La Santa Muerte

Mind Body & Soul Ezine Card Deck Review: La Santa Muerte Lenormand by Dan M Pelletier with illustrations by Callie L French. Published by REDFeather (Schiffer Publishing) US $ 24.99 : UK £22.99 Published 22nd Sept 2022

The ‘Lady of Holy Death’ oracle cards have a novelty magnetic closure box with eye cut-aways revealing the heads and shoulders of the dancing male and female significator skeletons of this deck. The pack contains a full colour guidebook and 36 illustrated cards without borders. They are the traditional Lenormand size (18cm x 23cm). Motifs are skeletons, skulls, scythes, the hour-glass, scales, tombs and graves, all to do with death and dying, plus flowers, bright colours, beautiful gowns, and that delights and creates fun by dancing and laughing. 

 

The titles are in International Spanish with an English translation - which adds to the authenticity. You will be given information on the history of Lenormand, and how to use Lenormand - which is the best I have read in a long while! I love the joyful box, the card artwork, and the excellent guidebook! Two cards are titled ‘woman’, and two are titled ‘man’! 

Spreads and layouts are, a one or two card reading, a three to five card reading, and a Grand Tableau. We are also provided with a glossary to explain words used, the importance of colour in this deck, and information on symbols, suits and clusters, such as the Danger, Love and Career clusters, and the Circle of Trust. 

NB We don’t give advice on legal, medical or financial issues! 

Enjoy! 

Great art and super info! Recommended: Wendy Stokes https://wendystokes.co.uk
