hey, tarotologists out there, something I'm wondering about -

so if I understand this right, the reading of a card depends on an interpretation of its image?

wouldn't that mean the same spread of cards might read very differently depending on which deck I use? as someone coming from Lenormand, this is mildly troubling

@typhlosion many people will say yes. I will say no. The pictures are meant to evoke the feeling that already exists in the way the suit interacts with the number. Original decks had no pictures for the minor arcana. Here's a quick and dirty guide. awoo.space/media/xxxhqOlc_Fmu2 awoo.space/media/KciIsEOdsZHX2

@typhlosion to learn quick, nab a Thoth deck. Each minor actually has a one word description at the bottom of the card so you can simply memorize majors and king Queen knight page and be on your way.
