Using the Lover's Path tarot, I separated all of the cards with couples from the rest of the deck. Most of these cards are Majors. Each day I pull a card and write a romantic scene about the couple.
What a brilliant idea! I've journalled with one card in my deck, very successfully, but that was because after reading the author's meaning I totally disagreed with ti and wanted to write down my own impressions. I like mine better. But for the most part, the application of these card is very immediate, and I've found it difficult to do a more generic, abstract journalling exercise with them. The lurching of the imagery between natural, man-made, ancient and modern, close-up and wider perspective is very offputting, as well, which makes it very hard to get a flow going on.

Also been availing myself of the wealth of info down in the RWS section the forum -- there's definitely enough there to keep me learning until the autumnal equinox.
Those folks down there are very knowledgeable, indeed, and the esoteric applications and
stuff is in-depth and intriguing! Good for you!

I may break one of the rules though, as I am considering buying the Maat Tarot since I have found a bit of extra money.
I will, of course, keep up with the Steele Wizard as my study deck and put the Maat away for later.
*GASP*!!! Lucky thing! Go for it - I wish I could do the same!

I had a really positive reading this morning, implying that I was nearing the point that my "bad aspie days" (days where my mild autism is bad) are going to be lightening and I'm going to be more clear-headed. I hope this wasn't just my hopes projecting on the deck. I'm working on learning all the "proper meanings" for the cards before I start doing any intuitive reading... I work better that way than the other way around. I know a lot of people on the forums advocate intuitive reading and meanings, but I just can't read that way. I am logic-driven obsessive compulsive! Hear me whine!
Wow, Alamaris, that sounds heavy. I think it's amazing that you can read that sort of thing in your cards - what a brilliant, uplifting reading that must have been. Good for you.

So, I'm planning to do a spread on future relationships soon... anyone have a favorite spread? There's just SO many threads about love and relationships in the spread index, so a recommendation would be appreciated.
I really like shotthebreeze's
Life Partner spread. I've gotten great results with it for . . . oh, gods, someone who came back months later and said my reading was eerily accurate - I really like shotthebreeze's spreads, mostly. Give it a try!
