Here was my 7 day pull, Woods edition. I would love to hear back from those who can give me a better feel for the cards. Without help from others or AI, I wouldn’t stand a chance.Gemini great for helping and a tool, but loved to hear from actually really person, I guess, lol. Where do I need to focus my energy these next 7 days 
and what is in the cards for me?

Hi @markzen304,
Beautiful cards, and what a great spot for a reading! 
I hope you don’t mind that I upgraded this request to a space all its own. Oftentimes requests and questions get buried in the comments of other discussions, so hopefully this way the coven will know to stop by and share their thoughts. You’ve got some interesting cards appearing there! 
To make sure I’m reading it correctly, it looks like each card represents one day of the week, plus one? Assuming the first card aligns with Monday, that would give us:
Monday - Queen of Goblets (Cups)
Tuesday - Nine of Cups
Wednesday - High Priestess, Reversed
Thursday - Magician, Reversed
Friday - The Emperor
Saturday - Ten of Wands
Sunday - Valet (Page?) of Blades (Swords)
Overall: Seven of Wands
I’m reading the final/eighth card as an overall card, I’m not sure whether the minor arcana (cups and wands) are upright or reversed, and I’m also not familiar with this deck and any deck-specific meanings, so please forgive the liberties I’m taking, but as a quick interpretation from an outsider looking in, I’d say that it looks like a solid start to the week. Queen of Cups and Nine of Cups paired and upright is a good sign for emotional matters. Middle of the week looks a little bumpy with two major arcana cards reversed. There may be some spiritual tension that turns into material tension, with difficulties either within your practice or perhaps finding the time/resources you need for your practice. Luckily, things settle toward the end of the week. The Emperor and Page are an interesting combo - looks like your ideas are aligning well with your passions. Seems like a good time to get projects done.
If the final card, the Seven of Wands, is the overall, I’d say that getting through the week may require standing strong and sticking firm to your beliefs. The turbulence midweek can be overcome by not caving in to outside pressures. Stick to your practice and try to hold to routine as much as you can. All in all, it looks like a solid week!
Hope these thoughts are helpful for you and your interpretation. Blessed be!

@BryWisteria (a long time reader) gave a great read and I love how she pulled it together. I, too, puzzled over the orientation of the cards but I assumed they should be read as the orientation can be ambiguous.
Since it appears the minors are meant to be ambiguously oriented (my assumption) I think both light and shadow can be considered. I would read the 8th card as a nice summary but also a caution. Stand your ground when bumps in the road appear in the middle of the week but do it with judgement. Don’t tighten your defenses to the point of being brittle. Don’t turn small(ish) challenges into battles. However, don’t roll over, either.

Thank you for the insight. 
All is welcome right now. I’ll have to take pictures of my 2 decks. I just resonate with them, I been trying to learn much as I can, along side with my Kau Cim sticks.

A couple of years ago, I was in that boat. The desire ended up with me digitizing decks and then making decks with AI. I’ve made a lot of them but only a few resonate. Decks that make my imagination flow are few but when I find/make a good one, the readings are so much easier and fun.

I never made any before I brought my online. Like I said, only on looks. So open for others recommends where to pick up some.?

I think we all did that. Some decks have a run through with comment on YouTube. There are occasional reviews here on Spells8.
@BryWisteria did a few reviews and I saw one that I bought and still like. It is called Tarot of Oppositions. There are several selling it.
Others that I like are Robin Wood,
and also the traditional Rider Waite Smith.
I have several others that are a little esoteric.
I’m a sucker for theme decks like Greek, Celtic, Norse and book themes like Godfather and Yellowrock (paranormal) - all in both Tarot and Lenormand.. The characters on the cards are important and help me with setting a theme/arc for the reading. The trouble is, few theme decks I’ve found appeal - I have to make them.

I’ll be looking into the traditional set for sure and others that catch the eye and soul. That I have a daily one I do and I have a night one lunar one I do, and then I do one together by Kau Cim Sticks for an overall general reading & the help of Gemini or now spells8.

I’m happy you bonded so well with that deck! 
And I think I see a little of its influence appear in your readings. You’ve developed a real knack for seeing the card’s energy as a whole, which I think expands your readings in positive ways. It’s inspirational! Makes me want to dig out my old Oppositions deck and spend more time with it
