A good question is where to buy the Lenormand cards in the US. They are not always easily found, and at reasonable prices. I recommend the following stores, all of which I have purchased from and had satisfactory experiences with.

amazon.com: No surprise here. This is where I bought my LS French Cartomancy deck from. It’s known as the Dondorf style, which is a classic deck. Very charming, although a little larger than traditional Lenormand size (which is closer to playing card sized, for those of you used to tarot decks). This deck is only sold as a kit confusingly named “MINI,” which includes a book. I don’t know anyone who has used the included book; it’s nothing like traditional Lenormand techniques or card meanings. **At the time of this writing, the deck appears sold out and the prices have skyrocketed. I wouldn’t advise paying the ripoff prices, currently at $60USD. Watch for it to come back in stock.

TaroBear’s Lair: A website founded to provide US shoppers with European decks used for *gasp* card games, like tarrochi. Includes a selection of tarot and oracle decks. (Those of you looking for the Thoth tarot can find it here.) A small number of Lenormand decks are available, including the Mystical, Petit Jeu and Grand Jeu. The Mystical in particular may appeal to modern sensibilities; the artwork is truly incredible in person.

House of Tarot: Currently carries the Piatnik Lenormand deck.
