There is a new Lenormand deck in town, and it is lit (pun intended).

From Lady Lenormand comes Electric Lenormand. This is a groovy, hippie, good-vibes Lenormand deck that you can’t help but love.

Lady Lenormand is a new independent Lenormand deck publisher. Her decks come in a cute waterproof tin. At $38.00 these decks are a bit more expensive than many Lenormand decks. For the quality, and the ability to support an independent artist and publisher, the price seems more than fair.

The theme of the deck speaks to me deeply. In High School I did a paper on Tom Wolfe’s
The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Tests. Then, I did not realize that the band who provided the soundtrack for the acid tests would, in the 1980s, become my favorite band. The Grateful Dead provided me with the community and experiences that opened the door to my career as a tarot professional.

Those who have read The Doors of Perception by Aldous Huxley, from which Jim Morrison took the name of his band, know that many doors got opened back then. For me, the term ‘electric’ used in this context means only one thing.

I remember going to the refrigerator for a beverage and finding a note from my roommate on a big bottle of apple juice. The note was a warning. It read “ELECTRIC” in colorful magic marker letters. Clearly not something you would want to take a swig of before work.

Electric Lenormand is not the only modern divination tool themed around the psychedelic drug experience. There was a time when I was uncomfortable with decks like Trippin’ Waite. I would have been uncomfortable with Electric Lenormand, as well.

As much as I had nothing but uplifting experiences in my youthful exploration of psychedelia, many of my friends were not so lucky. While there is certainly opportunity for enlightenment, there is also significant danger. A part of me felt a bit of concern around the idea of promoting the positives of drug culture without also pointing out the obvious risks.

Yet, the vibe of Electric Lenormand is so happy, so friendly, and so darn cute, it is impossible for me not to embrace it with glee, just as I gleefully embraced the lifestyle from which it gets its theme.

From a divinatory standpoint, I love the bright colors in this deck. I believe that the colors will stimulate the third eye in order to easily engage the intuition.

As a tarotist, I love the simplicity of the designs. Lenormand is such a different system from tarot and uses different divinatory muscles. Complex Lenormand designs will lead me down a rabbit hole of trying to interpret symbolism. The clear, concise designs of Electric Lenormand make it easy to remember to work within the structure of the Lenormand system.

My favorite aspect of Electric Lenormand is that these cards are really cute and clever. The Rider is a VW bus and a surfboard. I actually traveled the country in a VW bus, along with thousands of other Deadheads. The House is a mushroom house, perfect for an elf. The Clover, of course, is a cannabis leaf. The Tree is perhaps my favorite card as it features the bird from the Woodstock poster on a branch.

The Man and the Lady are both hippies, and there are two of each. This allows for easier exploration of same-sex relationships, polyamory, and relationship complications.

To this day, I am not a proficient reader of Lenormand. Electric Lenormand may change that for me.
