JUST got the USG Pixie's Astounding Lenormand...
What I like:
IMAGES...I do prefer some of the new images over the first edition, although that was great in it's own way.
I can EASILY tell what a card is supposed to be. Normally, I wouldn't like having another Lenormand image be much larger than the image it is supposed to be, in this case, the LETTER, but I can easily see the WOMAN is reading a LETTER, so not exactly a big reach for me.
CARDSTOCK!....I love the papery cardstock. I am so glad this has such a lovely matte feel. It feels sturdy, but no heavy lamination or chemical smell at all.
THE BACKS....JUST LOVE the backs! The coloring, the simplicity. Perfect.
TIN....well, and yeah...THE TIN. Love the tin, although it is a tad big. I would have preferred the tin smaller. The first thing I did was remove the book.
I know many want a booklet or lwb, but I really don't use them. And the cards seem to move around a lot in the tin, so I may wind up putting them in a case or at least wrapping them before putting them in the tin.
There is nothing I do not like about this deck and plan on using it a lot. I love PCS artwork, and while some is taken from her tarot deck, other images are just from various other artwork she did. I have no problem differentiating from her tarot and Lenormand decks, even though some of the art is the same. I read tarot and Lenormand much differently, so even if similar or the same art, no problem.
Love this deck.
