I like your choices, Skimo! The Faeries are, of course, going to be my Oracle of choice, as well, although I'm not quite in faunabay's camp yet - it's still a deck, to me. Sort of
.
I've been thinking about this most of the day, and I think I'm going to set myself a time of three months. I will begin a day or two after I finish the companion book to the WoC. Now, since I'm only just starting on the Minors section and it's taken me weeks to get through the Majors
I think that the Autumn Equinox would be a good marking point, and a goal for me.
So:
I will begin my ODW on the 22 March, 2008
There. I've said it. My rules (for myself only
) are:
- no readings with any decks other than the tarot and/or oracle decks chosen.
- no study of any deck apart from those two.
- no playing with or looking through any of my decks, not even for the Hide and Seek type threads, apart from new arrivals and then only for the purposes of checking (otherwise eBay will bite me in the butt
).
That's the "Nots" out of the way. Now, it occurs to me that I should have a goal of some description. An active one, that is, not a passive one. Now, to say that I should attempt to journal with each and every card from both decks (Hel, either deck
) is an exercise in futility. So, does anyone have a suggestion for a goal or destination? Or is it not necessary? Is it even quantifiable? Even if I did manage to journal on every card, would I be doing it from a deep and meaningful place, or forcing myself and thus doing substandard "work"?
Hmm, more damn questions.
