Hello -- This is my first post here. 

Just started week 2 with the SKT, and agree this deck is special.  Above is my reading for the week. I feel very fortunate for the confluence of The Shining Dew and Holy Water. It makes my focus this week clear. And it is the week to work with the High Priestess, so everything comes together! Being forewarned about the 10 of orbs is causing me some confusing. But I will know what it meant by the end of the week. 

Glad to have found this place.

Welcome @xoe! That’s a lovely trio of cards for the week. 

I pulled the Holy Water card for the single card reading activity for week 2. It was interesting to see what symbolism jumped out at me and what my more ‘intuitive’ impressions were. 

I view the 10 of Orbs quite positively - it’s a successful accumulation of resources which can be shared. Perhaps you will experience or have something in abundance this week?

Now that I've done one week and see that the daily practices stay the same, instead of posting daily about those, this time I'm going to highlight new things for the week and come back at the end to post about how it's gone. 

 

This week's cards to consider are the Priestess and the Twos.

This is the first week where we see that the Golden Dawn derived astrology that's in the RWS and Thoth is shown on the minors, like it is on the Thoth. I really appreciate it about this deck. Although astrology was one of the systems that helped decide which card means what in these decks, when it's not shown on the cards, readers sometimes wonder where I got the idea that the 2 of Cups / Joined One is the first decan of Cancer, a decan ruled by Venus, for example. Nice that it appears at the top. Since Waite only included hints, like his moon on the 2 of Swords, most of the RWS inspired decks don't have it. I appreciate that it's here, and you can see some incorporated symbolism as well, like the ram of Aries on the 2 of Wands. All first decans of cardinal signs that start their seasons. We're at the beginning.

 

The art is true to Waite and Thoth in pretty equal measure in these. The 2 of Orbs art is Thothy, but the title is all her own. The Nocturne. In keeping with The Darkening for the Ace. I like her take on the suit. It's one of several things that make this deck have a unique point of view.

 

My draw for the upcoming week is The Reaper - Archangel of Glory - The Lovers

 

The Reaper card says "follow the light," and it leads to the sun-like halo of the King of Wands (Archangel)

End of Week 2... I did let some distractions go and focus more on work, and my work is in a field the Book of Maps associates with the Archangel of Glory. (I usually associate it with more than one suit, depending on whether we're coming up with ideas, summoning a lot of energy to meet deadlines, or marketing/focusing on the bottom line. But I can easily see why she chose this card.)  Sunday isn't over, but I haven't had anything come up in the past week that makes me think of The Lovers... It could just be advice to continue to make the choice and commitment to focus on what the Archangel represents.
