THE COMPLETE
LENORMAND
ORACLE
HANDBOOK
“An outstanding, definitive handbook for both beginners and
experienced readers that gives a ‘big picture’ view of the Lenor-
mand deck! Caitlin starts where most others leave off, exploring
the original cartomantic tradition and combining it with modern
techniques connected to those roots. As someone who appre­
ciates the classic wisdom of the Grand Tableau, I’m so happy
to see it taught this well, step by step, so anyone can use it.”

content will satisfy the novice, the journeyman, and the expert
alike. Essential for your shelf!”
