After a review from the instigator
of this study, it is official....
Before we begin-
We first need to discuss our situation-issue-question and determine what element best suits our issue.
That will be done in
this thread.
This thread will also be where you tell what card you pulled.
Each card will have it's own thread where we put our 'journaling' (the stuff we get from the phases).
There might end up being some 'holes' as we get further into the format of the study- if there are- let me cover it,
if and when we find a hole
so here's a run down....
PHASE 1
Write down your 'question' & the element that best fits the situation.
As the cards are shuffled- clear your mind and think of your element.
Write down anything that comes to mind, especially try to capture those thoughts/images that seem to come and go in a flash.
Next pull 1 card and find what the dominating element is in the cards imagery.
*NOTE: Some of the Fey cards (minors) images will have a different dominating element than the one that is associated with it's suit.
From what you see in your card- make two lists (or one if your elements turned out to be the same)
One list is for the element connected to your question, what of this element is in the card?
The other list is for the element that donimates the card.
'what happens after that?'
In this thread we have the instructions for this study...."Study #3 - Take #2"
Here we will have stated our question, named an element or two and pulled a card.
What cards are pulled will reside here as a reference list only.
The rest of Phase 1 that you did (journaling) will come into play in Phase 2
'what about Phase 2?' There will be threads for each of the cards pulled.
These threads will be where most of the study happens.
*It's best to not visit the threads until after you have done your excercises.
By reading other peoples descriptions might influence and hinder your own intuitive impressions.
PHASE 2
Pull out each of the other cards that where pulled for this study-
Look at each card and make the same lists as you did in Phase 1 with the card you pulled.
Add your data (journaling) form each of the cards to their threads.
(see threads link list below)
I repeat....don't look at the threads & others peoples 'data' until after you have done your own homework
PHASE 3
Now it's time for a reading! or two....
The Layout-
mix up all the cards of this study and lay them face down,
give each card an element 'title'- you can repeat elements if the 'feeling' is there.
OR
you can make a list of # of elements (position-title) and put a card to each...
Turn over each card one by one and declair the cards dominating element (like in the phase 1)
Now-
remember you question's element?
Look at both lists of elements from the layout- look at the cards titled & dominated by the Element of your question. From these symbols, connect and apply it to your question.
Those that are titled address your question, those that are dominated contain your answer.
Now take the element that dominated the card you pulled and choose ONE thing from each card (in the order they fell) and do a word association.
From this collection, gather the words and symbols together into a 'solution' for your question.
SO before WE really begin, are there are there any questions about this study?
