The Fin de Siecle Kipper is a set of German divination cards illustrated in Victorian style by veteran tarot artist, Ciro Marchetti. A Kipper deck is similar to Lenormand, but focuses more on people than events in its cards. This set has 39 cards: the 36 standard for a Kipper deck, plus three new additions.
It's also a positive card. The message of this card is that news is coming into our lives. It indicates future meetings, dates, invitations to parties, etc. It is a time to be surrounded by family and friends. It is also a message for the consultant to listen to the opinions of others and to listen to the possible advice they may give. On the other hand, the Encuentro invites you to go out to the streets, have fun and meet new people.
At work level it indicates upcoming important meetings with people who can make a turn in the professional career of the consultant, business lunches and dinners and the possibility of teamwork.
Kipper decks, like their French counterpart the Lenormand deck, generally has 36 cards. However the Kipper deck, unlike the Lenormand deck, is primarily focused on people rather than objects and events. Each card has a number which simply lists it order in the deck, and a title which hints at the meaning of the illustration. Again, the Kipper deck differs from the Lenormand deck in that it doesn't have a lot of extraneous symbolism and correspondences printed alongside the central illustration.
However the Kipper cards are generally read in pairs, and otherwise adhere to most Lenormand conventions and layouts. Heavy emphasis is placed on the direction the characters in the cards are facing, or where the action is directed. Articles of mis en scene are important to a reading, and the placement of cards in relation to a significator is very important.
