Hello, I've been thinking about something for a while now, a new idea on how to read tarot in a group, or with several readers.

This is my theory.
The base of humanity is collective. Our moral and ethics are all based upon that we should be able to live in communities.
In a community where all has their right to speak, ideas are shared and thoughts are spread, reworked, judged, examined, tested, reforged, and presented in a new more advanced form.

If there were to be a reading where all three readers have some form of connection to the cards (Through oath, spirituality, some form of bloodline, they collaboratively created it, shared chakra, etc.) then three (Or one for each color including/excluding the major arcana, nine, twelve, four, fourteen, be creative) readers could together lay out the cards, or one by one in turns, or all together, or in any other way split the job (Perhaps having some form of an altar boy or so laying out the cards while the readers only preform the reading itself).
as they read, they could in that case give several impressions that could give a clearer picture.

By having two minds reading the same reading, there would be the double amount of color in the reading. Just as I speak now, my words reach everyone who browses this forum, and my idea is reformed, agreed, disagreed, and hopefully comes out as a more fantastic idea.

I actually did this a few times with a close friend of mine, who helped me interpret some of the card meanings into the situation where I couldn't really do so, and it really helped.

This is, of course, only purely theoretical, and I don't know if it would work on a regular basis.
What are your thoughts?

We tossed around the idea of doing readings that involved more than one reader in this thread awhile ago in case you are interested:

You have... piqued... my curiosity. I will confess myself interested and possibly willing, depending on the circumstances of the group (ie frequency of readings, ect)

I'd love to try this but how about we extend the idea a bit?

Rather than pulling out and reading the same cards etc. I wonder how similar the results of different readers would be with the same question, but each using their own decks, spreads and interpretation styles.
