Tarot Spreads

I occasionally delve into business readings. Here is a new spread for that purpose that is intended to be used in the same way as electional astrology to explore the best time to start a venture. https://parsifalswheeldivination.com/2019/07/15/the-tale-of-two-arcs-business-dynamic-spread/

The discussion here about the Random Number Generators used in tarot software apps got me thinking how this might be done in an analog way using a board-game spinner. Here's the result. You can make your own spinner or buy one on-line. And if you're ever in Brattleboro, Vt, stop by Patty Newton's Silver Moon Adornments and see her big tarot-card roulette wheel. It's quite impressive. https://parsifalswheeldivination.com/2019/07/12/the-round-it-goes-decision-making-spread/

I've been studying with my RWS deck and haven't had much time for doing anything else until today. This morning, I had the strong urge to use my new Everyday Witch Tarot and after my daily draw I decided to do The Deck Interview Spread As a newbie, it's one of the longest I've done, but first time for everything! I thought I'd post my interview in case anyone wants to give it a try. @Nordica De Spell I'm lookin at you! Here's my spread, starting at the top and reading clockwise. ETA: This may be in the wrong area! Mods, help!

Hello, I’m a newbie here and a newbie all around with tarot. I’ve been studying the traditional meanings of the cards for a while and picked up my first deck today. As I’ve been getting acquainted with it, I decided to try an interview spread. The results have me completely confused, as I am still learning to apply the card meanings to specific questions. Any and all help is totally appreciated! Tell me about yourself, what are your most important characteristics? 4 of wands What are your strengths? The Emperor What are your limits? 2 of swords What are you here to teach me? 9 of cups How can I best learn and collaborate with you? The devi…

Here I'm having some fun with "hidden" cards as part of a not-so-simple "yes-or-no" decision-making spread. https://parsifalswheeldivination.com/2019/07/01/the-light-and-shadow-decision-making-spread/

Many of you know that I like to create intricate spreads with lots of detail that ideally still hang together in a logical way. Here is a problem-solving spread (at its heart a two-option scenario) that uses elemental temperaments in a novel way to point out the most advantageous solution. It consists of two three-card chains, a "quint" card for each chain, and four "background" cards that influence and modify the quint cards through Elemental Dignity. https://parsifalswheeldivination.com/2019/06/26/the-hot-and-cold-running-commentary-problem-solving-spread/

Hi I am a beginner and have s question about spreads, i like the horseshoe spread but have discovered that different people assign different meanings to each card position. Does this matter? Should I just go with my gut feeling? And how do you choose which spreads to use? Thanks!

Here is another simple (at least for me) decision-making spread that uses one of my favorite spread-design techniques: "facing" of a central focus card to help target the best course of action. Because I try to post something new every day in my blog, falling back on spread creation is an easy way out so I don't repeat myself (at least not too much). https://parsifalswheeldivination.com/2019/06/29/the-speed-bump-and-pothole-decision-making-spread/

PS! This is for entertainment only. There are no facts in tarot. In some cultures the word entertainment can be understood as "under attitude". Hi all 🙂 Inspired by a conversation with @Raggydoll I came up with this spread for further enlightenment . The reason I put some sample cards behind it - that I have pulled myself - is that since we regards ourselves as family, I share some of my findings with you. The reason that I don't interpret them, is that we all have different view on tarot and the facts that I present a style with make-up on - I don't want to feel all naked - when I allow you to copy my style, so to speak. He…

I set myself a challenge: create a small-ish spread (I'm not a fan of anything less than five cards) that takes advantage of Elemental Dignities and the quintessence to provide additional detail. I've found that it reads well. Here are a couple of links. https://parsifalswheeldivination.com/2019/06/19/an-elemental-dignity-short-form-decision-making-spread/ https://parsifalswheeldivination.com/2019/06/19/an-elemental-dignity-short-form-example-reading/

Curious topic! At least it is to me! I know that I dream sometimes and often it goes in phases (often with the lunar cycle, I know I've had a dream more often near a full moon). But I very rarely remember anything about them other than their overall vibe. E.g. I woke up at some point last night feeling 'shot through with adrenaline' and like I'd been scared. Around the full moon I woke up from a dream feeling warm, cosy and 'lighter than air'. But I don't remember anything that led up to that point. I'm looking for a tarot spread to help me understand these dreams when they come and help me try to interpret their messages, which is hard without remembering the dr…

Greetings! I'm wondering if anyone has a spread that will help shed light on the consequences of making a confession? Thank you.

