Cards Oracle AGM Primal Lenormand

Reprint of the original cards from 1799. By kind permission of the British Museum, London, edited by Alexander Glueck.

THE GAME OF HOPE – a title fit for a great novel! The game was conceived by Johann Kaspar Hechtel and published in Nuremberg in 1799. It was a parlor game, a game with everyday situations with all their significance and twists. This is where we meet all the characters seen later in the Lenormand cards: the rider, the snake, the ship, the house, the bears, the ring, the coffin, the cross, etc.

The booklet includes the historic game rules and instructions how to read this oracle today.
