In the imagery of the Wayward Dark Lenormand are the archetypes and symbolism of a Lenormand deck, mirrored and modified into a chthonic underworld evoking the beautiful and the macabre. The deck has a limited palette of whites and blues on top of black backgrounds, giving every unique card a consistent look. Underworld themes introduced in the Wayward Dark Tarot continue throughout this deck which could be used as a companion deck alongside it, or it can stand on its own as a fully functional Lenormand deck.


The Wayward Dark Lenormand includes the standard 36 cards found in Lenormand. To provide additional representation, some of the cards have added humanoid figures in them so that a querent may optionally use them as extra signifiers. The standard signifier cards of "Man" and "Woman" are now both simply "Entity", and their depictions are a bit closer to macabre cryptids, in keeping with the theme and setting of the Wayward Dark.


The Wayward Dark Lenormand lives in its own setting and does its best to bring you along. The Wayward Dark setting originally came about for the Wayward Dark Tarot deck that launched in 2019. I have enjoyed returning to the setting and creating this companion deck that revisits its aesthetic. The Wayward Dark is my original theme, meant to evoke a familiar underworld that never was. Magic and death and beauty, a timeless place of spectral darkness and haunting afterlife. Within it, impossible creatures and mysterious humanoids. It is neither a heaven nor a hell but instead an underworld sanctuary. An unruly, exploratory place whose darkly mysterious inhabitants possess a sinister beauty.


If you aren't already familiar with the Wayward Dark Tarot, don't fret! You don't need to know its setting and history to be able to use the Wayward Dark Lenormand, as it is a fully realized deck all on its own!
