View Full Version : Interested in joining in on a "group reading" and then comparing results?

You know what might be interesting, if it's okay with Pam? For those of us who do readings to pick one person, concentrate on them, and then all post our readings at once. Isn't there a function where our posts can be hidden until a moderator puts them up or something?
Like, if some of us all read a volunteer, we could put up our readings over a week-end, and they could all appear on Monday. Or something like that. Then we could compare and discuss and the subject could validate or, well, not. (Is there a word for "Unvalidate?")
I would be happy to be a reader or a subject. Or both, we could take turns.
Theo-
That would be very interesting indeed, and a good learning tool I think.
Yes, we have the technology (6 million dollar? noooo....) We can do that, create a separate folder where the posts require validation from a moderator.
Awesome idea, Theo! I agree that it would really be a great learning tool, Pam. Wouldn't it be weird if we all got the same or nearly the same readings for the same person? (cue twilight zone music) :laff:

Wow that is such a cool idea - I think it would be very useful too to see how the readings compare. I would love to be one of the people being read. (Count me in as a volunteer).
Becky
Becky, do you also want to try doing a reading?

08-12-2004, 09:19 AM
I would be happy to have a go but I think I would not be very good. I have only just started listenign to John's CDs and though I have had a few spooky psychic experiences in the past I have never tried t read anyone. I would love to try though. But, if there are people who have a natural talent which they are trying to develop I will be more than willing to be their guinea pig!
Becky
Ok, so we have 4 readers and one querent. Any more readers want to volunteer?
Becky, thank you for volunteering, and please start thinking of a question that you'd like us to work on for your reading. :thumbsup:

Pam,
Count me in to add my two cents worth.
And I wouldn't be surprised if we even started to come up with information that doesn't apply to the person we're supposed to be reading, but someone else here on the Board.
When you go to that place of intuition, wherever IT is, you start taking in info that is valid, but sometimes belongs to someone else...not the person you think you're focusing on.
And when we all are combining our energies, it just makes them stronger,I think.
Ooh, this is going to be fun! :thumbsup:
Irish140
I'd agree with you Cindy, but for the purposes of this lesson, we'll need to keep focused on the person who is volunteering to be read. I know that the energy can apply to other people when doing a reading, but it's not the goal, and I feel, shouldn't be an "acceptable error". The goal is to get focused on the energies associated with the person being read, and keep a lid on "seepage" if you know what I mean. Otherwise, our lesson will become unfocused and could start going all over the place.
Would you agree?

This sounds fascinating. I would love to be a volunteer. I don't feel comfortable enough to read someone else, not quite brave enough to get my feet wet.
So, I need to think of a question??
Blessings,

I'd agree with you Cindy, but for the purposes of this lesson, we'll need to keep focused on the person who is volunteering to be read....
...Would you agree?
I agree.
That would be crossing over into the territory of unsolicited messages that we have maintained we would not get into.
Good luck to all of you, readers and subjects! :)
Wait -- how about "sitters"? Can we call them sitters? I think I like that better than "subjects"... :lwink:
Historically in tarot and some other forms of divination, they are called "querents", meaning they are asking a question, prodiving a query :) Sitters is fine with me too :)
I should also state, that by agreeing to be the querent or sitter, and thereby the "subject" of discussion, you are agreeing to let us go into some things that may be of a personal nature. We can expect that we'll make statements, (which you may or may not agree with); we can ask you questions to clarify, but you don't have to feel that you need to go into detail if you feel that's it's too personal.
No truthful reading paints a picture of "pie in the sky" so if the reading is showing that you have room for improvement in certain areas, we'll be saying so! Hopefully though, that discussion will be framed in the same way I said it: Not that you have "problems" or "flaws" but that you have "opportunties for growth or improvement."
As readers, we should probably agree to do the same general spread. For example, if 3 of us do the celtic cross (even if some position meanings are different) it wouldn't be a true comparison if another person did a 12 month horoscope spread. Agree or disagree?

