Every card in a Lenormand deck carries a small inset of an ordinary playing card in one corner, and the Ring carries the Ace of Clubs.
Why the deck has thirty-six cards
Taken together the insets across the deck make up a complete thirty-six card playing pack, running from the six to the ace in each of the four suits. That is not a correspondence scheme laid over the pictures afterwards. The deck was published in Nuremberg in 1799 as a race game called Das Spiel der Hoffnung, the Game of Hope, generally attributed to Johann Kaspar Hechtel, and the insets meant the same printed sheet could be cut up and used for ordinary card games as well. The pictures were the board and the playing cards were the pack.
What the suit adds
The Ace of Clubs belongs to the suit this atlas records under action, ambition and growth. It is an ace. In playing card cartomancy the aces are commonly read as the strongest or most concentrated expression of their suit, which gives this inset unusual weight for a reader who uses the layer at all.
Two systems in one deck
A reader who uses the insets is running an older cartomantic system, the reading of an ordinary playing pack, alongside the pictures. The two layers can disagree about a card, and nothing in the deck settles which should win. Many readers ignore the insets entirely and treat them as a leftover of the deck's origin as a game. Both approaches are current, and this atlas records the inset as part of the object rather than as an instruction.
