I would really like to do this but thought I would bounce this out there for other people to chime in with their thoughts and feelings about this.
What I want to do is literally pick apart a choose card. IE: If it is the Tower card, everyone will pull out the Tower card from whatever deck that they want to use. It doesn't matter if you want to pull out a couple of different Tower cards.
Then we each post a reply on the thread: ToD Tower (simply because it is one of my favorites) and Thoughts. Giving a very detailed description of the card, we include our thoughts on what certain symbols mean in general and to us personally.
Hopefully opening a dialog along the way that enables us to view a certain card in a different context. So if I come start this with the Tower; it would look like this:
You can add a image if you like but make sure that you still do the detail description because this is what is going to force you into seeing outside the box, and inside the card. Also remember that not everything in a card is meant to symbolize something, it maybe just the artist/creator feeling the need to through in a little something extra. But someone else can jump in here and add their thoughts because they may see the color black as something completely different.
So tell me what you think, if there is enough people interested we can start up a steady group that we choose one card to study the symbols in for say a two to three week period. Each card getting it's own thread that way we do, and a link to the original thread (this one or one of its own) to cut back on confusion. Again though this all depends upon what everyone else thinks about it.

Tabi's ToD Tower Card and Thoughts:
A mulity leveled Gold Tower stands in the center of the card. There is baloncies, peaks, doors, windows, and towers spiking up everywhere as the Tower raises from a wide base into a single tower. There is a ray of golden light shining from the left side about the middle of the card, and a bolt of white lightening right about it. From the ray of light up the tower is on fire. In the foreground there is some trees. In the background the sky is cloudy in a shade of red-ish tones, the upper portion of the sky is pure black.
- Choice of Colors: Gold in the Tower~richness, luxury, going too far.
Gold in the Ray of Light~purity, calming, spiritual.
Red in the Sky~angery, lust, confusion
Black in the Sky~unknown, unsure, fear, flying blindly - So many Layers: Doors~being opens to go through, to leave behind things or to open them to see what lays ahead.
Windows~to look at, to dream about
Levels of the Tower~layer upon layer of what life hands us, each representing an area of life: work, family, school, friends. - and etc.
