Why Edister Is A Pain In My Butt



OK. So I am rapidly finding that understanding and working with the AdawnSpirit cards myself is one thing, explaining the interpretations so other people can understand and work with them is something else entirely. The AdawnSpirit Divination book is unlikely to be released earlier than the anticipated 4th February 2020, I have a lot of work to do yet.

For my own use I originally made very concise, abbreviated notes, the whole lot fit on four A4 sheets of paper with a couple extra sheets for the spreads. That was enough for me. I knew what they meant and they served their purpose. Unfortunately for me my single-minded editor, who is also my very determined little sister, is insisting on more detail.

Apparently if you expect other people to be able to use something you have designed and created you have to provide comprehensive instructions; and as the force that compelled their inception is also demanding they be shared then I'm going to have to buckle down and hammer out those comprehensive instructions - with example readings as Edister (AKA little sis/editor) feels is necessary.

I rather casually asked if, as she wears several literary hats, she could ghost write it for me and expand on the information I had already given. That suggestion earned me what Paddington Bear would describe as a "Hard Stare" and the very carefully articulated, "You would have to give me something TO expand on first."

So, yeah, I'm taking that as a slight "NO!"

It appears Ms Edister feels that I should be explaining not just what each card means but also why, and how I worked the interpretations out. This could be a longer job than I had at first anticipated. I'm beginning to think I should have felt compelled to take copious notes throughout the whole process.

Sincere apologies for the shortness of this update, I have a lot of work to do to hit that 4th February deadline. Here I go, back to the grindstone...
