LENORMAND CARDS
Lenormand Cards are an alternative system of cartomancy, similar to Tarot but also different in purpose, feeling and structure. Unlike Tarot, Lenormand is a much more practical deck - focusing somewhat less on psychological feelings and instead on everyday happenings. You'll notice when reading with Lenormand decks, that these cards tend to focus on practical matters - Tarot focuses on the "why", while Lenormand tends to focus on the "how".
KIPPER CARDS
Kipper is a German fortune telling system dating back to the 19th Century. The deck traditionally has 36 cards, many are people in various roles and relationships. Major life events and common situations are also clearly designated in the cards, for example: Marriage, Work, Journey, Illness, etc.
Kipper card meanings are very straightforward and direct, so even for a beginner, the cards can be read right out of the box. The Kipper deck is quite visual; the images and titles indicate exactly what the card means, for example, Success or High Honors. Palmistry, also known as palm reading, chiromancy, or chirology, is the practice of fortune telling through the study of the palm. The practice is found all over the world.
