I go by amc, and I read threads.

I was taught this form of divination as a child, but for a long time, I didn't take it seriously. I only picked it up again about a year ago, and I've been practicing in earnest for the past few months. Now, I'm doing my best to document everything I know before it fades away. I have a background in mathematics, which I believe gives me a unique perspective on the statistical side of this art.

Ravel is one of the last people I know who practices thread reading. She learned it from the same person I did, tough she was a much more applied student. Even if she currenlty keeps a distance from reading, she agreed to share her knowledge and insights with me for this site. While I may not always agree with her conclusions, our debates never fail to be enlightening.

For obvious reasons, I can't share their real names. Since they will rarely be mentioned, I did not bother to come up with fake names for them either. Here's a brief description of each:

• Reader G - The person that taught me and Ravel. They were a very traditional reader, and they were very strict about the rules of the art. She passed away in the 2010s.
• Uninterested Reader - Another of G's students. She never really took to the art. She is still alive, but she doesn't want to be involved in this project.
• Reader V - The oldest of G's students. She passed away in the late 2000s.
• Reader B - She likely learned from the same person as G, but I'm not sure. She passed away in the 2010s.
• Reader P - She learned from B. She passed away in the early 2020s.
