Cartomancy as Ancestral Citation
I've seen cardless reading, oracle card reading, playing card reading, palm reading, and on and on positioned as Thee Way. It should come as no surprise that I disagree.
There are advantages to reading with and without additional technology, of course.
Yet the #1 reason I work with playing cards, lenormand, or tarot or any other knowledge and wisdom seeking technology (KWST) is for citation.
There's humility in citation. There's wisdom in citation. There's tradition in citation.

Through free thought, by which I mean attention to detail, inquiry, and understanding, we can see that the work of tarot’s Swords isn’t good or bad.
Through free thought, we can see the role systems play in our limited ability to see the truth and accept reality. Our unwillingness or inability to think and scheme freely limits our capacity for action.
It all but ensures that we will act without thinking, and reap the consequences about which the Swords warn.
