From the Booklet
“Under the Roses" is a euphemism for buried secrets. The allusion comes from the Latin phrase Sub Rosa, which dates back to classical Roman times when the rose became the symbol of confidentiality and secrets. The expression became well known in German literature, eventually finding its way to English literature in the nineteen century.
The cards in the Petit Lenormand are used in combinations to extrapolate meanings and identify past, present, and future influences on your life. The Lenormand Deck is diverse; it can be used to address life’s deep issues or for mundane inquiries. It’s great for gatherings or parties, as well as individual readings.
The origins of the Lenormand Oracle stem from the reputation of Mlle. Lenormand, an infamous card reader who died in 1843. The Petit Lenormand was named after her and published not long after her death.
