today (1AM) i did a couple quick readings for myself about two relationships that i have in my life that ive been confused about. one that is more active and alive than i want it to be, a friendship. another that was active and has withered somewhat. i came up with a bunch of questions on the fly and privately noted... what i took them to mean. i think maybe if i do this enough i will have a better understanding of what questions work and why, as well as meanings of cards, but im not going to share exhaustive notes here.
the questions i asked (5) for the relationship that i am questioning continuing:
what brought us together? what keeps us together? what am i losing? what am i gaining? "future".
for the relationship that is older and has a bit more history i added two questions, and these were the (7) questions:
what brought us together, what kept us together, what broke us apart, what keeps us apart? what am i losing? what am i gaining? "future".
i started out my tarot journey with some simple stuff
1-card readings
simple 3-card reading (past, present, future)
then a more complex 10-card reading borrowed from a friend, "T", this was a celtic cross with some other weird shit going on to the right in a staff shape that she got from a book, which i also used.
then i did some research on other sets of questions but didn't really use any except another 3-card simple one: "situation", "obstacle", "advice".
but i am enjoying coming up with my own recipes very very much.
