So, after considerable reading and some playing around, I've started incorporating Elemental Dignities into my readings -- taking the place of reversals. Now, all my cards are "right side up", but their meanings are shaded by their position and relationship to one another.
Is anyone else working with this system? What do you think of it?
What are Elemental Dignities?
Here is a good discussion of the matter:

(And there is a good deal more on this website on the topic -- just poke around a bit.)
What I like about this system is that it makes the cards more complex. There are shades of meaning and intensity rather than just up or down. And it forces me to see more relationship between the cards -- which leads to a richer readings.
I'm a big advocate of the "Well, if it works for you..." approach. But I would appreciate tips, tricks, and insights from the Wisdom of the Teaming Masses on Aeclectic.
