MY IDS pledge:
1. I started doing daily draws with the Thoth on Mar. 10, but my official study period will begin on Mar. 19, and I will continue to work with, study, and read with the deck for at least three months, until June 22. (At that time, I will evaluate whether I want to continue for a longer time period.)
2. I have bought myself a new notebook specifically for the Thoth deck, and I will journal daily, both on paper and online.
3. I will only pick up other decks when received in trade or from an order. I will keep new deck acquisitions to a minimum in order to decrease my temptation to use other decks.
4. I will read and acquire only books that discuss the Thoth deck and its images, along with any non-card-specific books that I may already have.
5. I will handle, shuffle, study, and/or read with the Thoth deck every day. In the beginning, these readings will only be for myself, but I hope to get to a point where I feel comfortable using the deck to read for others. I will begin to read for others whenever I feel ready to do so.
6. I will allow myself one crutch or concession: If I feel the need to compare or contrast the Thoth with an RWS, for the purposes of greater understanding of the Thoth system ONLY, I will use the Lo Scarabeo (it incorporates some Thoth symbolism, and it drew me to the Thoth). The ultimate goal, however, is to feel like I have a firm understanding of the Thoth on its own.
7. This is going to be fun!
