If anyone else uses his new Kipper as an adjunct in Lenormand readings, I'd be interested in hearing how it goes.
In Ciro's companion pdf that comes with the deck, one of the readers does exactly this in the sample readings section.

The companion pdf is quite thorough and includes card meanings and spreads written by three Kipper readers. A valuable resource, since there is virtually nothing yet written in English on the Kipperkarten.
how well do you think the new deck will blend with the Gilded Reverie, which is my primary Lenormand deck (and which has a few adaptations of its own)? The original Kipper seems to be highly compatible with the traditional Lenormand decks, but it would be nice to have harmonious modern versions from the same creator.

I was invited by the mods to move along, Nevertheless as you asked a valid and relevant question i will respond. This deck comes with a comprehensive pdf document that explains my rational for every modification and addition I made. Its worth noting that each image was shown to the publisher of the original Kipper deck, just for the hell of it, and specifically the one that was dismissed earlier in this thread as being wrong. Had they responded by saying that something was truly off base, I would have considered attempting a different visual approach. As it happens the publisher seemed quite enthusiastic, and considered the "incorrect" card to be an improvement on the original in portraying the intended meaning. In fact they will now be publishing this deck next year.... As to your specific question, that is also dealt with in the PDF where there is a sample reading with diagrams demonstrating the use of both this and my lenormand together and in conjunction with the the corresponding "house positions". If you would like more information i would be willing to provide those diagrams, but not on Aclectic, contact me by e-mail.
I love the Kipper system, Ciro's new take on the it, the art, the PDF, the bag, all of it.
Thanks so much for your plaudits on the companion document! I really tried to bring the Kippergeist out as I had experienced it, esp. in Switzerland. Ciro I think believes you should also keep the app on your smartphone, so if you have questions about card meanings you can just have the card tell you itself. But I do love both the Mystical decks, personally, and am fortunate enough to be acquainted with Urban Trosch, the artist. We actually lived only about 10 mins. from each other in Switzerland.
Enjoy!
