According to Richmond, in order to do a reading
for a client he would arrange the cards according to the Natural
Order book (see The Solar Book).
Then, the client would shuffle the deck any number of times
for exactly 1 minute.
After that, the client would cut the cards 3 times within
another 1-minute period. Then Richmond would quadrate
the cards and lay them out in the prescribed manner.
I have performed these card layouts and have found them to
be very useful. Over time I developed software to simulate
the process described here and have tested those results.
There is no way to measure the accuracy of such a tool except
through personal experimentation, and for myself those results
have proved to be useful.
Please Note! Richmond was clear in stating that a person
should perform only one such reading per day. Mental
force is diminished in the process of performing this shuffle
such that performing it again would inevitably limit the results.
In line with this, the reader should take care and apply the
necessary mental force in using this tool in order to obtain
a useful reading.
This Tool simulates the shuffling of the deck based on a
statistical model developed through manually performing such
shuffles and counting the cards per group interspersed into
each half of the deck. There are a number of factors
that have been embedded in the logic of the code that make
it useful for doing a personal reading.
- Before you start, time yourself by shuffling a deck of
cards for a 1 minute period. Use the same amount of
shuffles for the reading
- Start the stopwatch and visualize yourself shuffling the
deck. Click 'Shuffle' button at the appropriate visualized
time.
- At the one minute mark 'Cut the Deck' immediately, followed
by 2 more times at 20 second intervals each.
- After the last cut, click the 'Quadrate' button to display
the layout for the reading.
- Notice the house
where your sun
card, moon
card and rising
card resides and use that information in order to derive
your reading.
