<cackle> I used to have one of those curled around the house, with the letterbox square in its jaw. After a while, I stopped getting junk mail <smile>. The bugger wouldn't move house with me, and now the old place has been bulldozed, sadly.
As to the King's Moving Arm, Griz, here's my take on it, for what it's worth:-
I have been saying for years (even decades) that the traditional, LWB meanings are only background information: what is important about the cards in any spread is not just your own ongoing relationship with hte image, but what they say to you in the moment. If your King needed to make a sweeping gesture, then that's what you'll see. You may not have thought it changed the interpretation you gave the client very much - but it may have changed your facial expression, your body-language, your energy. Only about a third of hte information people pick up in a conversation has anything to do with the words. Perhaps you loosened up and smiled, or perhaps you leaned back in your chair, or whatever. I don't know - I wasn't there.
I'm now remembering when a friend of mine did a reading for me in 1992, using the Mythic Deck. We were sitting in my front lawn under the Big Tree (the house with the dragon, now I come to think of it!). I had no particular questions - the reading was a gift from my friend because he felt generous, not because I asked for it. The spread involved quite a lot of cards - a lot more than a conventional Celtic Cross. There were cards on the ground all around us. I was trying not to be a backseat reader.
Well, it was early in the reading and he said something - I can't remember what, now. I asked a question related to his comment, and he pulled the next card off the top of the remainder of the deck to answer it. It was the Chariot. He discussed it, then pushed it into the middle of the deck. We wandered through most of the rest of the spread - and there was the Chariot on broad daylight, looking up at us, already in the spread before he pulled it! But it was completely relevant both to the position where it was lying and the question I had asked earlier, so as neither of us had noticed it being in position before and had "fixed" it into reality there, the scientific concept of Heisenberg's Uncertainly Principle came into my own kind of twisted play, and the card bi-located. If either of us had noticed prior to my question that the Chariot was in the spread, it wouldn't have been able to be pulled.
I don't actually think this stuff is weird or strange at all. It's just the way the world works. I think it far odder, the way an internal combustion engine works (have you ever looked into those things? They're amazing and really, really strange!)
