Magic Lenormand Cards have been created to mark the 220th anniversary of the first edition of Petite Lenormand, published in 1799 by the German publisher Johann Kaspar Hechtel, who co-opted the name of the famous French fortuneteller of the Napoleonic era Marie Anne Adelaide Lenormand for his “Game of Hope”. Instruction sheet of Philippe Lenormand (was allegedly a nephew) how to read the Lenormand cards published on October 19, 1903, in the magazine "The Evening World’s Home Magazine (New York City)" was supplemented by illustration from our deck.
