My name is Alamaris.
I pledge to do the Intensive Deck Study for three months -- from March 19th to June 19th -- with one scenic-pip tarot and one Marseilles: the
Universal Waite and the
Hadar.
I pledge to journal every reading, even if its just the theme and card(s) drawn.
I pledge to take the decks with me wherever I go,
within reason. I have many super-Christian friends who would be more likely to arrange a sacrificial burning for the decks than anything else, so if I'm going to a function at the church... decks ain't following. *grin*
I pledge not to buy, play with, or shuffle any new or existing decks (besides my chosen two) until the study is complete.
I pledge to sleep with the decks on the night table at the head of my bed, every night. (I have a loft bed, so its like a half moon table secured to the "headboard". Safer than putting them under my pillow.)
I pledge to shuffle the decks at least 10-20 minutes per day, each, even if I don't do anything else with them that day. If I shuffle them each for 40 minutes or more every day of the study, I'll give myself a little extra reward. (This helps my obsessive-compulsive tendencies, so the reward is as simple as peace of mind while I'm shuffling, really.)
I pledge to reward myself with something worth around $40 if I finish the study without cheating or slacking off.
And last but not least, I pledge to have fun!
