When/if the interpretations provided in the LWB don't make sense or resonate, I read the pictures and let that help with any interpretation of the cards. Seeing if there's a Study Group and seeing what others have to say about the cards also helps.
The book was well done. And it was a BOOK. Sorry, I see you meant one of the OTHER vampire decks! But there is information in Place's book I would think would apply to vampire decks in general.
I thought it brought up some interesting similarities and also about the time frame from when Stoker was writing and the connection with some in the Golden Dawn.
