All interesting subjects. If you want to start the introduction thing, go ahead. I just finished a posting about different decks, which is deliberately written to suggest some tangential things we could discuss.
On "other" applications: yes. There's the "put a card under your pillow and dream about it" thing. There's the "pathworking" thing, which merges with some of the Kabbalistic stuff people do. I don't know much about either of those except that they exist; maybe someone who actually does them could be prevailed upon to post about it.
I've used tarot imagery in some of my writing myself. At some point as days go by I'll probably post about that.
A question on my community promo posting reminded me that there's a lot of tarot imagery in anime, with a widely varying level of authentic depiction of how people use it outside anime. Several postings could no doubt come from that alone.
