(1) how often do we read for our partner?
(2) does the partner choose one of the two spreads given? just wondering how it all works.
(3) also, does my partner have to send me a request first on what to read about, or do I just read and then post it to them, hoping it makes sense to them?
Too add on to Marion's comments:
1. If you want to do more than one reading for your partner discuss it with your partner, I know I have participated in a round where more than one reading was done as my partner wanted to practice more.
2. I typically open the thread, introduce myself to my partner and ask them what type of reading they want and let them know what I am interested in the reading being about and my preference of spreads. I also ask them if they have another spread preference vs. the suggested spreads. Or if I have one I want to try out I ask them if I can.
3. Sometimes we PM back and forth to get to know eachother, and sometimes have open communication on the board. I usually like to get to know the person a little before doing the reading, and I ask clarification questions or for background on the situation if I feel I need it. Just talk to your partner as you would any friend you are reading for. I find that building a comfort zone with that partner makes the readings a lot more fun for me and them.
To all that are a little nervous, the bottom line is just relax and have fun, that is what they Faeries like best. They'll help you don't worry. This is a really fun group of people here, and you will find you will get a lot of encouragement, support, and a friendly partner. And the faeries just love these rounds!
