Russian "Gypsy" Fortune Telling Cards v. Lenormand

A comparison between Touchkoff's "Gypsy" Fortune Telling Cards & Lenormand Cards

As you’ll no doubt have seen, I use Svetlana Touchkoff’s “Russian Gypsy Fortune Telling” deck here on the Daily Oracle quite a bit. So you’re probably quite familiar by now with the “look” of the spread, an example of which is above.

The book itself (and cards, and explanations) are as below, and can be purchased from Amazon by clicking on the image.

You may also have picked up the similarities between many of the images and meanings in this deck and the Lenormand cards. So I wanted to go into a bit more detail about that.

Take a look here for some of my previous readings with this deck.
