Mary Greer's Yes/No system

[Calcifer]

I don't know how I overlooked this, but in her book, "Tarot for Your Self", Mary Greer outlines her own take on Yes or No questions...
Basically you shuffle and cut the deck into 3 piles like you would for a lot of other readings - then turning over the top card on each pile you determine straight up yes and no answers. This practice requires reversals, and it works like this:
An upright card is a "yes", reversed equals "no".... but the middle of the 3 piles counts as two votes. Anybody else play around with this ?

Wow. Great method. I must try it. But it is also mentioned if the meaning of the card is important?
Let's say i get an upright tower card..i take it as positive?

 

[Calcifer]

The way she does it, the card itself is irrelevant... But, like you just mentioned, I've been at least considering the cards that come up as a factor in the big picture...

I tried now the method to see if it works and the meaning of the card also makes a lot of sense. The first card on the first pack was reversed, the middle one was upright and the third was reversed. You said that the middle one counts 2 votes.. And the meaning of the middle card has very much to do with the question i asked. Thanks for sharing.

In her method, what you got would be considered a 'tie" - which more or less means that things still have to "develop" before a clear answer is available.....

I shuffled for 4 more questions and the positive answer i correlated with the meaning of the card and i understood immediately how accurate it was. For one of the questions i got 3 cards reversed and it made sense,cause i already knew it's not possible,so i was just checking if i get another answer this time.

Keep asking impossible questions and it will start saying "yes"...
