If you are in need of some good news, look no further. I have a momentous announcement to make: Neil Lovell's brother, Joe Lovell published the The Legend of the Wizard Laird Lenormand.
Not only that, he's offering them in two sizes! I haven't rushed my
butt cheeks over to a checkout cart so fast in months. This deck is
hauntingly beautiful, and I just know for sure it will be a rock star
when it comes to readings. The news of this deck being a posthumous
launch makes it a huge deal for us cartomancy lovers. If it had not been
for Joe, we would just not have had the pleasure. It brings me solace
to know he will keep the Malpertuis legacy alive, and that the Tyldwick Tarot is now being reprinted. 💀💣💥
Can you believe how lovely these cards are?
Neil really did splendid work. It has that same foggy, nostalgic feeling of the
Old Arabian Lenormand,
another deck I lose my mind over. Any time I hold the crunchy,
unyielding cards in my hand I get this protective instinct kicking in. I
handle the cards very gingerly, and only really use them to read for
myself. I try to preserve the experience because of how rare and scarce
these decks will become. I don't doubt a publisher would pick this
project up in a heartbeat, but if you ask me the
Malpertuis legacy belongs to the
Lovell family. I have witnessed many miracles throughout my lifetime; this is one I am very grateful for.
Lenormand lovers everywhere will have the chance to handle something I know is very special.
When I learned of
Neil's
passing, the news hit me like an anvil that had suddenly materialized.
We had minimal contact throughout his life, but he had mailed me a
certificate of authenticity for my
Tyldwick Tarot deck. I will
have to go find it in my vault to display online. In our correspondence I
remember gushing and gushing about the agonizing wait for the
Tyldwick Tarot
to be published, and the love I felt for the cards I was holding in my
hands. It was an over ten year wait to get acquainted with the cards,
but it was well worth the wait.
It is difficult when a role model
or somebody you admire passes away. I always mourn the idea that these
visionaries still have their best work inside them, because people who
make art battle so many circumstances to use the time they have to
create something. Time isn't exactly the most abundant resource, I
myself find myself battling against the clock to fit in all daily
necessities. I think about time a lot more now, and how important it is
to be mindful of how you spend your time. 🕙✨



You better believe I am taking out my
Malpertuis decks in celebration of this occasion. Without further ado, I'm off for
a hot date with some wine, cards and incense. You can find me at my
desk fawning over the beauty of art and divination weaving stories about
my future as it is about to unfold.
