After reading this article (thanks CharlotteK :D ), I was struck with the inspiration for a new spread...

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 …

Its the lunar eclipse today and I was inspired to create my own small spread for it. I thought others might find it useful so am sharing it here in the Spreads area as well as in the Lunar Group Reading thread so people can find it more easily. I used an image of the eclipse as my inspiration here. I realised that it could be easily adapted for a solar eclipse too so I've included that too. Lunar Eclipse Spread -1-2-3- 1. The Sun - A source of light in my life at this time 2. The Earth - What is in the light right now that can be taken forward in my life? 3. The Moon - What is in the shadow right now that c…

Have the person you are reading for focus intently on a very specific goal/desire that they'd like to manifest, while shuffling. I. What you must master to achieve your goal/desire. II. What you must release to reach it. III. The energy you need to align with in order to attain it. IV. How the universe is helping you. V. When you will achieve this goal/desire. I, II, & III are laid linearly across the top of the spread, IV is laid vertically under II, V is crossed horizontally over IV.

Hey you guys, I wanted to share a spread with you guys that I've found to be so helpful for navigating a break up called The Heartbreak Spread. Here's how the cards are laid out: Factors: What contributed to the breakup or heartache? Lessons to Learn: What can I learn from this experience? Healing: How can I heal and move forward? Future: What does the future hold for my love life or personal growth? Does anyone have other Heartbreak spreads they could recommend? I'm eager to try some new ones -TarotGirl

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 …

One Spread To Address All Of Your Spirit Guides (6) by KafkasGhost Source: http://www.tarotforum.net/showthread.php?t=131097 1.. How many spirit guides do I currently have?

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

I came across the following Everyday Spreads in a book entitled The Tarot Bible by Sarah Barlett. (Bartlett, Sarah. The Tarot Bible: the Definitive Guide to the Cards and Spreads. Sterling, 2006). Thought I would post them here, under the fair usage clause. (They're big so we can read them properly). Might be fun to try. :)

When reading tarot, and trying various spreads, I find one question, one card works for me. I may draw up to five cards, but do one question for each. Example: What should I know this month? I pull a card and set it down, reshuffle and ask What Further Clarification or What Area of my Life will this impact? I can do this for up to five questions, but usually three does it to hone in on what I am seeking, sometimes just two. Just wondering if I am the only one who ever does or if others do. I know we all work differently and get our info the way that best works for us. I am been using this for about 8 years now and it just works for me (gotten…

I did a presentation to the Capital Tarot Society yesterday, Exploring Old Spreads, based on the book, Untold Tarot: The Lost Art of Reading Ancient Tarot by Caitlin Matthews. The presentation is attached. There is more good info in the book, so get it if you’re interested! I also geeked out on the historical decks she used to illustrate the book. After playing around with them for a little bit, I think my favorite spread is the Pages Have News for You, and maybe the Fountain, but I haven’t really tried that out yet. Which ones do you think you’ll try? Exploring Old Spreads 9-9-23.pdf

I designed this spread with my dear friend Nelly. This is the spread that gives me the most leverage in a reading about conflict between two people. The readings and the dyads make it complex, but the leverage is incredible.

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…

When looking at season and sign, how do you interpret when the card is the same for the season and sign?

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…

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…

This is a spread I had come up with a few years ago when I wanted to combine the 3-card "Mind - Body - Spirit" with the 3-card "Past - Present - Future" spreads. It gives a way for you to look at how things have changed for you, and where you're going. There are a lot of interactions between cards in this spread and, at the end, I've pointed out a few to consider. I did use this a couple of days ago, that is what brought it to mind. It worked very well and seemed to give my friend some good insight. ........Past - Present - Future Mind....1.........4........7 Body....2........5.........8 Spirit...3.........6........9 1 - Past states of mind or influences on the p…

I came across a great Eclipse Tarot Spread, through the wonderful Worts+Cunning site. So for anyone who's looking to work with the cards today on Eclipse day I thought this could be a great spread to work with! This is a linear 3-card spread, laid out 1-2-3. The below is all copied and pasted from the Worts+Cunning site linked above. I've just copied and pasted the basics here but there's more details and suggestions on the site. The Eclipse Season Tarot Spread The spread is only three cards: a Sun, a Moon, and a Shadow card. You for how you choose your Sun and Moon cards. You can either choose them based off of your Sun sign and Moon sign and the astrological …

Hiya, I’ve become interested in doing my own personal spirit guide readings lately (more of a meet & greet tbh). I’ve played around with a few spreads I’ve found online, but have had a lot of trouble connecting to the cards. much of what I’ve found regarding contacting guides deals in dream work or signs- my wheelhouse is tarot so I’d like to facilitate it there, ideally. I’m specifically interested in more one on one contact/conversation- less seeking guidance & more getting to know who I’m working with. I’m seeing like, 11 common guides? I’m not ready for all of that, I’d just like to focus on a couple to start. …
