    Kelly-Ann recently posted this on Youtube: These are just my notes, but be sure to check out her video for a more in depth explanation of each position. 1 2 3 4 5 6 1. How to work safely and effectively with your shadow at the moment? This card can represent a warning or a gentle advice. It can bring up areas of fear and reluctance in your life. It could be things that you already might be aware of but that you could use some reminding of, or some clarification on. 2. What's cooking. The current hot-button issues and how to deal with them. It talks about which themes, issues, memories and relationships that might be hot-button …

    I'm one to think that The Tower has some powerful lessons, if you're willing to face it. It's to be respected, but not feared. Here's a spread to help see the light in the chaos. 1. What barriers did you build up to protect yourself? 2. How did those barriers block you in? 3. What did you long for from the top of your tower? 4. What destroyed your personal Tower? 5. How will this free you? 6. How will this leave you vulnerable? 7. What unshakable foundations can you rely on when all else is lost? 8. What should you carry away as you move forward from this experience? Hopefully this spread can help you shake off the dust and move forward, proudly still alive!

    Another spread made a while ago! Take Death out of your deck and sit with it for a moment. Gaze at the card and contemplate what Death means to you. Think about your experiences, or lack thereof, with Death so far. Write a bit about this. When you're ready, place Death back in your deck FACE UP. Shuffle it in, nice and thorough. Shuffle 13 times to honor Death. Then, seek Death out. Dig through your deck until you find it - the deeper you have to dig, the deeper his transformation is within your Soul. When you find Death, take it and the surrounding 2 cards out. The one on top is Charon's Obul, your payment to The Ferryman. Have you paid your dues? If you got …

    I described this spread on the old AT forum, but since I think we have new people here who might not have seen it, I'll share it again. I begin by laying out seven cards. They can be two cards for past, three for the present, two for the future. Or any variation thereof, using three cards in whatever position you want the most information.You read those seven cards, but then if there's a card in any position that you'd like more information on, you draw another card (or more) and branch off that card in another direction. You can keep drawing cards along that same line but only till there are 7 cards in that direction----meaning six more cards after the one in question…

    this is inspired by the line from my old Halloween spread 11. how as a ghost you could still be earthbound,(death) and over the years , the feedback was pretty accurate to how the querents could see themselves as earth bound ,, the topic was , yes I could stay earthbound for revenge,, or to watch over their loved ones.. course you could watch over the loves ones from the light but it is rare to be able to do more from there as you sort of agreed to let the living live their lives when you cross over. so using this as a stepping stone the idea is well you are a ghost and you got some lessons to learn ehee. in this story , you are imaging yourself as ghost . …

    Hello, everyone I've always been an awkward person. I don't have the greatest social skills, I have "unusual" interests (like Tarot!), and I've always been considered "different". But to quote Sailor Moon, "I prefer to be called unique". So here's a spread to celebrate and embrace your uniqueness. 1---2---3 1. What makes you unique. 2. Why this is an asset. 3. How to live your truth as the cool, unique person you are!

    For Hunter’s Moon 2018 I modeled this spread on a 5-point deer antler with pedicle (6) for the 5 degrees that this 2018 Hunter’s Moon will swing (south) from the Earth’s orbital plane. When I think of hunting, I think of deer hunting so that is why I thought of the antler and when I researched the Hunter's Moon a bit, I learned about the 5 degrees swing. I hope you all enjoy this spread! ------------1 ------2----- 3----------- ---------4- -----5---- 6--------- 1. What are you hunting for? 2. How will this nourish you? 3. What will you need to consider during the hunt? 4. What obstacles might you face during the hunt? 5. How will you keep up your men…

    Things to Do in the Belly of the Whale By Dan Albergotti Measure the walls. Count the ribs. Notch the long days. Look up for blue sky through the spout. Make small fires with the broken hulls of fishing boats. Practice smoke signals. Call old friends, and listen for echoes of distant voices. Organize your calendar. Dream of the beach. Look each way for the dim glow of light. Work on your reports. Review each of your life’s ten million choices. Endure moments of self-loathing. Find the evidence of those before you. Destroy it. Try to be very quiet, and listen for the sound of gears and moving water. Listen for the sound of your heart. Be thankful that you …

    Posting at the suggestion of @Trogon. I do apologise in advance for the bad language. If it's unacceptably offensive I understand if this post needs to be removed! Personally I do think in this case it's actually rather fitting and appropriate to the spread subject, but I'm quite a sweary person and don't offend easily so perhaps I am not the best judge [emoji23] Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

    Looking for a simplified alternative to ArwenNightstar's splendid Cinderella’s Victim Spread for a Circle of Stones reading exchange back in now defunct AT, I came up with this one. Disney's Cinderella movies are not exactly my favorite versions of the tale by any stretch, but you can't get any simpler without betraying the story. I tried to match that, and here's the result.

    I learned tarot from an older family member, and she would only teach me the one spread; the extended celtic cross. This, apparently, is the best one and so forth. But sometimes, a simpler spread would be okay, perhaps? So what spreads do you use? I'd very much like to learn some new ones! And when you do different spreads, do you tell the deck when shuffling which spread you are using?

    Hi everyone, I've been on Tarotsphere lately, but I was on Aeclectic for a few years before that. I've just posted a new spread that I wrote on Tarotsphere, and I was hoping I could get some feedback from you as well. Please let me know what you think. ** The Metronome and the Pendulum are both spreads that look back, to provide details and clarity to events and time periods already past. These periods might have been confusing at the time, or else there was simply no opportunity for reflection, and all you could do then was react. Now, having moved on, you have the knowledge and hindsight to examine these events. The Metronome and the Pendulum are effectivel…
