I'd like to use this approach in my Gloranthan games, but it doesn't fit very well culturally. Astrology/tarot is great if you're playing in a western, new-agey setting, but not so good for other cultures.
So what would Praxians percieve as the fundamental building blocks of the universe? They have this very deep separation between Life and Death, but there need to be more than two elements. My own thought is for four: Bull, Cow, Storm, and Spirit (which happens to follow the gods presented in CoP). I don't think Chaos should feature as an element, as the world was perfectly formed before the Darkness.
And what would Praxians use instead of tarot cards for divination?
