Going back over some older entries and realizing I hadn't answered this--have you had a chance to get the book and/or get started? DId I ever answer this question on a different entry?
In case I didn't: there are four suits, and one card that stands alone:
The Committee suit: cards that honor aspects within yourself, as if they are all sitting at a committee table. For me, they include the mother, the creative one, the karate student, and this one, the Girl Who Reaches Out in Wonder
The Community suit: cards the honor people who have affected you, whether living or dead (or even imaginary). Your parents, other family members, favorite authors, teachers, mentors, etc.
The Companion suit: animals that correspond to each of your seven energy chakras..
The Council suit: Archetypes. The Fool, the Sage, the Lovers, Death. Some of these correspond to the tarot deck, but you may create others. The Ravens of Unresting Thought is one of my Council cards, as is the Mirror Erised.
You can create your own suits if you like; I may be creating one for fairy tales.
The card that stands by itself is the Source card, the One from which everything springs. You may recognize it as God, or the Universe--however you understand it.
