Charts and making up card meanings
After all, the book is only a guideline of how you might interpret the cards, I think it's up to us all to add our own flavour. And there's nothing wrong with that, as long as you remain consistent each time those cards appear.

I made up a nice, colourful chart using Excel Software. It has pictures of the cards across the top, and down the side. In the intersecting cell, I have a brief description of the card combination meaning. The chart is quite large. I think it consists of 18 x A4 pages. I've pasted them back to back (so each side is 3 x 3) and then had the whole chart laminated. I only had room in each cell to put some keywords but I find it's enough. It's like a ready-reckoner, much quicker than looking up the book definition and really helped me to learn the combinations. I did think, at one stage, that I should approach Titania to see if she wanted to offer it as a fold-out accompanient with her deck. But never followed that through.FaeryGodmother said:I tried to make a chart once with the combined meaning but the project just got too overwhelming for me, so I'm very impressed by you putting all your combinations here.
We all have to program our own decks to mean what we want them to mean. Like for example, there is confusion with Titania's interpretations with a card combination. I think it's the coffin and the cross. Under the coffin, she explains the combination as one meaning, and then, under the cross, she has explained the combination as a different meaning. So, I made up my own mind as to what that combination would mean each time I drew it and I've stuck with it.Kara said:As to making up meanings, do you think that is a bad thing? For clients obviously, but for friends or yourself, I don't think it's bad if you play around, maybe something will pop up?
