Hi! Just wanted to let those of you who practice Lenormand know that I have two decks that I created that are available on The Game Crafter website for purchase.

I've been playtesting the Basic Lenormand Deck for over a year now, and I can honestly say it's my go to deck. I created it with the Lenormand learner in mind, and have the playing card inset, a basic image, the card number, the "vibe" of the card, and some pointers for directionality and functionality in a Grand Tableau Method of Distance reading.

The Mirror Lenormand is a much more recent invention that was inspired by conversations with other Lenormand users. The purpose of this deck was to allow the cards to read in more than just one direction. With this deck, Rider can either be bringing something (or someone) to the right or left, the scythe can cut either way, and the book can either be closed and keeping it's secrets or open and letting you find out!

Let me know if you have questions or would like to see more cards!

Thank you for your help!

Hi everyone ! It's been on long journey. More than 700 hours total.
I woke up one day, not knowing anything about spirituality, and had some kind of "vision". I needed to do it. It is a very personnal oracle.
Each cards is a part of my life, visions, and emotions. I aml currently working on the meaning of each cards.
I was wondering, do you guys think it's mandatory to add numbers ?
I also still didn't decide of a name yet, it would be interesting if you had any ideas. I'm curious to see how people perceive my deck.
Do you have any suggestions ? I'm about to print the first prototype soon. Thank you !

I started making my own handmade oracle cards and I'm looking for some ~*gentle*~ feedback

I painted the spirits I've met in the gardens and swamps around my hometown in upstate NY. I've been making them into booster packs because I can't settle on a deck size and how do I write about them and like leave space for people to grow their own ideas. Idk how do you write about your ideas when they don't always feel like they are your own ya know?? I don't

I just did five more today and I'm looking for inspiration, who should I paint next? Can I do a portrait of your favorite flower???

This is one of my favorite cards in the deck to pull, and also one of the most deceptively simple.

A stacking ring toy. Something almost every person alive has touched at some point, usually before they had words for what anything meant. That's intentional. The Child isn't asking you to be naive or to pretend things aren't hard. It's asking you to remember what it felt like to approach something without already having decided what it was.

When this card shows up I tend to read it as a signal that whatever you're facing wants to be met fresh. Not with everything you already know about it, not with the weight of every time something similar went sideways before. Just what is actually here, right now, if I look at it without all of that?

The rainbow rings also carry something I didn't fully plan when I painted it. They're ordered, stacked, complete, but they're still a toy. Still something made for play. I think that tension is worth sitting with.

The Child is one of 48 hand-painted acrylic cards in The Quiet Knowing Oracle Deck Second Edition, currently live on KS with 5 days remaining. Link in comments if you're curious.

I finally finished my handmade oracle deck: Oracle of Shadows.

A dark oracle built through photomontage, fragmented portraits, and symbolic imagery inspired by vanitas and horror aesthetics.

Everything was made by hand using real photographs — no AI involved.

These are a few cards and the small guidebook included with the deck.

I also made a short video presentation here:

Would love to know which card speaks to you the most.

#Context

We have been together for almost 4 years. Separated now but together for most of it as she has untreated bipolar. I'm tied down to her through religious beliefs, and I feel genuine resentment. I want to love her, but this love feels like it's not enough when she doesn't put in the effort. She says that she wants treatment, but saying isn't the same thing as doing it.

She has genuinely never apologized. Not once. Her medical condition might explain her mood swings, but it's not an excuse to never take accountability. She says that the only reason she reaches out to me to reconnect is so that we can have sex. Not because I matter to her as a person.

She told me that she remembers feeling angry, and when I asked her what I did wrong, she admits that she forgot the reasons why. But because she still feels this lingering anger, she will remain feeling it instead of resolving it. I have never met such a person who thinks this??

We haven't been in contact for almost a year. I want to talk to her, but she blocked me. I can't go to her and reach her even if I want to.

You see, the last time we spoke, she said that she wanted to have sex but because I knew that this was what she always wanted, I decided to stop the cycle. I told her that I loved her but I also love myself. I cannot continue doing what she wants only for the cycle to keep on repeating. She then said that she will never talk to me ever again all because I refused to give her my body.

And she has stuck by her word since.

My heart is torn apart. I love her, I really do. And it hurts me that she doesn't love me back.

#My Interpretation

> "Should I be with someone else?"

Three of Swords, Ace of Wands.

The Ace of Wands and Three of Swords together show me that this heartbreak is pushing me towards a new beginning rather than telling me to stay stuck in this never ending pain. I should accept the emotional truth and allow myself to move forward in life with hope for a different future.

> "But what about my marriage?"

Ace of Swords, Five of Swords reversed.

The Five of Swords reversed and Ace of Swords shows that my marriage is at a point where this conflict and confusion needs to be faced honestly instead of avoided. Instead of forcing things to work at all costs, I should be telling the truth and decide for myself what genuinely brings peace in my life, instead of continuing this ongoing pain and resentment.

Hey all! Wanted to share some of the progress with my oracle deck, The Eigengrau. I have been getting a ton of amazing feedback and comments on my shop. If you havent had a chance to check it out, here are what folks are saying:

>“This is such an unbelievable deck. The imagery is thought provoking, the artwork is breathtakingly original, and the quality of the cards themselves is outstanding.”

— Julie (Etsy)

>“The Eigengrau Oracle contains the most profound inward perception than any other oracle deck.”

— JEN-E (Etsy User)

>“Unique & untamed. Expressive. Powerful. A wonderful tool for insightful readings or spiritual guidance. I highly recommend”

— Emerald (Etsy User)

“This deck is genius, beautifully rendered, top quality, and super thoughtful. I'm a science nerd and also a tarot/oracle collector, so whenever I find a deck that skews away from the "woo" and towards history and/or systems and then has a graphical quality to it, I'm a goner. This deck is a dream. The cards are gorgeous, they can be read two ways each, and the guidebooks offers a great amount of information while also being a launching point for your own take and exploration of the cards you draw. I love this [ ] I wish more oracle decks were like this.”

Im Trying to jump back into reddit after a long absence. Im finding I ave been getting a ton of resistance from reddit filters. Im not sure what I am doing incorrectly. I am following the rules of each subreddit. Does anyone know why this could be happening?

Looking for some feedback on some artwork on a deck I am working on. Ive hit a bit of a snag and I am looking to see what folks think about some cards Ive already created. All comments welcome.
Do folks like the fill black and white? flat color background? textured backgrounds?

I have been working on this for a while, but I took a long break for some other projects. Trying to jump back in

i am drawn to the cards bc of how beautiful they are!!! but before i buy i wanna know if anyone has used these and if they like them!!
