Okay, my -personal- take on this. Stick mostly with the Hermetic, regardless
of the symbolisms that could be drawn.

Major Arcana divisions might be required for performing specific Rituals,
while any of the arcana would be inclusive to all magical activities, right
down to Talismongering and Spell Design or Assensing. Sort of a "Catch All
Forces Geas" if you will.

Perhaps Specific Cards could be used for Specific spells, like the "Required
Fetish" Geas some people use for their spells.

Specific combinations of cards would be required in massively intricate arrays
for conjuring, with Free Spirits requiring -VERY- specific card arrays.

Overall, the Tarot is best for consider Health and Detection Magic (SR style)
IMO. Beyond that, it would be a pretty complex collection of rules to make
things completely flush out.

Have Fun doing so... :)
