Disa
Cool! Thanks
Baroli said:Disa, that is excellent! That, I believe is what Dan meant the book for,....everyone who loves Tarot and wishes to prune and mulch and bloom like the rose bushes in the spring.
Baroli said:But you're missing my question. Why should we as readers drop everything that we have learned previously about Tarot and start over? What is the purpose of getting rid of the muck and airing the rose bushes?
Disa said:You guys are so much more experienced than I am with tarot but I hope you won't mind me tagging along a little bit as I go through my own process.

At this stage in my tarot journey, I have done the "bookwork" that I feel gave me a foundation in tarot, but now it's time to get rid of the books and go with my intuition. I would assume that getting rid of the muck could be tearing down the walls of "what is supposed to be" and finding out "what really is" for ourselves. This is the stage I'm in at the moment.
Now, Dan said to go and write 3 pages in pencil about why I want to read tarot- I haven't done it yet, but the idea lingers, and my set came with a tarot journal that has pages in the back, and pencils, and a pencil sharpener, so... it's time for me to stop being passive and take action in my process isn't it? I have all the tools, it's time to get busy.

Is this anything like removing the muck from the roses?
Moving along into the prologue, what is the value for the reader in Dan's offer to take the deck back, and send the student on their way?
