which one?
hi Matpoint,
Aristede and I are on the same page, I think. I have Chita's book, and it's actually very good! I forgot that I owned it, as it was a gift awhile back-
I was up for a good part of the night, last night and went through it..it's got a very straightforward system, that reminds me of the gypsy lady's methods that I learnt from with an abbreviated deck.
If I hadn't come across Kapherus blog and forum (blog temporarily down) I probably would have stuck with Chita's method. Alot of Chita's meanings for individual cards are similar to Kapherus, I did a quick comparison this morning, but not all.
Kapherus in one of his writings, gave great kudos to Regina Russell's system, and basically said it was the "mother of all" systems! Kapherus' grandmother was a reader, so he incorporated a few different systems into his...and it's fantastic.
I have ordered Regina Russell's book, thanks to a family member in the states who was willing to send it on to me- (they don't ship outside of the US)- and will have it soon- THEN the real study and comparisons will begin! lol
I know that having learned an abbreviated version, from a professional reader, who has always had phenomenal results...that it's a matter of choosing a system and sticking with it, rather than too many muddying the waters. So in my opinion, if you went with Chita's method, (which I liked) you would get really good results; as would be the case with Kapherus or Regina..I guess it's a matter of how complex you want to get also.
Chita's looked simpler than the other two I've mentioned....those would be my 3 top choices...
don't know if that helps any ! lol but just wanted to add my 2 cents worth
let us know what you end up doing!
best wishes,
