YES!!!Sulis said:I have a stuffed toy mouse that I made 30 years ago in school and he has been renamed Tarot Mouse.
Tarot Mouse is my 'querant'. He sits opposite me, I ask him his question and visualise his answers. I shuffle and lay out the cards and I 'read' for Tarot Mouse out loud. I imagine his answers and I respond as I would to a real querant.
And IMO, if you at first don't feel a bit silly, talking to a doll (or mouse), then most likely you're not talking aloud. And that's practice. Just like playing a musical insturment, it requires practice.
