Hi everyone,
I'd love to participate in the IDS, it is my first time and I think this will really help me learn Tarot better. My plan will be to use only the Hoi Polloi deck which is my favorite Rider Waite clone and the one I carry with me. For me working with one deck is not much of an issue as I am a novice and rarely read for others right now. However, I am currently working on coloring in my own deck (My Tarot By Juliet Sharman-Burke) which is really just a little side project of mine as another way to learn. I hope this is ok? I'm thinking the "My Tarot" doesn't qualify as a "real" deck yet as I am nowhere near finished with it (only four cards done).
My pledge/plan is to pull a daily card from the Hoi Polloi and journal in my notebook. The real purpose for me right now is to really focus on what the cards mean and observe how they may have taken shape in my life that day.
I will use one reference book to keep things as simple as possible as I should probably be more focused on my own impressions.
I will color at least two cards a week from "My Tarot" picking only those that were drawn that week and I'll add to my notes.
I'd love to have the luxury to color every night but sometimes it's just impossible to make time to do everything I want! I also pledge to participate more in general and post my thoughts/experiences as much as I can here at the forum. Thanks for being here and for the invite to this really great thread. glad I could still join!
