One thing to watch out for is getting too wrapped up in elemental associations, as it can narrow your intuition.
I like to add extras like this with intention when I feel like that specific reading calls for it. It’s the same as using the numbers in Tarot readings, you don’t need to add extra information into each card unless you have a reason to.
Seeing Swords only as a symbol of conflict might cause you to miss their role in representing intellectual clarity. Try to keep an open mind when interpreting the cards. It’s tempting to stick to traditional meanings, but exploring different perspectives can offer new insights and deepen your connection to the deck.
