I don't usually use significators. I don't want to fall into the trap of simplifying the querent or any other person, and we're all more than one court card. So I started reading without significator and it has worked fine for me in all those years.
I do take note of court cards that appear in the reading as potential significators. It would be a pity, I feel, to take them out beforehand and thus rob them of the chance to appear on their own.
Now I've been thinking lately that I'd like to experiment with significators from a different deck. Significators in a wider sense then just a set of court cards from a different deck, although that's also something I'll try, and if you have an idea which decks are especially good for use as significators, tell me. I'll make my first try with the Touchstone; it has such expressive, strong court cards.
But do any of you use oracle cards with strong archetypical pictures without a person as significators? for example, images of the sea, the universe, a flower or a child's foot? Is there a deck that calls out to be used that way? I'd love to try what the focus on a non-personal significator does to a reading.
I'm curious whether any of you have experimented with the use of significators, and what you can tell me about it (and I hope there are NOT already 20 threads like that in existence! I didn't find one when I looked)
