For those of us who took part in the ritual, this is mine World Spirit deck 1What will you teach me?7 of pentacles 2.What do you need from me? Hierophant 3.What will our relationship be? 7 of wands 2 7's in a 3 card spread. Tarot for Yourself uses maturing process, inner work, self reflection, mastery, unity within complexity, self expression, awaking, and forsight as key words for 7's in general 1.Keyword is Assessment. You will teach me to assess what Im doing andto make sureits worth it 2.Hierophant-You need me to take stock of my beliefs, looking to different teachings may help, but it is myown relationship with the divine that is important 3.Keyword is courage. You could be something Im passionate about. I should always be strong and hold my truth with you. Youwill assert your point, you'll tell it like it is. The pictorial key saysa meaning of this card is success so it should be a successful relationship

I consecrated 7 decks so bear with me. (Decks were as follows: 1. Buckland Romani; 2. Hanson Roberts; 3. Mythic; 4. Tarot of the Cloisters; 5. Robin Wood; 6. Hudes; 7. Rider Waite. What will you teach me? 1. Moon - dreams and intuition; 2. Hanged Man - looking at life from a different perspective; 3. the Star - insight; 4. 7 Cups - dreams and possibilities; 5. King of Pents - intelligence and wisdom; 6. Devil reversed - beginning of understanding; 7. 5 of Swords - conquest. What do I need to do? 1. 8 Cups - look deeper into the meaning; 2. 5 of Pents reversed - new interests; 3. Knight Swords have incisive knowledge; 4. 8 Swords reversed - new beginnings, meditation; 5. 8 Cups - new interests 6. Temperance - be balanced, be moderate; 7. Page Pents - have an effect, be practical. What will our relationship be like? 1. 2 Pents - flexibility, ability to handle new situations; 2. Page Swords - Be truthful, use good thought; 3. Wheel of Fortune - success, good fortune; 4. 4 Swords - Contemplation, quiet preparation; 5. 5 Cups reversed - hopeful expectations, new alliance; 6. 10 Pents - prosperous family; 7. 7 Wands - discussion from position of advantage. The implications are absolutely amazing! By the way, there were 6 Majors; 4 Court Cards (1 King, 1 Knight, 2 Pages); 5 Swords, 5 Pents, 7 Cups, 1 Wands.

Liliana, Kayne and Pollux each have their own separate thread in the Your Readings section. I've asked both of them to move their responses here so we can do some analysis and comparisons. I do hope they move to this thread, because I would like to print it out when we've finished "looking" at our cards.

could you modify your post and put which decks go with each card? :) If they dont move their posts here by the end of the day Ill go copy and paste them down here :)

You have some very odd perspectives of the interpretations of certain cards.. you've interpreted a lot of cards... in fact all of them .. in a positive sense, when many have negative connotations. Are you sure you're reading objectively? That's always a challenge I face when I read for myself. Later, New2Tarot

1) What I will learn from you: Page of Wands 2) What you want from me: 3 of Wands 3) How our relationship will be:2 of Pentacles I've read thur the the descriptions of each cards they seem positive and feel positive, but I would like someone else opinion please. :)

New2Tarot	28 Feb 2002
Aciddragon, I'm fairly new to this but I have built my base understanding of the cards on traditional meanings .. to avoid misinterpreting cards based on intuition I might not have LOL!! This is just my $0.02, but I thought I'd throw it out there anyway in a context that applies to your new relationship with a new deck. Page of Wands: Good news, and hopeful opportunities are on the way.. you have a lot of energy and enthusiasm at your disposal as you begin a course of learning. Heirophant: This card indicates a spirtual search for meaning with a focus on moral development. You need to consult with those who are knowledgeable on the subject (tarot--these boards) to help further your learning. Pay attention to convention and orthodoxy (traditional meanings at first). 7 of Wands: It will be a challenge, but you have the vantage point ... even if you don't recognize this. Persist and you will persevere, take it one step at a time (learning the tarot). Thumbs up here, I'd say.. I know my experience with this whole thing has been frustrating and exciting when I get hit with accuracy from the deck, so just keep trying and you'll succeed. Later, New2Tarot

Ok... moved it :) :) :) * * * * * I did this reading with the World Spirit tarot and, if you read the interpretation in the LWB for each of the cards, they relate very well to a new relationship between me and my new deck... 1) What I will learn from you: Seer of Swords A fairly tactless youth that says the truth despite the consequences... 2) What you want from me: Six of Wands 'Glory' Recognition by others for being successful... 3) How our relationship will be: Seer of Cups A gentle loving dreamer with a growing sense of intuition and psychic abilities... I have to say, I couldn't have asked for a better reading from a new deck! (The moon was amazing last night!!!)

Did this with the Robin Wood deck: What will you teach me? 3 Wands What do you need from me? Queen of Cups What will our relationship be? Empress I see this as a very good spread indeed! This deck will teahc me how to integrate what I learn into a reading effectively, and could spark inspiration and creativity. However, it does need a bit more understanding from me, and I need to listen to it a bit more. Our relationship will be fruitful, full of growth, development, and good times. Maybe one of Mother and Daughter? (Don't know which one will be Mum and which one Daughter though!) Kiama

Liliana, As I was modifying my post as you requested, I realized that I hadmade an error in posting my spreads. Thank you for the opportunity to correct my mistake. New2Tarot - My error mentioned above might have led to some confusion. The interpretations were deck specific, not RW in general. Thank you for your post, however.

Pollux	02 Mar 2002
HEY GUYS!!!! IT'S ALL SO MESSY!!! Why don't we post them al over again? Each of us will have HIS VERY OWN post about his/her spread, ok? So that contributions will only be aimed at THAT specific spread, and we don't get confused... PLEASE! Consider this! For example: World Wide Consecration - Pollux: New Deck Spread. And, why don't we do it in "Your Readings"? I think it is more appropriate to post it there, and more people could contribute to it... Don't you think? Please, consider these things!

Pollux	02 Mar 2002
Sorry, doubled post

Liliana	03 Mar 2002
Heres Pollux's Here's my spread: 1) What I will learn from you: Kinght of Cups 2) What you want from me: Queen of Wands 3) How our relationship will be: Page of swords I really need help! This three courts are tricky! We wanted them in the same post to save space and makecomparing easier:)

Pollux	04 Mar 2002
Ok, I resign... And if it is to you, I really can't do much :) OUCH!!! I haven't looked at yours, and I haven't even posted my "Entering The Card" Experiment - this is really the only term I can use. It was just new, and so amazing! I really entered the armor of the Knight, I became the Knight of Swords! :) Well, I'll save this thread to disk, and sort things out! And also plan my next post about my entering, ok? :p
