I started off with the Crowley tarot years ago, and changed my course drastically by dedicating myself to the Tarot de Marseille exclusively. Now, the convenient thing with the Crowley tarot is that the central meaning of every pipcard is shown at the bottom of the card. I got desillusioned with the Golden Dawn system, and considered how to deal with the pipcards of the TdM. After the example of the Crowley tarot, I decided to try to find one central word for every card, but now on basis of number symbolism. (By the way, it is unfortunate that there are no decks with an empty space on the cards to fill in your own meaning.)
It has taken me ages, and I changed it a zillion times, but finally I am satisfied with my system of one word designations to the pips. However, though a card can have usually one or two other meanings and this simplification gives a solid backbone to a spread, I am still afraid that I am limiting the potential of possible meanings for the cards. And could it be that many of my designations are off the mark, or will a divination "tune in"with those designations of mine?
