I really appreciate your recommendations about using the Marseille Tarot to get out from under the built-in stories of the Ryder Waite Smith. I happen to be working with a client who is learning to read playing cards, so there's definitely some overlap in interpreting the pip cards.
Playing cards divination has such a rich history. There are many ways to read with them. It was actually the first type of reading I tried. My Swedish grandmother had a book with magic and traditional Swedish playing card meanings (Sibyllans Hemligheter). Those card meanings were nothing like traditional Tarot card meanings… but that’s not to say they can’t be! We get to choose what works best. Glad you are enjoying new perspectives, Robin, and thanks for sharing!
