As mentioned in another thread, beginning on the week in which Christmas falls, some of us will begin to take one card a week for the ensuing 78 weeks. The study will therefore be complete just in time for the 2005 Melbourne Conference...
Apart from determining one's own sequence, there are no specified decks, no particular book, nor presumed associations with other systems.
The idea is to reflect, meditate, or even draw each card... and spend a whole week daily doing such - for five minutes daily can be far more effective than an hour here and there. Ideally, each day will have the same 5 minutes set aside, whether it be morning, afternoon or evening...
Personally, I will attempt to post some small element of my personal reflection... that is all.
When we begin, please use the relevent thread of the card. If you are working on a card which does not yet have its thread, PM me and I will start a thread for the card you are working on (unless you would prefer to begin it yourself). For the sake of convenience, please use the following format:
NB: the threads themselves, following comments and discussions made, will be located in Using Tarot Cards.
As we will each be using various decks, and given that we definitely have varied preferences, please use the traditional numbering, save that the Fool, Justice and Strength I ask that we leave un-numbered in the subject titles, and that the following be used for the suits:
Also please note that I will maintain a linked Table of Contents for the threads of 78 weeks within this very thread
If you're up for the challenge... be prepared to persevere through difficult weeks
