Thank you very much rif! What a thoughtful post.
Last night I was just dumping threads to look at later, so I don't even remember seeing that someone recommended Kapherus, or which post that was. But I'll be on the lookout for it.
I agree with you that just transferring the minors to the PC's is cheating, I mean in a pinch I suppose you could use a meaning or two, if nothing else seemed to be making sense or in the case of a brain fog and not remembering the PC meaning. If the PC's didn't have such a rich history of their own this might not feel so weird. But why go to the trouble of learning a new system if you are just transferring in another system?
I also agree with what you are saying about learning someone else's playing card system. I somehow thought that there were one or two sort of historical approaches that were fairly well known.
The other thing I have wondered is if the Lenormand system everyone was using by Sylvie Steinbach expands to a 52 card system usable for the playing cards. I don't have the book, but have thought about getting it. It seems that Pheonix Rising and Aristede use that system almost exclusively, from what I can see.