Pam, I agree with that, since different card spreads are used to divine different information. In example, a past/present/future spread would solicit different results than a Celtic Cross or a Tree of Life spread. Should we post about the different spreads (i.e. "how-to") so that we are all on the same page? Just a thought... :hmm:
I think that any serious tarot student knows the celtic cross. If we start there, as beginners then we're all on the same page. The Celtic cross is basically the same, with some variations between position meaning, but I think the celtic cross is basic and common enough that the variations will be slight.
We should probably post in a format of:
Card position meaning: Card Pulled: our interpretation
For example, we might post:
Recent Influences: 3 Pentacles: I see this card as meaning blah blah, etc. etc.
This brings me to another question: Is it ok if someone uses a different type of deck, that doesn't follow the same Major arcana, lesser arcana, 4 suits, court cards, etc. as the rider waite?
ScubaCat
08-12-2004, 12:21 PM
Pam, perhaps after all the readers have had a chance to make suggestions, you can pull all the ideas together, select the ones you think are best and give us guidelines to keep us on the same track.
My suggestions:
I like the idea of all doing the same card layout. Fewer cards would probably work best until we get the hang of it. I would suggest that for our purposes, the question not be the biggest, most involved dilemma in the persons life, but something smaller that is likely to resolve itself in the near future - so we can see better how we did. It would be interesting for each person to post the cards they pulled and how they interpreted them if they are willing to do so.
Thanks for setting this up!

Sounds good to me, Pam! Shall we go for this week-end, being as this is Thursday? I think we may not need a bunch of controls or rules since it's just us folks and we aren't doing a scientific kind of deal, though I always use Celtic cross, anyway. I don't do the "question" thing, I always think the other side in the form of relatives or guides knows what the querant needs to hear anyway.
I was real glad you brought up the issue of personal information. I also want to bring up that we need to be real honest and open as readers with what we get. So, we are establishing a trust relationship before we even start.
So, shall we begin now, or would people like to wait a week? My suggestion is: Becky/ post readings over the over the week-end for Monday viewing/ with the lead pipe in the drawing room.
Theo <---may be confused

I hear and agree with your assessment of focusing on just one individual...I'm all for putting a lid on seepage of ANY kind! :thumbsup:
I guess my comment referred to the possibility that sometimes "seepage" does occur unasked for...I supposed it's just like John's "me-too's."
But this brings me to some clarifying questions:
1. Do we/I have to only use the cards as a means to answering questions or relaying information? May I use numerology, astrology, psychic techniques...whatever works for me?
2. If I/we do use different techniques, as a means of explanation and keeping things clear and concise, do you want to have me/us relay in what venue we used to get the answers we pass on?
3.Finally, I prefer the "Querent" (or for informal, friendly purposes here in this exercise...whichever FRIEND we are reading for :) ) ... anyway,well at least for me, I prefer that person brings to the table here a very clear idea in their mind WHAT THEY WANT TO KNOW? Is your question job-related, money-related, home related, love-related? The hodge-podge approach is great in some instances, and often it's the hodge-podge that takes over. But for a mature, constructive and very productive way to get good answers, the person being read does much better if they come into a reading clear-headed, structured, and goal oriented in exactly WHAT they want to learn.
Out of focus, confused, and murky does not enable the person asking the questions to feel empowered by the reading if they remain passive. This is just MY opinion, however...what works best for me and what I've seen ultimately is the most helpful in moving everything along. But whatever is decided within the group here...I'll go along with.

Ok, Becky was first, so she'll be our first querent!
Becky, think on your question. You can, and should make it fairly specific. It's our job as readers, to help you frame your question if need be. It should be more than a yes/no question, and may include a time frame if you wish. (Any other suggestions for framing a good tarot question are welcomed.)
We'll do the readings over the weekend, and post them in the readings folder (http://www.johnedwardtalk.org/forumdisplay.php?f=74), which will be moderated (posts will have to be approved by a moderator before they can be viewed.) Monday morning, we will release the readings all at once for everyone to view and comment.
Any questions? :)

