Has anyone else checked out this book? It's new but I thought it sounded interesting so I got it a few weeks ago or so. I haven't had a lot of time to devote to it but I've noticed, in what I did get to investigate, that she's got some rather unconventional ideas.
For instance:
That when you idly lay out spreads, you're actually going to experience everything in the spreads you've put out. Geez---am I ever in trouble, then!
On page 225 she writes:
I have known of people who will get together and attempt to read Tarot over and over, seeking to see what they want to see and dealing out spread after spread until they think they have an outcome that suits them. The trouble is that everything else they have dealt out is going to also happen, so that if a series of disasters or unfortunate events is predicted on the way to seeking something ultimately pleasant,....the interpretations of discord will not go away and ultimately must occur.
So what do you all think of this idea? Do you think this is actually true? I don't, but I found it interesting. I think it might scare some who are new to Tarot. It might be the start of another Tarot myth, too. (No disrespect meant to Ms. de Angeles, who is fully entitled to her own opinion.)
