It's just that the whole idea of doing predictive readings for fictional or historical characters when you already know what their "future" path will be bothered me. It is a good exercize for a reader, but maybe not worthy of an entire book with a collection of such readings (and little else). Am I alone here?-tb
No, I thought the same thing, & I'm trusting the author when he states the cards weren't contrived in a throw. But even if so, the knowledge I'm getting from his book is worth it. In many cases, it's pretty humorous. But for someone who wants to learn much more about putting it all together, it's an immense help.
I just started the Celtic Cross reading part. Are there any other books specifically about readings? ie not card meanings, spreads, etc. but sample readings.
Gotta say tho, some of the interpretations were definitely not what I would have come up with, but they were probably intuitive readings. I love it because it got me thinking in new directions.
