Cartomancy is a form of divination using either regular playing cards or cards specifically designed for fortune telling. Modern tarot cards descend from these humble yet colorful playing cards. Most of the decks featured here are reproductions of cards that were originally produced in Europe during the 1800s to early 1900s.

Mlle. Lenormand No. 194115
Wiener Spielkartenfabrik Ferd. Piatnik & Söhne
Made in Austria
Mlle. Marie Lenormand (1772–1843) was a French professional fortune-teller of considerable fame during the Napoleonic era. After her death, her name was used on many cartomancy decks. The card imagery has remained somewhat consistent through the years, albeit with great artistic variation. This deck contains 36 numbered cards with a miniature standard playing card at the center top, the initials for Ferd. Piatnik & Söhne in the upper right corner and lush descriptive images (card #31 is my favorite). The instruction booklet is in German, English and French.
$15.00 + shipping (local pick-up available)
This deck is no longer being produced by Piatnik. You can still find them online, but expect to pay $25.00 - $35.00 a deck.

Anna Riva's Mystic Fortune Cards
Indio Products Inc
Made in ???
This 50 card deck was created by Dorothy Spencer, aka Anna Riva. She was a well-known American occult author and manufacturer of hoodoo spiritual supplies. The cards are white, with a peachy-red tiny floral print on the reverse. There is a symbol with two interpretations ('A' and 'B') on each card. Despite the cover card saying 'Instructions Included', none are actually included. I have a feeling they might be in her book "Art of Divination" (1995), which has been impossible to find.
