Daily card draws

[mu]

A year or so ago, I started doing daily card draws to get more comfortable with the tarot. Before getting ready in the morning, I shuffle my deck, draw a card, and look up its meaning. Throughout the day I try to focus on that particular card and look for its influence. For example, if I draw the 4 of Cups (which has been coming up for me a lot lately), I try to be a bit more social at work to counteract my tendency to withdraw. I keep track of what cards I draw and sometimes when I look back, I can see trends in the cards corresponding to what was happening in my life.

Do you read for yourself on a regular basis? What spreads do you use?

Icons

[mskala]

Here are some icons suitable for use with DW, expanding on the one I made for the community itself. They're made from scans of the 1909 "Pamela-A" deck, which is public domain; I've edited them just slightly in GIMP by removing the text along the bottoms, which doesn't add much when scaled down to icon size, and doing a contrast stretch to brighten the colours a little. Anybody else have tarot-related icons to share?