:) Ok brace yourselves: one question coming up!
I left University a year ago and am in what I would consider my first 'proper job'. I would like to know what the future holds for my career. So, am I on the right path and where do you see it taking me over the next three-five years?
Of course if anything else comes through i.e. health or lovelife wise, do post it as I am interested to know whatever it is you can tell me.
Looking forward to hearing what you come up with.
:jumper: :jumper: :jumper:
Best of luck guys
Becky :D
You should limit the question to just the career portion, as your cards will be viewed in light of the question. For example, if you get a card meaning "Unexpected change" how will we know if means your career, your health, or your lovelife? If the question is focusing on career, then we know it may mean a change regarding your career. See what I mean? :)
If you have questions about health or lovelife, that should probably be a different reading. This doesn't mean however, that cards that speak about those elements in your life won't come up -- it would just mean that the cards would be speaking about your health or lovelife affecting your career.
So, is the question, "How does my current career fit into my life (karminc?) path the next 3-5 years?" Or do you wonder "Will the career I am in now will be financially rewarding over the next 3-5 years?"

I am not married to this, but...
I think we might want to just do cards in the "Cartomancy" folder, in light of our original intention to learn from each other and improve our skills. This way, I might say, "I always put this spin on the 3 of hearts...." Or we might discuss how we read cards in terms of their influence on each other in terms of placement. I think if we do a bunch of techniques, it will be too confusing. What do the rest of you think?
Also, Pam, would it be easier if we had a separate topic thingy for each reading? Like thge Becky Reading and then the Theo Reading or whatever? Then we will have a place to put the readings all together, might be easier for you, too? (I don't know, to me a computer is just a fancy typewriter, so I am clueless)
Theo-
Theo, I think you have a good point about keeping to the subject of cards. Or at least, keeping them all in one place. Then if someone else wants to use another method, they could post it separately in another thread.
I envisioned having a thread in the reading folder titled, "Becky's 8/13/04 question with tarot" and then we all post our readings to that single thread, and discuss within that thread. Then, still in the "Readings" folder, our astrology buffs can post "Becky's 8/13/04 question with astrology". That way, different methods can be applied and compared in one place, but some semblence of order will still be kept.
I appreciate the input from everyone, making my brain think! :)

As for your first client - if Becky can pm me with her birth info. (date, time and location) I can try to answer the same question using astrology and will post it in the astrology folder for comparison. This is a great way for me to begin to concentrate on client's questions during an astrology consultation.

I'd also be very happy to be a victim - er, sitter/querent. Tarot is actually something I did want to try to learn, but I didn't think I would be able to get any practice ... there's really no one I could think of to ask :hmm: . This sounds like a great oppotunity. I don't have any cards or books yet. But in a couple of months, if this activity is still up and running, I'd be willing to give it a go from the other side (oops, I mean as a reader :laff2: ).

If you read through this thread from the beginning, you'll see who volunteered to be the card readers.
The querent will pose a question, and then over an agreed upon time period (a couple of days to accomodate everyone's busy schedules) the readers will do their readings. They'll type up their results into a post, and post them to a single thread for that person's question. Hopefully, the querent will respond with feedback in comments, ask more questions about the meanings, etc. The readers will likely compare results and comment, or ask each other questions too, all here on the board.
Since this is our first effort, it's probably best to go with one querent and one question at a time. If we decide to go forward, we'll tweek the process and maybe we can do multiple readings at one time.
What a great idea!! Sounds like you already have several sitters, but if you are looking for any more- count me in!! I'd love a chance to be read by any of you! :jumper:

I agree Pam. I'm standing by waiting for clarification from Becky.
I went by the bookstore today just checking to see if John's new book was in the store yet - no. So I looked over the tarot books - not expecting to see anything that I hadn't already reviewed and rejected. This time my eye was pulled to a box way up on the top shelf. It was an inexpensive tarot "kit". I took it down and looked it over. I didn't care much for the card design - the pictures were a little disturbing and the identification on the cards was in French (no thanks). But when I opened the small paperback book that was in the kit, I was pleasantly surprised. Here was the clearest, cleanest description of the cards I have found. It was exactly what I've been looking for. Now I'm going to settle in and read through the book to prepare for Becky's reading. You just never know what your guides have in store for you!
Was it the Marseilles deck? See examples here:

Yep, that's it.
I much prefer to use the Rider/Waite cards for now. The book that came with the kit shows both the Marseilles deck and the Rider/Waite deck as it describes each card.

Just wondering what we are doing here....are we all going to wait to get Beck'y question more narrowed down, or should we start reading now?
At least two of us aren't comfortable doing the reading unless we know what the specific question is (time limits, etc.) I've emailed Becky and hopefully she'll check her mail before the weekend is over.

