I'm kind of interested- but what would you be using to study by?

I'm interested, not sure how reliable I'll be for people to get a hold of me, but I am interested.
I have my own deck, I've done a few readings, but I'm very very new.

I think context can help you understand what the cards are saying but isnt cold reading more about using lots of external clues and guesses to shape the reading and less about the cards?

Yep- she talks about responding to people's reactions to the cards and stuff.

you dont think their responses to the cards are valid information? (i still haven't gotten to that part of the book yet)
certainly you shouldnt be interpreting the cards soley in this way, but once you've interpreted and want to get them to look at the cards and understand the information, wouldn't that a. give you insight into their emotional state and thought processes and b. confirm your reading and or help you lead them to see what you see?
from what i understood, cold reading had more to do with leading the querant to give you answers you didn't have to make them believe you have more knowledge than you actually do.

I don't think there's a difference between what you described as a cold reading and what she is suggesting people do- lots of people don't know what the cards really mean, so responding to their reaction to a card like the death card is going to make the reading worse lots of the time.

the death card is a very bad example.
ill have to find the segment to really discuss this i guess.
however, i just picked up the book from a suggestion through someone else, and thought it would be a good base to start with. i have no qualms about throwing out rules that don't gel with me or don't work for me, and i wouldn't promote trying to trick people with the cards at all.

I think stuff that looks at the hero's journey would be useful, and I had a book that explained the numerology that describes the tarot so maybe I can find it again.
