrated cards, each with a fixed keyword. The Lenormand deck in this collection has 37 cards in pocket size. In a spread, you typically combine 3, 5, 7, or 9 cards, where the keywords together form a message instead of the extensive symbolism of tarot.
The tarot decks in this collection range from art-inspired designs to historical and mystical themes. If a particular art style, mythology, or period appeals to you, that's a logical starting point for choosing a deck.
Seven tarot decks are in regular size. The Rider-Waite Tarot and the Lenormand deck are also available as pocket editions: more compact in size, convenient for carrying or storing.
Several tarot decks in this collection come with an illustrated guidebook that explains the meaning and structure of the cards. To check if this applies to a specific deck, please refer to the product page.
Several tarot decks in this collection are marked as suitable for beginners. No prior knowledge is needed: start with a small spread around a specific question and use the included guidebook, if available, as a guide for interpreting the cards.
