I would like to reanimate one more old deck like Green Wood Tarot. It is very worm, non aggressive deck and its meanings have very deep psychological base help us to understand problems of our inner life and in our relationships with people, relatives and even with animals.
This deck is more suitable for psychological spreads that for Situational reading. I know psychologists who never clashed the tarot before start their tarot experience just with this deck, they even play it with children asking them to describe pictures.
Meanings of this deck expressed in pictures sometimes are quite different from the same of others decks, authors used some rare meanings we can find in different books mentioned in couple of words or sentences only.
If you have an interest in discussion about this deck and separate cards you can follow this thread.

In the picture two fiery red rabbit fighting on a narrow beam, and from them sparks fly as from fire. In Shamanism rabbits symbolize "sacrificial fire" - purification. Life, which passes through death.
In the sacrificial fire we burn all of perishable and unnecessary material in order to spiritually reborn.
However, we are not always so wise, the problem of these two polar concepts (spirit and matter) ever gets in front of us in this life are weighed in the balance. They are in a continual struggle within us, outweighing that in one or the other side, throwing us into the extreme.
We sometimes do not know what is more important for us in life, what to choose, so feel some discomfort in our heart, when these 2 concepts are beginning feverish clash. At the same time we find it hard to relax and make dynamic of these 2 feelings. Only a harmonious balance of mind and body will allow us to find peace and harmony in the soul!
Good and evil, material and spiritual have the only source (water = our feelings which are good and bad), and equal opportunity, equal weight categories within us (2 of the same rabbit at a crossbar), the line between them is very thin and shaky (beam on stones), but at the same time they, in fact, are our vital spark (a spark from rabbits), if these forces balanced, they set in motion all around us (the circles on the water). It is the struggle of the spiritual and material principles, heaven and earth display this card.
It the meeting of man and woman who clashed the same path and try show their ambitions before each other. The card calls to temper their appetites and whims, to lower the bar of their needs, try to negotiate, to find something in common, in order to enter into the framework of the family, in order to create a normal family.
IN PRACTICAL READING
In Green Wood tarot meanings of pentacles try to keep us out of material world and turn to more important things in our life more spiritual and cordial is far from pettiness and vanity.
Meetings of both, they need to agree each other, it is love play between man and woman and story of their assertiveness in eyes of each other. They try to understand the role of each other in relationships before they marry or make a couple.
It is challenge the woman can throw to the man, or man to the woman.
It is card of family conflict, when couple has confrontation because of lack of money, they try to show their position to each other.
The main thing is try to adjust this conflict peacefully do not let it to overcome frames of the diplomatic level, and respection to each other, when small dispute can grow to the sharp battle with broken plates and can be led to divorce or separation.
