Combining different decks and descriptions
under review

I recently realized that the Luminous Spirit deck has different descriptions than the other RWS decks. I have no idea what this idea would look like in app, but I would love to be able to use the Seventh Sphere RWS illustrations (they make it easier for me to intuit what a card is about) but with the Luminous Spirit descriptions (they tend to be longer and easier for me to make sense of and put into the right context). I suppose this might not make sense for other decks, since the Marseilles and Thoth ones don't use reversals, but within the RWS decks it might be nice to have the option!

Merged in a post:
Take RWS "lessons" off SSM card meanings?

I'm learning Marseilles and use SSM for my daily readings. When the card pops up, the big gold text gives the card's main gist, but it is reflecting the RWS meaning, not the Marseilles. eg, today I got 9Coins and the lesson is "I deserve comfort" but the Marseilles meaning is about processing grief at the end of a business venture or time of transition.
It's really difficult to reinforce learning the Marseilles meanings when the RWS are in the biggest font, on the first page.

Been mulling this over, and I want to do this as a part of a greater redesign of how data is structured in app. See comment from this thread:

Removing this alone for one deck would just be a band-aid fix making the data even less managable in the future. Will obviously take longer, but would help with my future sanity.

Tina G.: excellent,I hadn't seen that request, and obviously having an apt lesson would be preferable :D I just thought blocking this data out might be easier.
I saw that some Toth cards have the pertinent lesson, but after posting this I realized that it was just the unique Major Arcana like "Lust" etc.
I hope this feature rolls out soon, thanks for considering!

So I think this is part of a bigger update where I'd like to eventually have only 1 card description for each tradition of tarot: RWS, Marseille and Thoth.
That means that for each tradition, each cards would have their own:
- Description (that means Luminous Spirit would probably be the main RWS description, I think those areindeed better than the default for other decks).
- Name
- "This Card's Lesson"
I think this would also solve another person's problem of seeing RWS "lessons" while doing quizzees for a Marseille deck. Also a little more organized for my own sake.
I know it removes some customization, so I wanted to hear your thoughts?

Tina G.: +1 for me. I believe that this is a great idea in the long run.

I think this one is a going to be a bit interesting to implement. Lemme have a think about this!
