full deck
I started a few months ago working with the Minchiate Fiorentine (Solleone) and am really feeling this deck well, for example, I just did a one card reading for myself and saw the card seated opposite me, *before* I pulled it.
I've printed out the deck, in color and keep this by my desk so that I might become more familiar with the different style of imagery therein. I have taken the zodiac cards out and reserve their use for time specific purposes and then separately from the main deck. Regarding the four virtues, I consider "Faith" as the "Heriophant" and the other three virtues as what they represent (literally). I refer to the four element cards as by their corresponding suits in Tarot -- wands/fire, water/cups, Earth/penticles, Air/swords and consider them as referring to the general tendency of each suit within the context of the spread and question. Obviously "The World" and "fame/judgment" is pretty much Tarot.
Other than that, I stick closer to Tarot in usage though I do not adhere to any strict use of numerology in the majors.
Is anyone else working with this style Tarot deck other than Diana and if so, how is it working for you?
