Hai @intuitiveart! What a well considered list. I have to agree with you on many of these points and have quite a few others of my own, having worked with Rider-Waite Smith, as well as other systems of carding.
So many problems with the TAROT if one plays too much into the dogmas of the design. They're on stakes, hence the colorful tears of the trees spilt in ink as such. What is more interesting to me is how few can read the Major arcana to see how to jump out and why they're mostly only good TO RAT out the lies...but you have to have the distilled energy of self to have self pressed out of Narnia in order to "hear" what the cards are proving of the design. People who can only "read the cards by the book" leave much to be desired of a rich psychic experience...but Eye Am a psyop, so I have a big opinion about it and how these forms are used against hypersentience.
