Here we go.
Hi Zan,
Thanks for sending out this invitation to participate. What an excellent opportunity to participate with, be encouraged by and hopefully encourage others.
Reading your Thoth journey thread has been an encouragement/reminder to get moving with the Thoth myself. The deck has been murmuring to me for quite a while now. Honestly I have felt intimidated by it. A few months back I trimmed a large, and feel now's as good a time as any to dig in with an IDS. As OctoberGwen said so well, "I'm a little nervous so please be gentle with me, guys."
OctoberGwen, I also like your idea about 3 months, and will join you for this.
Here's my pledge:
I WILL:
* Use the deck for daily readings Monday through Friday.
* Study the Duquette book on the Thoth
* Learn to identify each card by image only (important as now there are no printed titles)
* Memorize the titles and astrological attributions
* Continue through December 31st with the option to recommit at that point
(Plus these uber-encourging ones from BlueDragonfly
* I will not become discouraged if 'life' throws my study plans a ringer, but get back to it as soon as I can.
* I will come here for support and encouragement and commiseration and will gladly offer the same to my fellow IDSers!
If I can be of help to anyone, please feel free to ask.
Alec
P.S. Zan, great choice on the Fantastic Menagerie. Beautiful and seemingly under-appreciated.
