I have playing cards and I'm fascinated by them - but also confused. There simply too many systems, and while I managed in my Lenormand studies to stick to the guns that I started out with, I got trapped into the search for the perfect system with PC.
I'm currently studying playing card divination, and I'm really struggling with this too. I've stopped several times because it's a bit too open for interpretation, and I'm not good at sorting things out like that. Most tarot meanings are more or less standard and if stuck, most decks at least have pictures.
As for getting a reading, I've never before gotten one from any kind of deck, but if I did, I'm like several others, and I'd get one from a system I know, as part of the reason I'd get one, was to see how they interpreted them, and I couldn't do that with playing cards. I also think it's true what someone said earlier in this thread about how people who get readings liking to get something more mysterious. Just my thoughts though.