Hello everyone For those of you in the U.S., Thanksgiving is coming up, and you may have to deal with relatives that you don't really get along with. This spread is to help things go a bit more smoothly. 1---2---3---4---5 1. The source of the conflict with this relative. 2. What you can do to relieve the tension. 3.

A way to decompress and de-stress when it's all over.

I see in my LWB for a deck a spread with a tarot card for each house and three overall cards in the center. So 15 cards. I know the zodiac houses and basic characteristics of the signs, but am not strong is astrology beyond that. Is this beyond my capabilities for a good reading?

This is a spread that I designed for deep personal exploration. It has the shape of a standard Celtic Cross, but the order and the positions are quite different. Card number 6 can be placed on top of number 5 (so it's crossing) or next to it. If you use reversed cards then any reversed cards would highlight areas that are of specific interest and that need extra attention (it might indicate blockages but it can also represent high-energy areas where lots of things are going on right now). 2 10 3 5/6 4 9 1 8 7 1: Blood (Fire) 2: Sweat (Earth) 3: Tears (Water) 4: Beliefs (Air) 5: Hopes 6: …

I am looking for a spread that will help me with the situation I am in right now. I will be moving out of my mom's house and into my grandparent's house, whom my mom does not like. I am doing this for financial reasons and health reasons. I would like a spread that will help me to determine the best way to tell my mom about it. Does anyone have any spreads that may help?

Hello, I thought I'd share a cool birthday spread I found online at NewAgeHipster.co. It's a nine-card spread that I have almost completed. I've been doing a card a day, but you could just as easily do all nine cards at once. Bookworm

This is more of an idea than an actual spread, but I thought I would share it in case anyone is interested. The intention is to do a chakra-check up where you lay out one or more cards to review the state of each chakra. I started by taking out the Animal Spirit deck since it has 7 trump cards that represent each of the chakras. I placed them in a row, ordered from the first to the seventh chakra (left to right, but you can also place them vertically, starting at the bottom and going up. I just did not have enough space to do that). I also added corresponding crystals to further enhance and tap into the separate energies. Below these I then drew and placed cards from …

It’s not really a spread, more of a method. But anyway, here it is! First off, try to figure your stalker card out. Meditate with it, freewrite based on it, read the LWB, check out how others have interpreted the same card, ask a friend, etc… When you’re sick of all that and you want more depth, then move on to the next step! Take that bloody irritating card and tell it what you want (I like to sob-scream “But what do you meeeeaaannnn?” at it, personally), then shuffle it back into your deck - FACE UP. Shuffle it in real good. Don’t peek while shuffling, though, you don’t want to see where the card is until you’re totally done with shuffling. When you’re throu…

This is a spread to help you sort things out for this upcoming season. 1---2---3 1. Keep - The things that are working well for you, and that you should keep moving forward with. 2. Trash - Things you need to throw out of your life and say "good riddance" to. 3. Donate - Things that you haven't been using (whether talents or material goods) that you can now use for the benefit of others.

Hi :-) This is a spread I have used a lot - especially when it comes to revealing the hidden agenda of people that I know. It's good to use so you know who you should trust or not. I will show the spread before I comment my own experiences with it. Here is the spread: 7 cards - use your own pattern, but read them from 1 to 7. I just pick 7 cards and read them one by one. Find the person you want to read about and think of him/her. Pick a card for every one of these positions: 1) Inspiration 2) Motives 3) Intention 4) Hidden agenda 5) Strong spots 6) Weak spots 7) Goal I did this spread for some friends and family. My best friend got the Ace o…
