EmpyreanKnight Posted January 15, 2018 Posted January 15, 2018 What's the most difficult reading you've ever performed? It can be because it took such a long time to conduct it, or because the spread itself is highly-complicated (like the OOTK), or maybe because you've already expended so much effort on it and you still can't interpret what the cards say. Or maybe because the emotional implications of the reading were so heavy, so ominous towards the querent, that you had a hard time finshing it or even just relaying to the other person exactly what the cards have said? In any case, did you finish it, or did you just give up altogether? If you did pull it off, did the reading eventually turn out to be accurate?
EmpyreanKnight Posted January 15, 2018 Author Posted January 15, 2018 In my case, it's a 50+ card Months of the Year Spread that was difficult only because it required a ton of shuffles and cuts, and because there were so many separate months to interpret, it was like I performed a dozen separate readings in one sitting. Midway through, instead of taking extensive notes, I just listed down the cards and tried to glean a general idea of what each month would bring. And even with that reprieve, by the end of that reading, I was so exhausted and famished that I just grabbed the first edible thing I can get my hands on and threw it in my maw. It's rare that I become that tired - it prolly only happened twice before in my entire life.

I'm working on familiarizing myself with the OOTK and without a doubt, its challenging me. I did have a sitter once who insisted that the reading was wrong. I felt bad as I read for her and tried to ever so kindly tell her what I seen even though every fiber of her being fought against it. It was a difficult and long reading and left me questioning for some time. Months later, I got news that the reading was accurate although I wish it had worked out better. :( The OOTK is a whole new challenge for me. I'll eventually get there... :)

Emilija Posted January 19, 2018 Posted January 19, 2018 I would say recently for a reading circle. I was able to meditate clearly, but the message didn't come through clearly. I.e., it was hard to put it into words. I did the best I could, but I felt that I came up short.

I didn't think it would quite reach that extent, and when I was in the thick of it I thought it was too late to back out now so I just soldiered on until I finished. I don't eat or drink anything when I read, but maybe the next time I use this spread again, I will. ;D
