So I like the idea of a blog and people can comment there. I guess I'm wondering if anyone really will bother to go off-site and do all that?
I don't know if I would unless it's someone I "know" or they are using a deck I find particularly interesting. I just don't have enough time to do more.
While I understand about the desire to keep this Aeclectic exercise in the Aeclectic domain, my desire to set up a tarot blog is part of the reason I liked this idea. I don't think that I will be doing a lot of spreads as part of my PDR. I have found that my Liber T while awesome with others almost sees the mindless and over examining foolish or maybe just tedious. So I don't know what my blog is going to evolve into but I want to write in it every week.
In a realistic sense, I have never been one to think that anyone would find my thoughtful ramblings on the Tarot that intersting anyway. If ya'll wanted to come by and read my blog, God bless man 'cause it is my blog and I can barely make it through. I will be following other blogs, as blogspot.com allows us to follow other blogs pretty easily. I have already started to follow some other PDR blogs.
If this exercise to bear the type of results I want/need from it I have to be focused more on the journal, examination, reflection aspect rather than the feedback. I joined this thread more in a sense of accountability. I have said I am going to do it here, to others and that helps me get motivated.
I do love the idea of working with the deck in studious manner and then posting those to the existing Liber T study thread. I have had a couple of initial ideas that I want to try out and see if they work. I will be putting those on my blog first and then possibly putting them in a thread here.
The value I see of this group/thread is in mid-June when I am out of ideas I can examine other blogs, threads, and come to the thread and ask for ideas on what to do next.
I am excited about so many of us looking at fewer decks and working on the reflection aspects of the tarot, individually but as a group.
