Ok... I guess my dyslexia is too strong to overcome when reading about the Harrowings and the points.
Do I have this right?
Deal out a reading (9 cards) and what suits match the current adventure the party gets that number of points to use to do their special things.
Then do I deal out a separate card to each player to see who gets THE Chosen bonuses?
Do I pull out the cards that match the Choosing so each player gets a bonus sometime during the adventure?
Or is it just during the reading?
Please help this confused guy out...

The best I can help is that the choosing happens first, using the cards of the suit named in the adventure, and each PC gets a bonus against an NPC depending on what their card is. The main reading, using the whole deck, is a way of either foreshadowing the adventure or guiding a derailed game. As for the points I'm abit in the dark myself, as I don't have my books on hand. The sidebars will prob be your best friends during the harrows.

I'll use the Edge of Anarchy Harrowing (Keys) as an example
1) The Choosing - Take the 9 Keys cards, shuffle them and have each player choose one. Make a note of which one each character picked so that you know which encounter they get a +2 bonus to dex rolls for. So everyone will get a Choosing bonus at some point (unless they skip the relevant encounter).
2) The Harrowing - Perform the nine-card reading as described in PF7/the Harrow Deck rule booklet. This is pure flavour, use it to subtly foreshadow the plot.
3) Harrow points - count up the number of Keys cards in the spread and ADD ONE, this is the number of harrow points each character gets (effectively they automatically get one point for the card they picked in the choosing). When I ran EoA there were two Keys cards in the nine-card spread, so the players got three Harrow Points each, I had a printed handout for them to put with their character sheets, so they remembered they had the Harrow Points and what they could do with them, so I just scribbled out some 3-tickbox tracks on it for them to use.
Hope that helps :).
