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! :)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

We're trying something a little different this time. The sitter would like a focus on what is to come for the next year. Yes, this is a predictive spread, but I thought it would still be interesting to do our readings (without looking at the other readers' posts) and see what we come up with.

Instead of doing a full 12 card spread for the whole year, I decided to knock it down to 8 and go by quarters, like so:

Spring: Card 1, Card 2

Summer: Card 3, Card 4

Fall: Card 5, Card 6

Winter: Card 7, Card 8

So, the first two cards will tell you what is to come for the sitter this coming Spring.

Cards 3 and 4 will tell you what is to come for the sitter in Summer.

Cards 5 and 6 will tell you what is to come for the sitter in Fall.

Cards 7 and 8 will tell you what is to come for the sitter in Winter.

This is a general spread, focusing on what is to come for the next year.

I'll still do the summary later this week, and you'll still be receiving feedback (and hopefully as time goes on as well)! :)

Have fun!

Since no one else has signed up to read, I'll jump in here and pick up the 3rd spot. Since I know who the sitter is though, I'll be posting my reading after the other readers have posted.

I just want to let everyone know also, that I now have limited computer access and won't be able to be here as often (at least once a day though). I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

Thanks! :)

Hi I'm just posting to let you know I won't be able to get my reading done tonight, I thought we had two days to do it not one and I worked a 14 hour day today and am about to pass out :-( It will be done first thing tomorrow and I apologize profusely if this really messes things up.

It's okay, things got a little backed up on my end of things- I normally would have had the spread posted sooner. Since I have limited computer access (until tomorrow hopefully, then things should be back to normal) I'm going to go ahead and post my reading up right now, because I don't think I'll be able to get here later. That way, when you post yours, the sitter can go ahead and get started on the feedback.

Posted in the order that the readers posted their readings: chickeypie, Amanda_04, coyalxauhqui

Spring: Temperance, Hierophant, King of Swords, 3 of Cups, 3 of Pentacles

chickeypie says it'll be a time of getting back in balance and on track as well as getting serious. Amanda_04 says you'll be feeling overshelmed with issues surrounding a man and wanting to walk away from all the drama. coyalxauhqui says it'll be a time for planning in your emotional and physical realms - plan, plan, plan!

Summer: Knight of Pentacles, 3 of Swords, Ace of Wands, 5 of Pentacles, 4 of Cups, Moon

chickeypie says you'll be making slow and steady progress in your life even though you may be feeling lonely. Amanda_04 says you'll obtain personal freedom and a new sense of self, but money issues will keep you feeling restless. coyalxauhqui says your plans in the Spring are going to come into action here and if you were thinking about committing to a current partner, you should; you'll start to see your way out of the murky and walk towards the bright daylight of the future.

Fall: 6 of Wands, 9 of Wands, 6 of Pentacles - Ace of Cups, 10 of Pentacles, 6 of Wands, 7 of Swords (chickeypie had an extra card pop out here).

chickeypie says your perseverance will bring success and if you feel like giving up, a mentor will get you back on track. Amanda_04 says you'll feel at the top of your game and like everything is starting to go in your favor as you prepare for a new home. coyalxauhqui says you're really going to find yourself around this time and to use your confidence to try something new like taking a class or learning a new language.

Winter: 8 of Cups, Queen of Cups, Ace of Pentacles, Moon, Lovers, 3 of Swords

chickeypie says this will be a more emotional time where you will need more "me" time and to look after yourself. Amanda_04 says you'll get the new beginning you were hoping for but will feel you need to defend it and will worry that someone or something will take it away. coyalxauhqui says you may find a new partner but maybe this is telling you to think about the future or lifestyle you want, then find the suitable partner to fill it.

Hi panwardeepali! I haven't done this group experiment in quite some time because there was so little interest from others in participating. But, if more were to express interest, I'd be happy to open a new thread and monitor it as I did before. :)

I was getting 3 readers and 1 sitter in the past.

If someone would send me a private message now expressing their interest in getting a reading and keeping quiet about who they are, I could get to work finding a spread and setting up a thread. :)
