MKITKHAVI: Fortune Teller Of The Caucasus

These sort of decks rarely do anything for me, but this one intrigues me!
They are ordinary playing cards - so any playing card deck could be used - but only the 6s to Aces (Aces high) are used, resulting in deck of 36 cards.

The cards included with the book, have a meaning written on the face for if falls on the right or left of a central card (a significator), plus a meaning if it stands alone or is inbetween two other cards.

There's even online instructions of how to use them, a step by step 'spread'.


........little things please little minds. I'm tickled pink with this simple deck.

Bee, have you bought this one? I rather like it. Looks very intriguing. Where did you find out about it?

Do you have them in your hands? Any observations regarding cardstock, size etc??

Oh! I have a friend who made little pics of the various pip patterns- including sets for the Face Cards. It's very fun to consider the "fraction/ratio" that way!

I bought this deck last year at an esoteric shop in Albuquerque, New Mexico. It was odd so I thought I'd add it to my growing collection. It's pretty much poker size. I haven't worked with it though. I didn't know there was some sort of website for it.

I ordered it today . Couldn't find any reviews or proper scans online, only the pics at the link I posted. As tarot heart says they're poker sized = so I'm even more pleased! Keeping fingers crossed that they're nicely shuffleable.

There are some at Amazon.com.

Pip patterns...... umm, Cardlady, do you have some pics of these? They also sound intriguing.

Like you, I'm a sucker for playing cards, cartomancy.

Let me see about a sample of each: Jack, Queen, King

Of course, the diamonds don't show an upright/reversed orientation.

If you'd like to have them, I can send you her email to get it.

Ah! I see what you mean! Now if I was going to approach the playing card deck with Geomancy or Numerology in mind, ideal!

I don't normally use reversed cards. I used to, but then discoved there's really no need because the accompanying cards can indicate the positive or negative mode of a card.

Does your friend 'read' with them?


Bee

She's got a real knack for making graphics to illustrate the concepts behind the Metasymbology, Science of the Cards, Destiny Cards styles of reading. I have no idea how wide her range of Reading skills are since I've never asked her for one.

Olney & camp Thanks for that link, good to know someone else is doing the Destiny-thing online (other than R Camp).


Well, when I get my mitts on this MKITKHAVI deck, I'll post re. the cardstock etc. I'm hoping the 'meanings' arn't going to be familiar ones!
