Barleywine Posted June 21, 2019 Posted June 21, 2019 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/

This thread here also discusses the elemental dignities. You might find it interesting. I read for others and I like the shorter spreads. I can use them to pinpoint certain areas that larger spreads just take too long to get to the message!

I read for others and I like the shorter spreads. I can use them to pinpoint certain areas that larger spreads just take too long to get to the message! When I was doing public readings at a shop, I was only allowed 15-20 minutes per sitter, so I created a stripped-down version of the Celtic Cross that would fit. Normally I prefer the full version and take around 45-60 minutes to do justice to one. My method with most spreads is to lay out all of the cards face-up at once except the outcome card (it leaves a bit of remaining drama in the reading; I tell my sitters it's part of the "theater of tarot"), so I get a quick gestalt feel for the message. That allows me to jump right on the key points and let the rest go until later, if time permits.

I do read professionally and I have to use spreads for some things, it's easier to sell as a package. But if I get a choice, I'll do a 3 tarot + one oracle card reading, no positions. Did this version use the elementary dignities?
Lefty28 Posted June 21, 2019 Posted June 21, 2019 I have a 3 card with 2 hidden 2 advise from the cards and a nondescript Oracle that is my go too!

I use hidden cards in some spreads, usually with a method for deciding which of them to turn up as the outcome card, kind of like the old "Lady or the Tiger" story..
