I did think actually that my fiddling with the Witchy tarot was an example of my virgoan nit-picky desire to bring everything into a kind of standard order, when maybe some things aren't meant to be part of anything like that. Maybe the Witchy Tarot is just meant to be read as it is, with no reference to any other deck at all - perhaps my forcing it to somehow "conform" to a standard set of meanings is to completely miss the point and spoil it?!
The deck works, and maybe that's all that matters ultimately, but like the Tarot of the Elves and what i've seen of other Lo Scarabeo decks such as the Tarot of the Sorcerers, some of the cards just don't and will never fit the "norm". Is swapping things around maybe a bit, well, anal of me? Should i maybe just be going with the flow of each deck, letting it speak to me in its own language, and not expect the standard meanings? Maybe i'd get more out of things that way. If i have spare cash in future i might buy another copy of the Witchy and try reading just as it is, without modification or expectation of a standard symbolic "code", and see where it takes me!
