Experimental Group Readings
This is a new idea that is similar to Your Readings, but a group activity that is aimed at enhancing objectivity, intuition, and the learning of card comparisons and meanings. Reader, sitter, and lurker can greatly benefit. :D
How this works:
The thread-starter will take requests by PM from sitters who will remain anonymous to (3) volunteer readers. First come, first serve sitters!- with questions and/or spreads, as well as general readings- you will work this out with the thread-starter. Sitters are not to reveal themselves to anyone but the thread-starter.
Three (3) volunteer readers can then sign up to join the reading group. The thread-starter will dictate which spread or number of cards should be drawn to answer the querent's question. The deck the reader chooses must be different from the other readers' deck choices in the thread.
**This time, the readers are going to pull their own cards, but must follow the format of the spread, number of cards pulled, etc. - thread-starter will let you know what to do once the sitter is chosen.
Moderation has informed me that it's best to have the readers start their own threads (as it's the rules) for their own readings to the sitter. You can mark your threads by labeling it something such as, "[Your screenname]'s Group Reading - Mar. 19 - Mar. 24" - if you are familiar with the Reading Circles, you are already familiar with this format.
So to recap...
Sitters:
-Send your query to the thread-starter with your question, spread (if any, or one will be chosen), etc.
-Do not reveal yourself until all readers have posted their reading for you.
-Do provide each reader with as much detailed feedback as you can comfortably provide in public; however, you may PM the reader with feedback if sensitive information arises.
-Please make note of the deadline to provide feedback.
Readers:
-Sign up with your chosen deck in this thread.
-Start your own thread titled as, "[Your screenname]'s Group Reading - Mar. 19 - Mar. 24"
-Please make note of the deadline to provide your reading.
-If you are feeling helpful :D you can come back here and post the link to your thread, so that I can organize them all into one post where they are easy to find for onlookers.
-Ideally, you would provide links to a (legal!) site that holds pictures of your decks, or provide your own pictures... however, I realize this may not be possible for everyone, and that not all decks will be available on the internet. So, I will do my best to bring these things together for the ease of future research, reference, and learning -- (in other words, don't sweat it, if you simply can't do it!) :)
Once all this is done, and time permits, I will do my best to provide a summary in this thread of all the readings highlighting main points, and any similar points the readers have made.
Have fun! :)
