Tarot Spreads

I came across this spread on the Tarot in a Teacup blog and thought it looked really fascinating. This is actually why I'm currently looking for a copy of her book Tarot Wisdom! The spread is done in the shape of an inverted pentagram. Picture with spread positions attached. 1 3 6 4 5 2 1. What have I lost? 2. What blocks me from returning? 3. What illusory chains hold me? 4. What reality holds me? 5. How can I free myself? 6. What will happen?

I cobbled this from an initial interview spread, adding another question that resonated with me. I have previously used this on my Centennial and Barbara Walker, and I also plan to use this on my Wild Unknown and Modern Spellcaster's. I will put these readings up on my Readings Journal thread and then post the links here later. I hope that you find it useful too. Enjoy! Edit: from Daniel's comment in another thread, I'm glad to finally find out where it is from. I only wrote it in my written Tarot journal, and I wasn't able to trace back its provenance until now. It seems like it is a spread created by FireRaven, which she acknowledged was inspired by the deck intervie…

So without further or do let’s jump into a Spread. SPREAD [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8] INDEX [1] Birthday

This is a spread that I designed for reflecting on the year that is soon about to end. Maybe someone else will find it useful. It is quite a large spread but I wanted something that would sum up this last year nicely. You lay out 13 cards: the first 12 cards are laid in a circle (like a clock) and the last card sits in the middle of the circle. I intended for it to be like the completion of a cycle, with something new that emerges like a small light in the middle of the unknown. 1. Who was I when this year started? 2. What did I strive to achieve this year? 3. What did I accomplish? 4. What got in my way? 5. What lessons did this year have in store for me? 6…

I thought I'd share a couple of the spreads I originally posted at AT over here! :) This is a simple night spread, for reflection in the evening or before bed. I often find I want a very simple reading before bed, and created this spread with that in mind. **2** 1***4 **3** Card 1: Represents us as we reflect on this night. Can be thought of as a significator. Card 2: Something you did well today. Card 3: Something to work on tomorrow. Card 4: Something to release. I actually was inspired by a prayer from The New Zealand Prayer Book to create this spread- it’s a prayer that’s often used at the vespers service at my local Unitarian Universalist church…

Here is a wonderful spread created by Chiriku[/member] and first shared by them at AT. This is one of my favorite spreads for winter, so I wanted to share it here and to work with it as a reading circle spread. I highly recommend you read Chiriku's original AT post- it is so poetic! All the spread info below is quoted from that original post: * * * The Gift of Winter * * * **A spread to be used at any time in relation to Winter: in the month or two before, to anticipate its coming; at the time of the Winter Solstice, to revel in its deepest and darkest hours; or in the winter months afterward, to celebrate the "here-and-now" of this awe-inspiring season in o…

Hi all, I just crafted this spread for examining how to live life more fully in 2018. Fears hold us back, but do we always know what we fear? Fear not (pun intended...), this spread will help :) Pull 1 card for each question - or more, if you feel confident in interpreting in a more story-like manner. 1. What unfounded fear do I have? 2. How can I best let go of that fear? 3. What will change in my life if I overcome the fear? 4. How can I live more fearlessly overall? 5. How can I help others overcome their fears?

Here is what the spread should look like --[1]-------[4]-- [2]-[3]--[5]-[6] AUTHOR'S NOTE: Just before you go to bed shuffle the deck and ask it what's the main theme of your dreams tonight. Then place the three cards underneath your bed frame on where you place your head. The purpose of this will hopefully the energies of these cards will feature in your dream(s). In the morning place the three cards back into the deck and shuffle the cards while asking the deck about a specific part of a dream that you remember. INDEX [1] Theme you will need to refer to the other two cards to figure out the theme of the dream(s) for example (Cups = Emotions, relationships, f…

Many past members on AT will remember this reading/spread. http://www.bellaonline.com/ArticlesP/art26918.asp The original article. Here is the spread by June Kaminski: __________________________________________________ __________ The Sacred Days of Yule Spread is great for helping you to embrace the sacredness of this festive season. This is an advanced spread for any level of reader to use during the Yule time from December 20th to 31st. This spread is unique because it is done over these twelve days. You need to find a quiet private space to progress through this spread, since a card is added and left on the wheel as each day passes. PRIMARY USES To help …

This is originally from Anja's Tarot website (which unfortunately went off-line in December of 2004). It is an excellent spread when one is facing a choice between two paths (so to speak). I just used this spread this morning for a friend and it provided a very good look at what was going on with the person relating to their two choices. (I've used this spread twice now and have added the optional 11th card both times - it has been helpful.) ...6.......11.......10 .....5..............9 .......4.........8 .........3....7 ............2 ............1 1 - Past or underlying basis of the matter 2 - Current Situation 3 - Path or Action "A" 4 - Internal Influence o…

Just came across this spread, recently posted by tarot blogger Oephebia, and it looks like a good one so thought I would share! Here is the link: https://oephebia.wordpress.com/2017/10/29/day-of-the-dead-spread/ 1 – Advice from my ancestors (here take it as what you need to know or to do to improve your life) 2 – What I need to banish, to let go, to remove from my life, what is no longer serving me. 3 – What I need to embrace, to welcome in my life, to attract to me. 4 – Ancestral traits I need to tap into. What qualities from my ancestors (immediate ancestors or from many generations ago, in other words, your tribe), I may want to use. 5 – What is holding me bac…

Hi guys! I created a spread last year, and for now, I'm the only one having used it. It would be nice if some of you could use it and tell me if it worked well! I called it the "Druidcraft Spread", because my spiritual practice is Druidcraft, a concept elaborated by Philip Carr-Gomm, the one that wrote the book Druidcraft in 2002, and also the Druidcraft Tarot in 2004. Simplicicly, Druidcraft is the practice of modern Druidry and Witchcraft/Wicca. I created the spread for deepening my spirituality by focusing on the three Celtic Realms (Druidry) and the five Directions/Elements (Witchcraft). This spread can be very simple, and majorly complex depending on how we loo…

It's my birthday in about a week so I wondered if any of you have any fun spreads I could try out? My Wild Unknown has a suggestion for a year ahead-spread with 13 cards so that's a candidate, but maybe you know of anything else :)
