Under the Roses Lenormand Cards – Digital, April 21, 2014

There are many reasons I love this deck! Ok so I’m not new to tarot or other oracle decks; I’ve been practicing for decades. I am new to Lenormand but this is the perfect deck for learning the Lenormand system & here’s why.Each Lenormand card is associated with a pip card. Lots of different styles don’t include the image of the pip but this deck includes it in a nice lil box on the corner of each card. The symbols are simple while also being beautiful. This deck also features the key word directly on the cards, so that with the little pip box make this such an excellent deck to learn on while also maintaining the beauty of the pictures under the pip.I was so drawn to these cards due to the artwork especially. The keywords do not detract from the art at all. The art gives you a beautiful feeling of haunting nostalgia in a way that’s hard for me to explain. They’re the smallest cards I own (besides Tiny Tarot) but it is SUCH evocative set of artworks!There’s also a guidebook to help you with the keywords. The original deck doesn’t come with a guidebook I believe but this one does, which is also great for learning.One of my favorite things about this deck are the optional cards for child, ladies & gentleman! That was a very thoughtful thing to include with this deck.They shuffle very smoothly. I never riffle shuffle but I expect them to riffle easily if that’s how you like to shuffle! They’re great with both horizontal & vertical overhand shuffle, I know that! The card stock is also nice. They’re smaller than standard playing card size.I’ve included a picture for reference. This deck is the one in the middle (rose on the back), with a standard size tarot card from my Intuitive Night Goddess deck on the left side (black back with white stars) & a card from my Vanessa Tarot deck, which is the size of standard playing cards on the right (purple back with blue stars) for comparison.I absolutely recommend this deck to anyone, especially if you’re just beginning to learn Lenormand like I am! But even if you’ve practiced with traditional or other Lenormand style cards, I still recommend this deck! Even just based on the feeling it gives me when looking at it & the beautiful art with the simple meanings. Hopefully you understand what I mean when I said it gives a haunting sense of nostalgia, because I mean it in a good way! It’s a beautiful little deck!

This is by far and away one of my most favorite Lenormand decks. It’s perfect and I love the extra man, woman and child cards! As do clients. One of my most accurate decks probably. I can tell a lot of the people who complain about size are unfamiliar with the Lenormand system and how it’s read…much like Kipper. They’re meant to be smaller as Grand Tableau spreads use all of the cards. I would recommend brushing up on those areas before leaving a bad review based solely on the size of the cards. It’s kind of unfair to the creators and consumers. I can appreciate a difference of opinion, but it’s just happening SO often from people who aren’t getting how this works at all. It’s pretty standard in size when it comes to Lenormand/Kipper cards. It’s why they’re less costly (usually). I think it’s pretty fair honestly. Then again…I have petite hands. I wouldn’t pass this deck up based on reviews about size though because this specific deck is absolutely worth it!

They are my favorite sized cards to work with. Beautiful illustrations. The meaning of the card is so faintly incorporated into the background of the card, which is a nice detail. I recommend them because they are easy to read. There is a booklet included but it's the 1st deck that I can truly read with just intuition. I plan to buy a 2nd set for when this deck gets worn out or damaged.

Good quality with proper packing. Cards are made of high grade card board. I like the pictures of each piece of card.

the Under the Roses Lenormand cards are very nice they are very small and you can you it inside your pockets very easily.the cards it self if you look at one card you are able to see key words of what one card means, so for example the card "the sickle" number 10 on the bottom left hand side of the card you can faintly see the word "break" this key work really helps when you are trying to do a reading and you are new.The little small booklet it comes with, is also very nice because of all the words that you can barley see on the cards are inside of this booklet for example in the booklet if you turn to the sickle card number 10 page 12. it has other meanings but also had the word that we were barley able to see on the left hand side of the card was also in it. so that means the booklet is just revealing all the hidden words that are on the cardsI have got this in a very nice packaging with bubble wrap all around iti would recomend these cards for a person who is new with lerormand cards
