@ctrlaltdog@chitter.xyz @monorail The benefits of self-readings are obvious, but the drawbacks are mainly the need for self-discipline while shuffling the deck to ensure you're not consciously aware of the cards' positions & orientations, & to interpret the cards with balanced rigidity & fluidity of meanings as appropriate for the tradition of draw & reading you're doing.
@ctrlaltdog@chitter.xyz @monorail Having someone else manage the reading is better if you lack that kind of confidence. It's better, no question, but not required.