Pam, I see that you envision having people do different kinds of readings on the same person. I assume that you'll be needing some basic information from querants, like DOB.
Do you envision having readings once a week or biweekly or monthly?
I generally ask for the day and month of the querent so I know the sun sign and element associated. I don't think there has to be any set schedule; it would be based on reader and querent availability. I've added your name to the "waiting" list petrichor! :)

Can't wait to se the results and get hewr response.

We are waiting to hear back from Becky before posting her readings, to make sure everyone knows what specific question she had. All the readings will not show up immediately when you post them.
They will first go temporarily into a moderated folder. Don't think your post didn't take and re-post it. :)

I myself am not self disiplined enough to learn the different avenues. :o

I saw my reading and Mrs. Jones and I clicked on to read them but it said it was invalid. Then I made sure that I was in the Other Topics group, and I am.... sooo How do you get to read the readings once they're posted ? Thanks ! Barbara
They're still in the moderator queue to be approved and the fact that you can see the thread title on your post on the home page, is a "bug" in the home page portal software.
Remember, we wanted to post all the readings at once, so that each reader might not be influenced by the other reader's results. I haven't done mine yet, because I was waiting for Becky. I'll post mine some time today. We're a little off our schedule, but this is all new :)
Pam mentioned that all the readings would go into a folder where that will not be able to be accessed until they are approved. Then, they will be released all at once for everyone to read.
That's why you're getting the "invalid" message. The post is there, but it isn't ready for everyone to view yet.

Wow I can't wait to read them. :jumper: :jumper:
Thanks for all of your efforts and thanks to Theophilia who i believe was the one who had this great idea. (Correct me if I'm wrong). Hope all turns out well in her non-cyber life. Prayers going out to you Theophilia.
I will let you have my comments once I have had a chance to read them.

They are up and ready to read, Becky. Looking forward to seeing what you think of them. :)
The readings are located here (http://www.johnedwardtalk.org/showthread.php?t=11423). Everyone is invited to comment and participate in the discussion, even if you weren't involved with the readings.
I've turned off the need to moderate the posts first (meaning all posts will show up right away.)

If it isn't too late, I will gladly volunteer to be read. I could use some spiritual guidance right about now. :(
Blessings to All,

A question! Is it easier for beginners to do the three card cross thingie or the celtic cross? Also, I saw some beautiful decks online....is it better to stick with something like Ryder-Waite, though?

DianeI would agree that you should start reading for yourself immediately. But I would stay away from the celtic cross in the very beginning. The three card thingie is good, but I even started with one card at a time, asking questions like "What do I need to know today to accomplish my goals?" and letting the messages of that single card stay with me throughout the day. It didn't take long before I wanted "more, more, more!" and started doing 3 card and then 10 card spreads. One or 3 card readings is a good way to start in my opinion, but the most important thing is that you start doing readings for yourself right away.
It depends on personal preference and how adventerous you are, as to what deck you start with. The Ryder-Waite is the most written about, so you'll find more books, websites, people, etc. that speak to that system. That's why I chose it, and plan to add (not replace) more decks later. This is just my 2 cents, and if you feel more drawn to a certain deck, and you're willing to have a more limited range of resources available, then I say "go for it"!
Hi - I'm new and volunteering to be a querent also. Becky's readings and her replies were fascinating. I wasn't sure how this would work through email but it does. Please add me to the list, Pam, and thank you for giving us all the opportunity to share in this experience. I hope one day to be a reader as well.

you are agreeing to let us go into some things that may be of a personal nature. No truthful reading paints a picture of "pie in the sky" so if the reading is showing that you have room for improvement in certain areas, we'll be saying so! "
Perfect, Pam.....
Anyways, when you get to my age, I tell you.... WHO CARES WHO KNOWS WHAT????!!!!!! rofl
It would be either fodder for gossip, or an opportunity to learn something about myself. As long as I hear what I need to know, that's the way I look at it. Besides, no one would ever believe an angel like me could do anything so personal that it couldnt be revealed in a public forum! another rofl
Hmmmm Wonder how far down the list I am??
