Much like the IDS itself, "study" is very personal. For me, "study" means to look through various symbol books to see what symbols in the cards generally mean. And I also go through the companion book to see what the author has to say. But I'm very AR so that works for me.quiet0ne said:hi all,
off to a bit of a shaky start here. i'm doing my daily draws, but i can't get myself to actually "study" any particular card yet. i'm still so intimidated! i read very intuitively, and i think i'm afraid if i do too much study, i'll hamper that.
For someone like you who reads more intuitively, it might work better to look at each card and write down your impressions about the cards. What does this symbol make you think about? How does this color make you feel? What does this scene remind you of? Of course, things will be different in the context of a reading, but if you're anything like me, I'm quite likely to forget a realization I made some time ago unless I write it down.
Also, study for you might work better if instead of focusing on one card, you work on developing the connections between cards. Start with two cards pulled randomly from the deck. How are they similar? How are they different? Are they harmonious together or do they butt heads with one another?
There are many ways to study your IDS deck. You just need to find the way that works best for you.
HTH,
