In the ongoing debate over the relative merits of illustrated vs. unillustrated pip cards, several of you have mentioned that illustrations are unnecessary because the meaning of the Seven of Swords, for instance, is essentially just a combination of the meaning of "sword" and the meaning of "seven."
For those of you who read the pips this way, I'm interested in hearing what the numbers themselves mean to you (i.e., what do all the Fives, regardless of suit, have in common). If you can explain what it is about each number that makes its associated meaning seem natural to you, that would be even more interesting.
I'm sure we all have a slightly different take on what the numbers mean, but I suspect that there will be a lot of consistency, too. Integers are, after all, pretty damn universal.
Thanks in advance.
