Government and Bureaucrats

I did a really cool Leidingkarten reading I want to post soon, but I need to get my scanner working. So let’s look at today’s combo instead. For the record, today’s cards were pulled randomly.

Today’s three-card was:

Garden + Tower + Bear

I smell arrogant government bureaucrats. I tend to see this combo as relating to government and officials, and not in a happy way. It could also relate to a school if you’re a student, you might have a run-in with an impossible teacher, or possibly even a large corporation (Tower can relate to large institutions, Bear relates to people in those institutions who wield power), but given the Garden showing up, and that having to do with the public at large, it’s more likely to be a government or a school.

I got woken up by a fundraising phonecall from the Police Benevolent Society. I hope that’s the worst of it, but it may not be. At least the week-end is coming up and government offices will be closed, so I’m hoping they don’t decide to drop a bombshell today that I can stress over for the next couple of days.

If it had come out:

Bear + Garden + Tower

Then it would have been the government in general. They who hold the power (Bear) over the public and society (Garden) to dictate the rules and limitations, and even the borders (Tower).

  1. Hi Chanah,

    Can’t wait to see the Leidingkarten reading! I hope they are the same ones I purchased from Amazon.de a while back. Mine are called Leiding Wahrsagekarten and it also says Aus der Tradition der Zigeuner Karten on the front card. They have lovely modern type of artwork. I haven’t a clue how to use them! It will be super to see how what your reading is like and how to use them!

  2. Are they the pastel cards, with just a soothing feeling to them? If so, I think they are. Hildegaard Leiding is the lady who illustrated both the Astrological Lenormand (which I love), and the Leidingkarten. I find Leidingkarten to be more approachable, or friendlier somehow than the old Kipperkarten, but now there’s a new set of Kipperkarten out there by the same folks who did the Mystical Lenormand! Kipper lends itself to scenes better than Lenormand does, and it’s a beautiful deck - I’ve only seen it online, though.

    And I’m broke - not to mention drooling over the gorgeous cards you have :) I need that updated Belline Oracle!

    If you click on the Esoterik Shopping link, it will take you to Lenormand/Kipper/Gypsy card heaven. There’s a little flag somewhere towards the top of the page if you need it translated to English, but they’ve got links to the full decks of lots of the cards over there - beautiful stuff.

  3. Yes, that is the deck I have, too! Oh, I can’t wait to see you work with them!!

    I bought them because I thought they were so lovely and hadn’t a clue on how to use them.

    Getting decks of cards is one of my hobbies. I don’t get shoes or clothes very much - mostly cards and yarn. They are my big passions along with camera stuff. I might only buy one pair a shoes in a year so that leaves more money for cards!

  4. I did a very simple spread with them, using positional meanings - but as a rule, you read them in combinations, sort of like Lenormand, but the Leiding have more set meanings, as you’ve seen.

    So if you got the Lots of Money card and the Loss card together - well, self-explanatory. That kind of thing. There are a lot of combinations, though, and I’m not as proficient with Leidiing/Sibilla/Gypsy as I am with Lenormand, but the idea is the same - to read with combinations, and you can use pretty much the same layouts as you’d use with a Lenormand.

    Sometimes the combos are easier to figure out than Lenormand combos, because they do have scenes, though the cards for things like the Hospital (Prison in the original Kipper) can mean isolation - not necessarily that you’ll end up in hospital or gaol. But still - they don’t seem as ’stretchy’ to me as Lenormand can be. For day-to-day stuff, though, they do seem to be pretty accurate - though I think for a daily draw I’d pull only one or two Leiding or Kipper - three seems like overload in that deck for some reason.
