Still having a hard time forming a close bond with the alchemical. So I decided today to ask it (for my daily draw)- what can you teach me? What is your purpose in my journey?
And I pulled out the same card I had last time.
So- the deck obviously has something to teach- but it appears I am not quite ready for it. <sigh>- so rather than sell or trade it off, it will continue to rest until that time of enlightenment comes (let's hope it does!).
I get a feeling that this is going to be the same issue with all of my decks that fall into this category- I think of them as my "high magic" decks. All my golden dawn decks fall into this category, golden-dawn-like (hermetic/duquette's deck), masonic, alchemical, cagliostro/papus decks. (The thoth falls outside of this, funny enough- but that is typical for Aleister, he doesn't like pigeon-holed into anything). I feel like I am getting closer to "getting it"- much more so than before, but it still eludes me. But let me pick up a shaman deck, or "low magic" deck, and I zoom right off.
I guess more time is needed with these decks for me- and probably more studying as well. But they will sit there, patiently waiting, while I diddle around and try to figure them out. But, in the meantime, it makes it very clear that I will have to alternate weeks with decks I "get" and decks I don't in order to stay sane and motivated. So- we will see what next week brings!
