The Red Tent

I decided to commit myself to use one deck only for three months. I chose the Tarot de Marseilles.

For now, i have only one Marseilles deck - the Universal TdM. But i have the Hadar and the Fournier coming through the mail. The more i study the TdM, the more i want to learn. It’s a fascinating deck, and that’s why i’m using it during my Intensive Deck Study.

Here is my  pledge:

.

.

• From today (March 27th) until June 27th i’ll only read tarot using my Tarot de Marseilles. In this moment i have only one version of this deck (Universal TdM), but as i know other two are arriving, i’ll allow myself to be open in this aspect - i can use any Marseilles, but JUST Marseilles. No RWS, no Mythic, no nothing!

• I’ll use books related to Marseilles, and general tarot books, if needed. But it’ll also try to read the cards without relying on books too much.

• As for oracle decks, i’ll only use The Playing Card Oracles during the three months. It’s a deck that share some of the Marseilles characteristics, and will be a good oracle friend to it

• I will…really WILL…read for other people. I will, i will, i will! And i’ll not have a coronary just because something went wrong! Humph! I’m going to be brave!

• I’ll try to journal, though i don’t know very well how to start this. I have one…old notebook…in which i write down some of my tarot readings and my Playing Card Oracles studies. But i’ll have to find a new notebook and dedicate it to Marseilles only.

• I’ll try to improve my abilities using the Camoin Method now and then.

• All non-Marseilles decks that arrive will be handled with the purposes of checking quality and completeness. Then they will be put in my tarot drawer and forgotten until i have completed the ISD.

Wish me good luck! I know i’ll need it…
