DECK OF THE MONTH -MAY 2013 sign up thread

Kathy123

This thread is for those who would like to work exclusively with one of their decks for a period of one month. Each week within the month there will be questions, suggestions, ideas and/or activities to help us learn from each other and to learn more from our decks and the relationships we have with it. I hope we will all have fun and learn from ourselves and each other.

WELCOME!

1. Please post a comment to include the deck you will be focusing on this month (feel free to join in at any point in the month).

2. Weekly questions/activities will be posted within the forum, feel free to participate in the discussions but it is not mandatory. I will also type the weekly question/activity back on this post for easy reference.

3. Chat away about your deck, how you're finding it etc

4. Daily draws and our weekly spreads can be posted here: http://www.tarotforum.net/showthread.php?p=3536599#post3536599

Please note the Daily Draws forum is for readings that people do not need help with. If someone wants help with a Deck of the Month reading then they should post it in "Your Readings Forum" like any other reading. ** Please also comment on this thread and tell us when you have posted to another forum :)


5. Please feel free to post any questions, comments, concerns and advice inquiries in this thread :) It belongs to all of us!

6. Most importantly, have fun!

Annabloem

As I posted in the previous thread, I'd love to join again for another month.
I'll be working with my Tarot of the Gnomes, because I feel like I've been neglecting it. it's my favourite deck, and the easiest to read with, which is why I have been focussing on connecting with my other decks. However I feel like using this deck for a month will strengthen my bond again :)

Yippee!

I'm so glad! Welcome back!
 

SwampLady

I'm in again. I thought I was going to stick with my BG, but i might change my mind and use another deck. I have a few days to decide right?
 

Aivli

Hello! I'd like to give the Deck of the Month a go. I hope I can keep up. I'll be working with my Shadowscapes tarot.
 

Juliana

I'm up for doing this again. I imagine this month will be a bit slower in my life, so hopefully I will be more active! I'll be using the Wild Unknown again if you'll have me. :)

By my count you have six days to decide! Great to have you join us again :)

Welcome! That deck is so beautiful, can't wait to hear how it goes for you. No need to "keep up", feel free to join activities that you wish, but there is no pressure here, everyone works at their own pace :)
