Brings good news when close to the sig, with no bad cards near. Meeting – Getting together – can be romance, friendship or business, see nearby cards to see who or what it’s about. Behind it, this card can sometimes mean separation, if other cards support this.Ĥ. Marriage Card – Usually indicates relationships, bonds, or friendships – you need some backup cards to predict an actual marriage. I’d like to expand this as time goes on, I’m always looking for traditional stuff on these, so if you find anything good (or just have questions), feel free to comment.ģ. Kippers look more scenic, there may be several objects or characters on a card rather than Lenormand’s one symbol per card, but again, don’t try to read them using modern Tarot methods, or you’ll get mud. You can use the same spreads, (and, of course, any Kipper-friendly spreads that are included in the instruction book) and techniques like reflection, knighting, etc. Like Lenormand, the deck has 36 cards (Ciro added a few extra to his deck), and they’re numbered, although there are no playing card insets. The art is interesting, though, and once you’ve got some experience under your belt it’s fine to use it. The Mystisches Kipper, like the Mystical Lenormand (both are by Urban Trösch), is a bit deviant. The Leidingkarten are modernized, but true to the traditional meanings, and would still be OK for a beginner in my opinion. Marchetti does not veer from the traditional meanings – some of his cards illuminate ideas that were rather cryptic in the old decks. Ciro Marchetti’s Fin de Siècle is excellent – there are some changes, but they were carefully considered and Mr. The most traditional are the Original Kipperkarten (shown here, published by ASS) and the Salish Kipper. The choices are easy, since as of this writing there are only five major ones – and that is enough. So while you may find rules best with Lenormand (“The Scythe always cuts to the right” can simplify reading a Lenormand that shows two scythes crossed and pointing different directions, for example), Kippers should be read taking things into account like which card is on the other side of a door, or which card a figure is pointing to.Īs always, use a traditional deck for learning. A card can mean something completely different when it’s behind the significator’s back. Something else to bear in mind is that this deck, while it shares a lot of similarities with Lenormand, is extremely visual – not in the “intuitive” sense, but in the sense that it seems to be designed to be read with a heavy emphasis on facing directions. (I highly recommend the writings of Andy Boroveshengra, Rana George, and Caitlin Matthews.) Going straight to Kippers without first studying and practicing the Lenormand methods of proximity and combining cards tends to make neophytes attempt to read them with modern Tarot methods, and they don’t get the benefits of this wonderful system. ![]() ![]() If not, I’d recommend a few years of Lenormand study and practice first, if only because there’s a lot more english language resources out there for Lenormand than there are for Kipperkarten. If you’ve been reading Lenormand awhile, you’ll take to Kippers like a duck to water – and the information in this blog post is actually enough to get you started reading. ![]()
