Hi Lil Red and well done on getting this going
Glad to see you too are enamoured with Rana's book. It is friendly, warm, non preachy and a great read.
I am following her lead and pulling cards during the day on issues, starting today. I had an iffy scam phone call supposedly from a bank asking for my husband. It was great to do the draw on that phone call, and see that they were networking and had tried it on lots of people, (garden) but I did the right thing in protecting the identity and details (dog), of my partner (lily).
I hope you get a good take up with this forum, and that it is fun, entertaining, enlightening and a great place to share.
As for journalling, if I have that 'eureka' thing with a card combination I star the entry. It is a take I may not have come up with without the hindsight that comes on evaluating the reading at the end of the day.
Not got into the noun, verb, adjective thing too much yet. I think it feels a bit restrictive for me. When I have tried it, I am trying to shoe horn the reading into a strict structure, and I just don't enjoy it, or feel I have really got value of a correct interpretation. I just look at the 3 cards and put the scenario together that makes sense at the time. It may be that comes out naturally as part of the process, but may not. I think Rana's book is giving me the feeling I can follow the system, but it does not have to be regimented in any way. She sometimes does a 5 card spread with a significator, sometimes doesn't. And, looking at her examples there seems to be a bit of fluidity with how she interprets the cards. I haven't picked up her being regimental with the noun, verb, adjective thing which gives me heart - that I am not doing it 'wrong' if that makes sense.
Ramblings over. Look forward to more postings here
