A few days ago I took my brand new Morgan-Greer deck out. My readings changed dramatically right from the very first use. I have read many a time of other readers accidentally stumbling across their 'magic deck'; apparently this is mine. With the RWS I had always used until that fateful day readings had a creaky and mechanical feel. Kind of forced. I kept buying decks, now have many, and was afraid to try any more than once or twice because that RWS had become a crutch of sorts; no other felt better. But what a bad time I picked to try (and click with) a new one!
This weekend I have my first ever public reading event. Until yesterday, I thought of it as just another day, no biggie. Since reading with the Morgan-Greer and discovering my newfound yet unharnessed way of reading (often overlooking standard meaning altogether); I went back to try reading with RWS after a bit of this. To my dismay, reading that way is now next to impossible. Seriously. It's like looking at pretty pictures, nothing more. I now seem blocked to some degree. I now I must put Morgan-Greer away until after Saturday's event. My question is this - has anything similar happened to you and how did you deal with it? Thank you, any insight and suggestion would be appreciated. I am now a bit nervous about this weekend. I know with practice this blockage will likely dissipate, but can't depend on that as a fact.
