    The Hermit Spread by Glass Owl

    Take your deck to a quiet place, free of turmoil and imagine yourself walking thepath of the Hermit. Leisurely shuffle your deck, taking as much time as you need,until you feel that it is time to stop.

    Turn over your deck and fan it, looking for the Hermit. When you find him, pullthe Hermit out along with the cards on either side of him. These are the cards thathis lantern is casting its light upon. If the Hermit happens to be at one of the endsof the deck, view the cards as being in a circle and use the card at the oppositeend of the deck to flank his other side.

    1 - Left: What you hear as the Hermit,

    what the voices tell you in solitude

    2 - Middle:You, the Hermit, during a time

    of reflection and solitude

    3 - Right: What you receive as the Hermit,

    what counsels and comforts you in

    solitude

    The Statisticians Spread

    by eclaasse

    When statisticians try to understand

    a problem, one step is to collect

    descriptive data. Sometimes this

    will be done as a pilot study,

    sometimes through reading

    previous literature, and sometimes

    it's the specialist's bestguess.

    The two main descriptors of data used are ameasure of central tendency (usually the average)

    and a measure of spread (the variance, or standard

    deviation). From those two summaries one may

    continue the decision-making process.

    1 - The Average: If this situation were to play out over and over, where would the

    outcomes tend towards; what can we expect normalto be, this is

    perhaps the ideal outcome

    2 - The Spread: How much variability or deviation is within this problem; what

    influences the outcome to deviate from the average

    3 - The Decision: What steps should be taken; this may be an advice card, or

    contain any other pertinent information that assists in the decision-making

    process
