Hi all,
have just posted on the daily draws thread, and then thought that I should introduce myself here.
I'm moving in with the Llewellyn ... not sure for how long. I see that many people are doing three months. So I'll start with that.
I've been thinking about doing this for some time, but there were always so many nice decks that I couldn't bear to ignore!! However, have now got to what seems to be a critical mass of deck ownership, and feel I am collecting rather than reading. Not that I have anything against collecting - I'd just like to be able to do both!
So I pledge that I will not use (i.e. read with, shuffle, play with, take to dinner) any tarot deck except the Llewellyn from now (April 4th 2008) till July 4th 2008.
1) I will at least handle my deck every day.
2) I will journal as often as possible (using the daily draws list).
3) I will not buy any more decks (this is not just a study thing, it's a de-enabling thing!!
4) As a reward, if I make it to the three month mark I will allow myself to add the Druid Animal/Plant Oracles into the mix.
Gosh - the reward one was hard!! I was quietly intending to keep up the oracle on the side (love the animal oracle for the sense that I draw a card and it walks beside me like a furry/feathery/scaly therapist for the day - and have already bought, and am awaiting delivery of, the Plant Oracle). But now I have publicly staked my pitch and fully expect the wrath of the Tarot Gods to descend if I break my oath.
Better go and have a cup of tea to recover ...
Cheers,
PolarBear
P.S. – I wonder if there are such things as Tarot Gods and if so, what they look like? Another thread perhaps?
