The Primary Deck Reflections 2009 Sign-up & Discussion Thread

It seems that there are a few of us intersted enough to give it a try. Now we just have to decide on which spread.

I don't know about anyone else but I am kind of tired of the typical spreads and I am looking for somethings completely off the wall and light hearted. I think that six to seven cards is the top limit for a good blog post. Longer spreads create longer posts and they are not that exciting.

Some ideas I have:

1) Does anyone have a favorite spread?


2) Past life spread: As with Spirit Guides, which I am not sure I believe in, I have never been a believer in past lives. So it might be fun to look at a spread where I can play with the idea.


3) Light and Shadow Spread: I saw this in a Faerie Oracle Reading Circle
http://www.tarotforum.net/showthread.php?t=87249 Or any other nonTarot/card oracle spread

4) A Reader's Development spread: http://www.tarotforum.net/showthread.php?t=60279

5) "Something to Try" This looks like it might be intersting. While a new deck activity it might be interesting to try with a deck we have been using a while. http://www.tarotforum.net/showthread.php?t=93600

6) Deck Comparison Spread? Any one know of any? There are a few of ya'll using decks I own but haven't really used yet. I thought it might be intersting to do a side by side reading to get a feel for the contrast.

Just some of my ideas, looking forward to hearing what others are thinking.

I love to do this one with any deck, new or old.

I'd also be up for the Past Life one. I don't really believe in spirit guides, or past lives, but doing the spreads anyways is a neat exercise.

Also: Arg, Canadian shipping, why are you so slow? I want the Celtic to get here so I can compare all three decks side by side. I'm taking a three day train trip next week, so I really hope it arrives before then...

I like Alta's simple 5 carder...

I am assuming it is the Light and Shadow spread. The post it was in was written by Alta.

Right?

Onyx.

Thanks, Onyx! I like this one, too. Better jot it down for future reference.

Me too.

5-6 cards are plenty for a reading.

Yes, the Light & Shadow Spread was the one I was referring to.

Hi everyone.

Just wanted to post quickly that I am still committed to my PDR, I'm just finding it very difficult to post weekly on a regular basis. Working a rotating schedule with every other weekend off and every other weekend working, it's hard for me to set a defined day to blog, and without some sense of ritual, I'm finding it really hard to make blogging a habit.

So please, just bear with me guys. I'm still working with the Illuminated and loving every minute of it, and I'm still reflecting and studying and pulling back the layers, I'm just having issues finding the time to sit down and put it all into words and phrases. I know this was supposed to be a weekly commitment, and if I need to pull out of this exercise for being non-compliant then I will, but I'm reaaaally trying to get into a routine.
