Added you to the list, Nerys. Great deck, the Deviant Moon. Always mean to use mine more often. Those seem like some very realistic goals you set there - good luck, and remember that we're all here if you need us
I bet you didn't think you would find me here after we last spoke . I decided to sign-up (see previous page).OctoberGwen said:I'm starting to wonder if my VicRom and I should be doing a PDR together instead.
I just can't get a handle on the study, the "academics" side of it, if you will. I don't think learning about the Victorian era is going to add to my depth of understanding of this deck, and other than reading Karen's awesome companion book a half dozen times, I'm not sure where else to go with this.
Maybe I should allow some time to get into 21 Ways, but I'm really not sure about it for these purposes, either.
Help?

aurarcana said:Le Fanu had some great suggestions. Bond with the the cards and think about what makes you connect with the cards: what's in the card, the scenery, the colors. I dislike the word study here, since the focus really is your connection with the cards.
aurarcana said:Regarding the 21 Ways book, you may want to try doing the exercises with a single card first, and then go back and alter the steps the next time. But go with what you feel.

I felt the same way about that book. I read the first few pages and thought that it seemed rather pointless [my apologies to those who are devout followers of her method]. I prefer journaling and seeing where my pen or keystrokes take me, or using free association.OctoberGwen said:I'm having a like/hate with this book right now. I know that the way you described is the correct way to use it, but I want to work with more than one card in depth. What I'm really enjoying is my daily draws right now.
aurarcana said:OctoberGwen, but maybe I'll try the 21 Steps with the BG too. Maybe I can become a believer in the method. I may have been to harsh this morning. Ore-coffee you know .
