Kipper Cards 25-30: High Honour, Great Fortune, Unexpected Income, Expectation, Imprisonment, Judication

Kipper Card Meanings including notes, quirks and directional features, using the Wahrsagen Kipperkarten, Fin de Siecle & Salish decks.

Here are the main card meanings for all the above Kipper cards. In terms of the images, I want to illustrate some of the extra nuances you can get in terms of meaning by using the images and directions indicated on the cards, and also how different decks might compare on this.

So the decks I’m showing from left to right in these card meaning lists are a) the “Original” Wahrsagekarten, Lieder version b) the Ciro Marchetti Fin de Siecle, and c) the Salish Kipper decks. As we’ve said, the Salish, although a modern deck, usually follows the directions in the “Original original” 1890s printing of the deck, so that’s the one to use if you’re a purist.

You can see my comparison and overview of these three different Kipper decks here:

Unlike the Sibilla decks, Kipper cards do NOT have reversed meanings. I also note below where there are equivalent or similar cards from other oracle systems. Plus whether they are considered Master cards for Master card readings (more on that in a future post). I have marked those that are with an M.

25. High Honour/Coming To High Honour (M)

Meaning: To be given honours, success, prizes, and rewards for what you have done. This is a card of recognition, rewards, promotions, of being on the up, elevated above the ordinary, and achieving a high position or rank, being respected.

Illustration & directions: As you can see from the illustration, the Coming To High Honour contains a sense that you are now, in your castle, ‘‘set above” the ordinary and humdrum as per the plain houses below. Check surrounding cards for what the reward or honour is for, what it consists of and what it will bring.

Similar to: This is an achievement and recognition card, so it has similarities with especially the Success card in the Sibylle des Salons (where the person who succeeds is “crowned” with laurels). You can also see the links here (although not in their entirety) to some meanings of the Lenormand Tower as well as the Lenormand Moon.
