Tarot Spreads

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?

This is a spread for when you're feeling a bit unloved. -----6---------7----- ---------------------- --4-------8-------5-- ---------------------- -----2---------3----- ---------------------- …

Since I just posted Worts & Cunning's Samhain spread, I thought I would also share her beautiful Beltane spread for those approaching the other thinning veil in the Southern Hemisphere! Fire + Fields: A Beltane Tarot Spread 8 7 6 3 5 4 2 1 1. THE SLUMBERING SELF. The unconscious murmuring that guides our bright year adventures. What part of you remains dreaming from Samhain and the dark part of the year? 2. THE SEEDLING. Nurtured since the Spring Equinox, the seedlings have grown into young plants. What has been growing in your life and now is ready for the maturity of summer? 3. THE WOOD. That whi…

AUTHORS NOTE Now today I've decided to share this spread on a Moon phase that the Southern Hemisphere will experience on the 25th of January. This reading that is providing below to show how this spread works is personal. On the 24th of January around 2:15pm I just gotten off from work and decided to meet up with my sisters at the local OP shop. I was on the walk path I looked both ways twice to ensure that there wasn't any cars coming as this time of year it's particularly busy where I live. I looked both ways so there was no cars coming then I gotten off the walk path and started crossing. Then when I lease expected it a white car come around the corner and speedi…

I am using a spread that is like extension of the diamond spread I used before, 2 cards go in each direction. so, it goes like this ----x6-----x7------x8 --------x---x----x ---x5--x---x—--x--x 1 --------x---x----x ---x4------x3-------x2 0.xxx In sweat lodge where I go into it here, east is 1, south is 3, 5 is west, and 7 is north So, I associated seasons with the direction, 1 is spring, 3 is summer 5 is fall and 7 is winter Following it up further, 1 is fire/wand 3 is summer/water 5 is pentacle/physical, 7 is swords, mental This is bit different then looking at the top line as spiritual, mental, emotional, and physical. The right being fire, masculine…

I came across this Full Moon Spread by the ITF. I really like this one so wanted to share here. Usually I tend to work with my Spirit de la Lune oracle for the Full Moon, which has a spread for each full moon throughout the year in the accompanying book. But I like this spread that can be used at any full moon. 5 cards, laid out in a circle. Picture is attached. Card 1: What do I need to release from my life? Card 2: Guidance to help achieve this Card 3: What do I need to embrace to empower me Card 4: How can I enable my transformation Card 5: What can I achieve/manifest with this energy?

Is there any sort of spread or reading you would perform on a full moon?

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 :)

This is a spread I use quite often both for myself and others. It can be used for various specific questions or just a general sense which is probably why I have never come up with a name. It is a larger spread at eight cards which is odd because I am three person (3 cards or sets of 3). I hope this spread works for people here as well as it has worked for me over the years. Past (upper left): Represents the past Present (upper right): Represents the present Middle Row: Three advice cards Outcome (bottom middle): Where you will be after heeding (or not) the advice cards. What are you trying to achieve (Bottom row to the right …

Hi everyone, Usually I practice reading the cards by doing one for myself about once a month. I like the reading because it's only since recently that I've been able to 'read' them intuitively. I've been able to give myself a good reading but I've run out of questions now. I'm not really interested in how a visit from my friends will go, I'm 100% sure it will be fine. And I don't have enough going on in my personal life to do a daily card. I'm usually just home alone. Does anyone have some tips on how to practice reading the cards without a querent and question? Or maybe I should ask the cards? 😆 Or maybe somebody should tell me to jump …

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…

Sharing some of my favorite bookmarked spreads. https://www.tarotforum.net/threads/glass-owls-spreads.153391/ I didn't create these but GlassOwl posted them on AT back in the day. I especially love the 2 & 3 card spreads. Great for learning new decks. My fave spread for self-reading is the quick & dirty "Mary Poppins Spread".

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) …

Grandmother Moon Spread ~~~2~~~ 1~~5~~3 ~~~4~~~ 1. Waxing Moon: What will be growing stronger. 2. Full Moon: A ripe opportunity. 3. Waning Moon: What will be fading. 4. New Moon: Where detachment/release is needed. 5. Blue Moon: A unique experience that brings insight.

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…

The number of unique permutations of a Gypsy spread is thought to be around 1.3048 x 10^31. That is a big number. It is larger than the estimated number of stars in the observable universe. If each permutation was represented by a hydrogen atom, the ball of permutations would be so big that it would extend beyond our solar system. In terms of time, if you were able to draw a spread every second, it would take you longer than the life of the universe to-date to cover every permutation. The number is so big that even if you estimate that there have been 2 billion decks printed (an over estimate). If you then estimate that every deck managed to pull 5…

It's the perfect time of year for these seasonal spreads. I thought to gather them all in one place in the Spreads area if they are helpful for anyone in future.

Please link to the source and / or credit the creator if you post them here 🙂 🎃 Halloween Spreads 🎃 - Haunted House Spread by Metafizzypop The layout of cards is supposed to be shaped like a house. --------7-------- ----5-------6----- …

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 . …

actually this spread used to be called Halloween reading eheh. I actually couldn't find this spread no longer, or the reading itself on atf forum archives (really did a lot of pruning ) lucky I still had the original in a word document from when I first made it up. here is the original 1. how you are quaisimodo 2. what you want as dracula 3. the wolfman within you 4. the curse of the mummy upon you 5 how ygor converts. 6. the frankenstien monster tragic desires 7. how dr hyde is trying to be released 8. how to hide as the invisible man 9. how to get away from the zombies 10. how to face the devil 11. how as a ghost you could sti…

I fell in love with this spread I came across from Alexis J. Cunningfolk of Worts & Cunning Apothecary. (I love her spreads and her blog in general!) This spread is just so beautiful and really calls to the sacred aspects of Samhain. I love her explanation of it too: The third and final harvest festival of the year, Samhain is the end of the bright half of the year – the roots to Beltane’s flowering branches. The part of our selves that has been slumbering since Beltane, awaken to the call of night, as we join the Spirits, Ancient Ones, Ancestors, Wild God/desses, and their horde as they clamber noisily throughout the land, welcoming in the new year. Our S…

Hi, guys! I made a spread for myself tonight and figured I would share it here. Anyone is free to use it / adapt as they wish! Dealing with and healing from trauma: 1 - What do I need to in order to heal from this pain? 2 What can help me in this healing process? 3. What can hurt me in this healing process? 4. What is my goal? 5. What is the outcome? And here's my spread reading, as the example: 1 - What do I need to in order to heal from this pain? The World: You need to as always, get out of your own head and see your place in the bigger picture; remember that you never know where these paths will take …
