Connection Still There!

I actually got brave enough to go back to studying the cards today.  I'd been avoiding it, worried about the connection, mostly, but also worried about doing it in a new room.

The new room was, to say the least, difficult.  It's colder than I'd like, even with the fire going, and not having a desk upon which to write and draw is a pain.  I didn't like leaning down to the coffee table because it meant putting my notebook on my velvet spread cloth and chancing crushing it.  Holding the notebook in my lap while I tried to hold the other book open didn't work too well either, though.  I'll have to see if I can get used to it.

On the much brighter side, I still have a DEFINITE connection to the cards.  I got a very clear feeling from them that it was good and right that I start working with them again, and interpreting the card (the Five of Cups) came fairly easily.  Also, seeing examples in my own life and in the lives of those close to me seemed easier than it was when I last tried.  That could all be a connection to this particular card, but I don't think so.

I'm actually wondering if the long break didn't do good.  Now that I've gotten over my worries, I feel a renewed sense of desire to study the cards.  It's certainly something to consider if I ever feel stuck or mired down in that study.

Connections

After almost two months of having to hide the cards (from potential house buyers) I've taken them out again.  I wonder if my connection to them is still there, or, if it isn't, if it will come back quickly, if at all.  I hope so.  The next week or two should tell.

I've moved them into a different room.  Previously, I was keeping and using them in the study, where I go almost every day.  I've now set them up in the formal living room, which is also my meditation room and DH and my ritual room.  (Can you tell we don't often use it for its intended purpose?) Will this affect my connection?  Will it help or hinder regaining it?  This, too, time will tell.

I hope I won't have to put them up out of sight any time soon.
