Sentient
Even in WS-derived decks, images can differ markedly from those that Pamela Colman Smith drew.
So I have a question. In working with these decks, do you generally try to use the same overarching theme in your meanings (modified somewhat to take account of the specifics of the image), or do you come up with completely separate meanings that may have nothing to do with those you use for the WS?
For myself, I have tended to use the overarching theme method; coming up with completely different meanings only for those decks that for me represent different traditions (the Thoth, the TdM, oracle decks, etc.)
How does everyone else deal with this?
