I'm kicking myself back into my school writing after another almost week of the blahs, which was harder today than I thought. I was up very early, and out for breakfast, and when I came home, I started working only to realize I was exhausted, so I fell back into bed for a few hours in the middle of the day and had the hardest time making myself get on track since my plan was hours off. I'm proud to say my quote transcription for this paper is officially finished, thus this is my writing and glass of milk break between that and figuring out my introduction this evening.
Last night I left saying I was going to do a reading with my newest deck (
The Hidden Path from
rubymulligan) but I was incorrect in that statement. And had made an error in the assumption that it was another tarot deck, when it is not. I spent about thirty minutes reading the first third of the book and making discoveries of this sort
1 -- It is not tarot, at all, but more an oracle/divination deck.
2 -- It is both a stand alone deck and an expansion deck for
The Well-Worn Path.
2 -- The system is not one I've seen used before, but wholly involved and sensible.
These just made me intensely more curious, especially while reading the chapter about how to learn the deck in three stages, going through the deck card by card in each stage. By the time I'd made myself get up and go to bed I'd only gotten to read the over the first chapters about it and then all information for the first four cards. I'm am enamored with this deck. It's sitting near me tempting me to stop working when paper writing, or even writing on break, to play with them, to read and study and learn more about them.
I am in love with the lessons and the cards and the surprises thus far.
Going to splurge and study three or four more of them before my introduction.
Getting the
The Well-Worn Path is even more definitely on my Grand Somewhere in the Future To Do List!
