Skimo said:Hi,
Finally I think that I will take a week of break after the 21th, when I will have finished with my first IDS.
Then I will IDS for one month with the deck I will choose to bring with me during my larp (live action role playing game) in Elric's world at the beginning of august.
The Archeon, Universal Fantasy and Fantastical are my first choices... will have to go down to one.
Then another break of one week and I will begin my second 3 monthes IDS with the MAAT until Halloween (I can't not read with my halloween tarot the night of halloween).
The Bohemian Gothic can be a good candidate for a winter IDS... don't you think?
During this time, the Illuminated will be my comparison and travel deck, and my oracle will be the Froud Faeries (during winter, I may change for the water crystal oracle...)
I can't commit to anything about deck buying... it's an addiction...
Welcome to all the new IDSers!
Hey Skimo - go with the Universal Fantasy. I can't read with that deck, but it strikes me as the best one for your larp. Just sayin'
I'm starting out with the Maat and the DAO/DPO for my oracle. I won't officially start until the Solstice (6/22 here) as I will be visiting the 'parental units' this coming weekend, and they are most definitely NOT tarot-friendly, so that's right out. I'm going to go to the Equinox (9/22) and then re-evaluate.
Neither of these decks go with my interest in things Japanese (I'm learning the language) and Shinto, but I'm just not interested in using the Ukiyoe at this time. I guess that will just be too much Japanese culture right now. Onward to feminist Pagan/Druidry for me!
I can't swear that I won't buy, look at, or sell more decks in the meantime, as I'm lusting for several right now (see the de-enabling thread), but I have no money, so that's a good thing. Nor am I going to be completely true to the above 2 (3) decks - I may well want to look at other decks in my collection. But I'm not going to read with them, or study them at all.
Sravana, happy to be doing the IDS this time...
