Deck of the Week : Sign-up Thread: Week 248 : April 30 - May 6

[DaughterOfDanu]

Thanks for asking. My trouble is a matter of personal preference. I like to read my oracles intuitively, but I have to rely on the companion book for my Messengers deck. The readings make perfect sense when I refer to the book, but I wish the cards would spark my intuition more. Maybe my frustration with the Sacred Circle deck is carrying over to the oracle cards! **sigh** I'm not ready to give up on the Messenger oracle, so I think I will put it aside for now and try again at a later date.

Ah I can totally understand. It feels so limiting when you have to keep the guidebook handy just to understand the connection to yourself or whoever the reading is for.

I don't have that issue with the Messengers Oracle, but felt similar about the Oracle of the Mermaids I worked with this week. Some cards I look at and even with the titles/subtitles don't get how it can apply and have to skim the guidebook.

I'm glad you're not closing the door on it entirely It can be fun returning to a deck you've struggled with to find one day it's much more talkative. It's why I struggle to sell any of my decks that I don't connect with. I feel there's always the chance my feelings to it might change.

Although the sun is out my power seems to be having issues, so I'm making this quick!

Can't believe it's that time already! The Sacred Circle companion book is chock-full of interesting info about pagan mythology and lore, but it didn't help with my readings or connection with the deck. Will be moving on...
