I've seen different kinds of instructions on using a playing deck for readings. While I have a lovely Gilded, I'm also interested in this method---among other things because my fiddling around with playing cards would probably weird my housemates out less. I can only do Tarot when they're not around.
So, for those who do it, do you simply align each suit with a tarot suit--i.e. Hearts = Cups, Diamonds = Pentacles, Clubs = Wands, and Spades = Swords? The first two seem to fit well, but the second two don't so much. I mean there's the whole connotation of the Spades which doesn't have a parallel in the Tarot deck suits.
Suggested reading--preferably online since my library certainly won't have it and my finances are limited--or your own methods?
