Worried about Tarot Cards

Apart from hebrew crap here and there, the symbolism in the cards is matched by rarely any other deck. Most of the other decks focus on pretty art, but they pay little attention to the symbolism behind the art.

Someone should do Rider Waite but without enemy crap.
 
You can also just blot out any enemy stuff with a permanent black marker, also visualising it dissolved in your head. Then perform a banishment of negative energies, and clean the energies of the deck.

I would recommend replacing the enemy stuff with Runes, based on the number of Major Arcana or the number of the 4 suits. A good example of this is the Wheel of Fortune, which is #10, so Runes like Fehu, Uruz, Raidho and Nauthiz (10 is divisible by 1, 2, 5 and itself, hence those specific Runes) could replace the Hebrew letters. And fittingly, these are 4 Runes, which you can add 4 other Runes or even the 8 pointed star of Astarte, and place those 4 Runes and the 4 elements alongside those Runes.
 
Here's an old thread pertaining to this if you'd like further information. I found it extremely helpful.

Interesting information. I don't know much about the tarots, so I am not confident in suggesting replacements. In general, I have never been able to connect much with tarots. I had a Rider-Waite deck in 2013. I had it for 6 months, then I relocated. When I moved houses, I decided it was not worth to keep as other divination methods are more suited to me. So, I got read of the cards, except the Mage card which is my favourite. I do so much better with runes and astrology. I also have a minor interest in palmistry.

Anyway, wouldn't the replacement you talk about entail reprinting the cards? I gave my suggestion because it is a quick method to get rid of negativity.

I was thinking of drawing my own versions and printing them and replacing the Hebrew stuff and letters with Runes and themes based on the card.

Though, on the topic of Tarot, I had this wild dream where parents played Tarot with their children similar to poker where based on the card the dealer placed on the table, and the cards on their hand, they could create combinations to teach children how to solve problems and how to identify issues, in a way teaching them early on how to be a problem solver and deal with real world situations through card games and looking for solutions and how.

This dream is very interesting too, and I think it could have been a real-world practice, much like chess can be used too but chess only after a certain point in the child's growth.
