About this product: La Santa Muerte Lenormand by Dan Pelletier and Callie L. French Welcome to La Santa Muerte Lenormand, a stunning deck and guidebook inspired by "Our Lady of the Holy Death," Santa Muerte. Lenormand is a form of divination using cards that has seen an explosion of interest over the past few years. The spirit of La Santa Muerte reveals hidden mysteries within and shows the path forward. La Santa Muerte, Our Lady of the Holy Death, is known for answering prayers that other saints often will not. The number of devotees of the Mexican Death Goddess has also grown, and the deck includes everything that’s needed to get you on the road to reading Lenormand, with a brief history and practical use of the system. Cards contain the titles in Spanish and equivalent playing-card insets for additional interpretation. Two spreads and an explanation of the colors of the candles used to request favors of La Santa Muerte round out the book. Although a death goddess, La Santa Muerte directs us to celebrate life and is associated with healing, protections, financial well-being, and assurance of a path to the afterlife. She is often invoked by those endangered by working at night and those living on the margins of society, answering prayers that other saints often will not. The Ofrenda Oracle includes a 38-card deck and a 104-page guidebook. Playing card icons appear, as in traditional Lenormand decks, in the corner. This deck uses illustrations, colors, and stories to create a sacred space that is perfect for this reunion, preserving traditional elements of the religious and cultural syncretism that is lived and breathed in Mexico.
