Tarot Spreads

This spread popped into my head while I was thinking about a reading I wanted to do. The Sprouted Seed Tarot Spread is for when you have a new idea, or perhaps a new project that you wish to get some insight on how to nourish it and help it grow. It is based on the look of a newly sprouted seed as it begins to grow. .........5 .............4 .....3 .........1 .........2 1) The Seed - What you need to know about the idea. 2) The Root - What will nourish the idea. 3) The First Leaf - The immediate future. 4) The Second Leaf - What is needed to keep the idea or project growing. 5) The Newest Bud - What will maintain the idea or project in the longer ter…

This was originally posted to the Aeclectic Tarot Tarot Spreads Forum by Miss_Apples. Unfortunately, the date posted no longer shows up, so I can't say when it went up. It seems like an excellent spread for when you feel a spirit may be hanging around you or a location.; From Miss_Apples' original post; "Here's a spread I made to try and get in touch with any spirit that may be surrounding you including spirit guides." The Spirit Spread --2-----3-- -----1----- --4-----5-- card #1 represents the spirit, a little info about who they are card # 2 represents why they are with you right now card # 3 represents what they want you to know card # 4 re…

This was a spread that was posted to A.T. quite a few years ago. I don't recall having seen Isthmus Nekoi posting in those last weeks, so I'm not sure that they even know about the shutdown. I used this spread for a friend's reading this morning and it worked great. I wrote that the original post said this was "a spread for material things like $, health and suchlike. It's in the shape of the pentacle, symbol of the material." I used it because my friend is a budding Wiccan, and it felt the shape was a good fit for him. Isthmus Nekoi, if you pop in here and happen to see this, I really appreciate how well this spread works for readings, and not just about material thin…

After reading this article (thanks CharlotteK :D ), I was struck with the inspiration for a new spread... Invite Your Shadow To Tea **********7(T) *****9(T)******8(T) 1(B)*****3(M)*****2(T) *****6(B)******5(B) **********4(B) 1. The Invited Shadow - this card can be self chosen or you can take from the base of the deck and let the cards decide. This card will tell you a bit about what you need to deal with. 2. The Querent - this card can also be self chosen or you can take from the top of the deck and let the cards decide. This card will show where you are right now. 3. The Lesson On The Table - what lesson does this shadow offer you? Take from the …

I thought it could be fun to do a Spreadapalooza thread. The idea is to start with a theme, topic, question etc, and everyone shares a spread, their favorite spread on that theme. Sound like fun? If this one's a hit we can do more :) So to start: what's your go-to spread for a daily reading?

3. Taken from the top of the deck The sunlit peak: Where you want to be. What you're trying to achieve. What to keep your sights on. 2. From the middle Throw me a rope: The way up/out. 1. From the base Rock bottom: You are here. The hole you want to climb out of. The wall you want to climb.

Aka: How To Dig A Hole Spread 1. Taken from the top of the deck Scratching the surface: What's on the surface. What you already know 2. From the middle Dig a little deeper: What you know but haven't or don't want to acknowledge 3. From the base Rock bottom: Shadow aspect. What you are unaware of

Hi everyone! I've done several readings for a friend using the Deviant Moon Tarot. They've been on a couple of different topics, but one card has now come up in 4 readings in some different positions. I'm looking for a reading that I might use to try to find out why the card is recurring. I was thinking I would pull the card in question as kind of a "significator", then do a reading built around it. Any suggestions?

As I'm going to have a trainee at work starting tomorrow, I was going to do a reading with this spread and remembered to post it here. This is to give some insight into the relationship between a trainer and a new trainee. It is designed for situations of 1-on-1 training and focuses primarily on the Trainer and how they should modify their approach for a given trainee. If a Trainee were to come to you for a reading, you could simply swap the Trainer/Trainee in the reading. 1..........3 ......5 2..........4 1) The Trainee's current situation/state of mind (as it applies to the training or job). 2) Obstacles for the Trainee 3) Something the Trainer brings t…

The following are two solstice spreads, summer and winter. Please note that instead of using the Sun card from the deck in use, you can place a orange/yellow stone, the Sun from another deck or any other symbol if you prefer. Summer Solstice Spread: ~~~~~1~~~~~ 4~~The Sun~~2 ~~~~~3~~~~~ Pull "The Sun" from the deck and place it face up in the center. 1.

"Quickies" are two card spreads for when you don't have a lot of time. Here are a few of mine: Gift/Challenge 1. What is the gift in this situation (relationship, etc.)? What is positive about it, what is the good in it? 2. What is the challenge in this situation (relationship, etc.)? What will I have to work on, overcome, or deal with? Now 'n Later 1. What do I need to pay attention to or do now, as soon as possible? 2. What can I put on the back burner until things have settled down (but still will need to deal with sometime in the near future)? Receive/Return 1. What would be beneficial for me to do or get involved in? What should I let in my life? 2. Wh…

I usually just pull one tarot card and one oracle card for my daily draws, but when I have time I like to use something like these: What Surrounds Me (cards are laid out in an "X" shape): 2 ~~~ 3 ~~ 1~~ 4 ~~~ 5 Card one represents me - where I am mentally, physically, emotionally, or spiritually. Cards 2 through 5 represent people, situations, things, etc. that will affect me in some way that day. Head, Heart and Hands Spread: 1. What do I need to know today? 2. What do I need to embrace today? 3. What do I need to do today? Please share your favorite daily spreads when you read for yourself!

There was a thread that I discovered too late on the other forum related to this, so I wanted to bring it back here. The CC spread is widely varied and many people have their own versions that they find most useful. What is yours?

Hi! So this is a spread I made last night that helped me out quite a lot, so I figured I'd take a chance and post it here in case anyone else would like to try it. I suppose some people might find the questions too vague, so feel free to alter them slightly as fit. :) This is just what worked for me and my Royo Dark Tarot Mini. 2............................5 ...............1............... ......3................4......

Autumn Season Spread (5) by Azarial Source: http://www.tarotforum.net/showthread.php?t=106507 As the days grow shorter, and colder it's a sign from mother earth that we need to do a bit of yardwork before our yards and gardens become victims to winter's cold wrath. As we work on our yards and gardens, it's also a reminder that we need to work on our lives as well. *****1*3***** *****4*2***** ******5****** 1. Composting can be a very valueable asset to a gardener. All of the things that we do not use, can be put together and with time they become a fertilizer to help other things grow.

This is a simple spread I created, the Goddess Wisdom spread. The cards are laid out linear, 1-2-3-4. Card 1: Intuition. What is your intuition telling you right now? Card 2: Nurturance. What is nurturing you right now, or what in your life needs to be nurtured? Card 3: Universe. How are the energies of the universe aligning around you now? Card 4: Goddess Wisdom. What wisdom from the Goddess guides you now? In working with this spread, I sometimes also choose a Significator or guide card, which I lay out above the row of four cards, to represent what I feel is my current energy or what I am seeking. I like to use my Goddess Tarot (the Kris Waldherr deck) …

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…

You: What qualities do you bring into the relationship? 2. Them: What qualities do they bring into the relationship? 3. Progress: How to progress with this relationship. 4.
