Hi,
In the Book of Thoth, describing the OOTK, it has many strict rules that could potentially just end the divination, because, according to the book, that question wasn't meant to be answered right now I guess? For example, in the first operation, if the significator isn't in the appropriate deck according to the question asked, you should stop there.
Does anyone actually follow this? Besides just dismissing it outright, I am curious why Crowley said to just give up at a point such as this.
I've been using this spread, and a few times the significator did not end up in the correct pile, but to me it represented that the querent is focusing too much on a certain aspect that does not have to do with the question at hand, and so these issues must be taken care of first. so i just go on with the reading and say that these issues must be handled before the situation asked about can be dealt with or accepted.
For example, I once was asked to do a reading about love, and found the significator in the earth pile. The cards here pointed out that the querent desired success but didn't have the motivation or drive to go out and do something (i.e., get a job, which ended up to be correct). I said in the end that the querent couldn't really do anything in terms of relationships until these issues were handled first.
Just curious what people think about this, though. I don't want to just dismiss that "rule" without knowing why it was written, for there must have been a reason.
