Whisper Posted February 6, 2018 Posted February 6, 2018 There's probably a thread for this, here, already, but I would love it if you could share your best interview or meet a new deck Tarot deck and Oracle deck spreads with me. Thank you so much!
faerybraids Posted February 6, 2018 Posted February 6, 2018 Hmmmmmm, I haven't really done any proper interview spreads, myself... There is the Bijou Spread here that I had meant to try out and forgot to. ^^;; So far I've really just said hello and asked "How will we work together?" and gone from there. (◕‿◕❀)
Whisper Posted February 7, 2018 Author Posted February 7, 2018 I think I ended up using the Bijou Spread without realizing it in my new deck reading, today: Tarot of the Hidden Realm (Not my spread. Apologies for not knowing whence it comes). ******5******6****** **********4********* ******3******2****** **********1********* 1. Tell me about yourself. What is your most important characteristic? 2. What are your strengths as a deck? 3. What are your limits as a deck? 4. What do you bring to the table - what are you here to teach me? 5. How can I best learn from and collaborate with you? 6. What is the potential outcome of our relationship? 1. Knight of Cups This beautiful knight is telling me that The Tarot of the Hidden Realm values the experiences of the heart and soul more than anything else. He councils that if I am willing to take my time with it and stay in the present moment with whomever shows up, its denizens will "walk" with me. 2. Five of Cups It will tap into the emotions, mine and those of whomever I read for with this Tarot, encourage us to feel what we've been holding back and help us work through those emotions, move past them and experience the cleansing and healing they bring. 3. Six of Cups That it deals mostly with emotion. Like in this reading, it produced no fewer than four Cups! 4. Ace of Pentacles A very special gift. It will teach me not to despise small beginnings, to look for the good where it is hidden and recognize it no matter how awkward or silly the package in which goodness hides. Especially to see that there is in even the smallest thing the potential to achieve amazing things. 5. 4 of Cups By opening my eyes to what is before me and recognizing that our collaboration will be joyful. That I can turn to these inhabitants of the Hidden Realm for comfort. 6. XX Life Renewal (Normally, Judgement) Help me become what I am meant to be. Wonderful. Absolutely wonderful Tarot. I saw it the other day on AT and struck by the fact that these are the faces of the beings of this mystical world. The images have little else but symbols and these beautifully expressive faces and figures. Someone was put off by the fact that cards are like this, but when I saw the set at my local bookstore, I picked it up. I put it back down again, fearing that the cards would be too small for my taste - I who, usually, likes larger than average cards -, but it kept calling to me. I walked out of the store, only to go back and bring it home with me. So very glad I listened to my intuition... again. :D
Whisper Posted February 28, 2018 Author Posted February 28, 2018 Hunting around, I found the following "New Deck Spreads" at AT (gratitude to nani, smackalecki, Sufacer, Tor and Wisp Wings) : The New Deck Jewel Spread **1** 2*7*3 4***5 **6** 1. The energy : a description of the energy, the essence of the deck. 2. The reason : Why has the deck come to me now (or why do I feel the pull to work with this deck now). 3. The teachings : What is the deck here to teach me and help me explore ? 4. The effort : What does the deck ask of me in order to get the most out of our relationship ? 5. The limitations : What are the areas that are NOT the deck's expertise ? For what subject or aspects of exploration should I use another deck ? 6. The gift : What gift could I receive or discover out of my working with the deck ? 7. The whisper : a message from the deck with guidance for the present time. The Surfacer's New Deck Spread 6-8-7 -4-5- --1-- -3-2- 1) point of connection - why this deck now? 2) what the deck brings to this partnership; its special attributes 3) what you bring to the partnership; your special attributes 4) what you can accomplish with the deck, how you can use it 5) what you can learn from the deck 6) a relevant facet of your personality 7) a relevant facet of the deck's personality 8) how your personalities mesh New and Dirty Quick Interview Spread 1...2...3 1: What is your personality like? 2: What are you here to teach me? 3: What is the outcome of our relationship? From Tor **1****2****3** 1. What will you give me? 2. What do you want in return? 3. What kind of relationship should we have? From Wisp Wings *****2***** *****3***4* *****1***** Note nothing is laid to the left, as often it is for position used for the Past/"What is leaving". With a new deck there is no past with it. Note in the following, the statements and questions are worded as such to show specific intent of how you plan to approach a partnership with the deck. The Four Questions: The Bottom Line.... 1. What do you want me to know about you? (Base, The Foundation of Understanding) From this Foundation we reach high..... 2. What most will you teach me? (Height of Learning) Knowledge, even guidance is nothing complete without the heart added.... 3. What will our relationship be like? (Core, The Heart) Collaborating.... 4. What do I need to do to help in aiding, with your help in advancing my spiritual development? (Propelling Future Growth)
Whisper Posted March 18, 2018 Author Posted March 18, 2018 Sacred Cave Spread There are times when we need to retreat from our hectic schedules and find a safe place deep inside ourselves where we can curl up and be nurtured. Sacred Cave gives us such a place and forges a strong bond between ourselves and our cave-dwelling ancestors, who left their red hand-prints as legacies on the walls. Cave images hold rich significance for us, reminding us of safety, community, and the strong magick made by priestesses who danced and sang there. Caves are the wombs of Mother Earth. Any tune you need to find the arms of the Mother wrapped around you, you can play Sacred Cave. The Tarot will show you how to give yourself the nurturing you need. Shuffle the cards face down and choose six cards at random. Arrange them in the pattern shown to form your own Sacred Cave. Although ail the cards in your Cave are valuable allies, card 4 deserves special attention It will help you to feel safe and protected. Card 1: Where I am now Card 2: Empowers me Card 3: Keeps me company Card 4: Shelters me Card 5: What I seek here Card 6: What I feel the need to create (Apologies. I don't quite remember where I got this from).
Bookworm Posted April 10, 2018 Posted April 10, 2018 I'm adding the deck spread I made up. I hope it's useful to someone here. I wanted some advice about doing a reading with a deck I felt a little nervous about. I could have used a new deck spread, but I don’t really like deck spreads because, to me, a deck is not “alive.” It doesn’t want me to know anything in particular, etc. So this is what I came up with: Spread for how to read with a new or not recently used or problematic deck: 5 3 1 4 2 1. My attitude towards the deck 2. Do this before a reading 3. When reading with this deck, do this less 4. When reading with this deck, do this more 5. How to put it all together

Remove the Wheel of Fortune from the deck and place it before you face up. Shuffle the rest of the deck, with your mind on the problem. Spread the cards in a fan, face down. With your left hand, draw seven cards at random. Put them face down on top of the Wheel. Set the remaining deck aside. Turn the Wheel of Fortune face down like the other seven cards. Shuffle these eight cards until you no longer know where the Wheel is. Deal the eight cards in a square consisting of four positions, so that there are two cards in each position: Top Left: The 1st position (cards 1 & 5) signifies – YES. Top Right: The 2nd position (cards 2 & 6) signifies – SOON. Bottom Left: The 3rd position (cards 3 & 7) signifies – DELAY. Bottom Right: The 4th position (cards 4 & 8) signifies – NO.
