Scrying Ink Lenormand
Siolo Thompson brings her signature minimalist art style to the images in Scrying Ink Lenormand, a deck that shares the same refreshingly modern qualities that attracted enthusiasm for her Linestrider Tarot.
The thirty-six cards we know today as Lenormand decks are named after Mademoiselle Marie Anne Lenormand, a cartomancer who lived in Paris at the time of the French Revolution. These simple yet eloquent cards, with images like Ship, Stars, and Child, give a different flavor to readings compared to Tarot. Lenormand readings tend to be focused on more practical matters than Tarot, and the cards are considered easier to interpret.
Siolo’s original guidebook for Scrying Ink is filled with helpful commentary easy enough for beginners to Lenormand, but rich enough to engage experienced readers. Scrying Ink’s images take form in just a few lines. Enlivened with bright swipes and splatters of watercolor, with superb use of negative space and command of decorative detail, Siolo Thompson has created a masterful Lenormand deck.
