Definitely join a reading group -- the Newbie Exchange is quite wonderful, and really, this is a great place to read for others. The bottom line, for me at least, is that reading for others stretches my intuition -- especially if I don't know the people or can't SEE them... I have to go with what the card tells me and what that whisper in my head says... And, especially at Aeclectic, if you make mistakes or get something wrong, no one will be terribly upset. We all here to learn, and part of that is working together to learn together.
At least, so has been my experience. Despite the fact that I've had the desire to read a lot for others this last week, about the only place I do that most of the time is in the Circle of Stones... And sometimes (not for awhile, though due to time constraints) the Newbie Exchange. Really, give it a try... You'll see... It's a really good thing.
