Not being much of a reviewer, I decided to take the deck for spin around the block as it were and jump straight into a three card reading instead.
This is the reading method taught by Robert Place in the book Tarot - History, Symbolism and Divination. He speaks of the three card combinations as 'hieroglyphs for the soul', pointing out that with all the possible card combinations (more than 400,000!) there is no need for 'upside down readings.' This style of reading suits me since I stopped using reversals a while back.
This is the tarot hieroglyph I got when asking how I could become a better tarot healer (i.e. someone who uses the tarot cards for vibrational healing as well as readings).

The High Priestess, The Lovers and the King of Vessels (Cups) form a beautiful hieroglyph, urging me to express what the High Priestess receives in dialogue between the solar and lunar self (Lovers) in order to promote healing/union. It speaks of the veil being lifted and the still waters of the depths being offered through the vessel of the self (the Holy Grail).
I felt the cards should be read in a linear fashion in this case. In the book, Place outlines five more patterns for interpreting the cards, depending on which way the figures in the cards are facing etc. It is a fascinating system and it works well.
