EDITORS COMMENTS
This image showcases the Grand Jeu De Mlle. Lenormand, also known as the Fates deck, a historic and enigmatic set of fortune-telling cards created by the renowned 19th-century French clairvoyant, Catherine Lenormand. Dating back to approximately 1820, this paranormal artifact offers a glimpse into the rich history of cartomancy and the mystical practices of the past. The Fates deck, consisting of 36 cards, is believed to have been inspired by the Greek mythological figures of the Moirai, or the Fates, who controlled the threads of human destiny. Lenormand's interpretation of these ancient deities is reflected in the design of her cards, which feature intricate and symbolic illustrations of various elements, such as the Heart, Stars, Mountain, and Crossroads. The Grand Jeu De Mlle. Lenormand was not only a tool for divination but also a work of art, as evidenced by the exquisite detail and craftsmanship that can be seen in this photograph. Each card is adorned with intricate engravings, vibrant colors, and delicate embellishments, making it a collector's item and a fascinating piece of historical paraphernalia. Lenormand, who was renowned for her psychic abilities and her uncanny accuracy in interpreting the cards, used the Fates deck to provide guidance, insight, and reassurance to her clients. Her readings were sought after by the elite of European society, including Napoleon Bonaparte and the Empress Josephine, adding to the allure and mystique of the cards and their creator. This photograph of the Fates deck offers a unique opportunity to explore the history of cartomancy and the enigmatic world of Mlle. Lenormand, whose influence on the art of fortune-telling continues to be felt to this day.
