2 suits = 1 animal method

Since I have a system (this was supposed to become a 2 card system with 2.704 images) in which every value combination of 2 cards is translated as a person (by means of reading the values as letters; 169 persons), I imagined It would be promising to combine this with a system that would allow me translate every suit combination of 2 cards in an animal using symbolic/picture reading. The basic idea is a bit like watching a foreign language movie and also reading subtitles; 2 mental tasks that are highly compatible.

Summary of the method:

  • :clubs: = an animal paw/hand;
  • :spades: = sharp (and therefore) dangerous object;
  • :diamonds: = an animal footprint;
  • :heart: = loved/ desired object.
  • XY/YX suit combinations are represented as 2 animals that are very simular, with the stronger animal on the right (my right hand is more powerful than my left so this makes intuitive sense to me; hopefully the left/right distinction will become more clear further down this post).

XX-suit combinations:
:clubs::clubs: = (paws of an) eagle;
:spades::spades: = a zebra (being attacked by 2 spears; the black and white color match is a bonus);
:diamonds::diamonds: = the footprints of a giraf (stamping both front legs into the ground);
:heart::heart: = a cameleon using his long tongue to lick 2 hearts at the same time.

Walking past danger combinations:
:diamonds::spades: = a horse walking past danger on the left side;
:spades::diamonds: = a deer walking past danger on the right side (I imagine a deer being more powerful than a horse, but keep in kind that this is about mnemonics and not biology).

Attacking danger combinations:
:clubs::spades: = a lion (on the left) attacking (with paw) danger;
:spades::clubs: = a tiger (on the right) attacking danger.

Walking towards desired object combinations:
:diamonds::heart: = a rhino walking from left to right to desired object;
:heart::diamonds: = an elephant walking from right to left to desired object.

Grabbing desired object combinations:
:clubs::heart: = a chimpansee (on the left) grabbing a desired object;
:heart::clubs: = a gorilla (on the right) grabbing a desired object.

Being seduced by desired object towards danger combinations:
:heart::spades: = a humming bird (on the left) being seduced (imagine a honey flower) towards danger;
:spades::heart: = a swan (on he right) being seduced towards danger.

Standing on 1 front paw and raising the other one combinations:
:clubs::diamonds: = a grizzly bear raising his left paw:
:diamonds::clubs: = a polar bear raising his right paw.
