I haven't been able to find it, but someone somewhere asked about what method to use for book storylines.
I have used GT's and they are okay. There is a 'but' though. They felt stilted, a little formulaic and they were not the fun I hoped they would be. Lots of info but it felt a bit too much.
Tried smaller 3 x 3 spreads and didn't really feel they cut the mustard either.
Last book I read, I just chained. Found Man house position on my GT mat and shuffled the deck. First card out was the opener for 10 so to speak. That card then took me to its relevant house position where the next card from the deck was laid. That too was read as a pair, before finding the next house link in the 'chain'
I have to say - it was a blast and hit the mark. Bonus was how it flowed, it was fun, it didn't feel as though I was following a set programme at all.
What was also interesting, and proved to be a worthwhile exercise, was seeing the unused cards. (total of 9)
I just flipped them over and it ran through my head instantly that each card showed aspects that were NOT part of the book or relevant. And again, they were spot on.
Just wanted to share. I haven't really seen many use chaining as a main reading method but I think it will be a player in my readings. Once the man card was flipped over it took me back to that house position and completed my chain.
Not taking credit for this system - got to thank others, particularly Rana George for inspiring me to use it. She does detail its system in her book. I have the reading written in a journal, and later today I will (time permitting) type it in the reading section here at AT.

And as for the technique, I think it will be one I enjoy turning to. I have now typed up the reading on Lenormand readings / journals section.
