You might consider having people discuss life-experiences that (for
them) characterize a particular card, or particular cards that (for
them) characterize major aspects of their lives.

This is good stuff because:

	(a) it is personal and opens people to one another, helping
	    to create a group

	(b) it is a way to steer around the pit of dry intellectual
	    discussions of textbook symbolism.

	(c) people are likely to find value in the sharing and
	    exploration.

	(e) it is a sure thing that people will gain some new
	    perspectives and insights

	(e) it makes the group (rather than you :-) do the work
