It's Tarot Spread Tuesday!!
It's TAROT SPREAD TUESDAY....I meant to have a little round up ready for you today with links to some great spreads I've been discovering online but alas....life.....it has a way of throwing things into disarray!! So hopefully that will be my goal for next week. Instead today we will talk and think about the NO SPREAD...spread.
When I was very new to oracles and tarot cards I first discovered the No Spread spread idea in the book that came with the Froud's Faeries cards. MacBeth calls it a faery spread but I have since discovered lots of no spread spreads. Or I should say...ideas or ways to do a reading without a predetermined spread. At times when I work with them they are fabulous and at other times I miss the 'position" spreads...where each card represents a factor or a question. But I am rambling again...lets get to a NO SPREAD method.
Take the deck of cards shuffle them and cut them. etc. Pick out however many cards you wish to use for this reading. Put the rest of the deck to the side. Take the chosen cards and place them on the surface before you...in whatever manner you choose. Now before turning any cards over spend some time looking at what you have before you. Do any cards present themselves as representing something?...For example if you have a card sideways might it represent a block? Or if you have three cards in a row...might they represent a path etc.? Don't push this but if something represents itself to you....then go with it. Read the cards!!!
So there it is...today's spread...no spread at all!!! Give it a try. You will be amazed at the wealth of information that flows freely in a no spread reading! I'd love to hear how your no spread readings go...let me know!

It's Tarot Spread Tuesday: Mirror Mirror
It's another tarot spread Tuesday! Wow the weeks are going by FAST...today's tarot spread is a simple one I have been using with the Fairy Tale Tarot...it's called Mirror Mirror on the WallMirror Mirror on the Wall
Five cards.....one in the center and four, one on each corner around the card in the center.
Card One is the left hand upper corner, Card Two is the right hand upper corner, Card Three is the lower left corner, while card four is the lower right corner. Card five is in the center.
Card One: Is the thoughts of the situation.
Card Two: Is the feelings of the situation.
Card Three: Is what clouds the situation
Card Four: Is that which is real...the true essence of the situation.
Card Five: Is that which we wish to see. May be our false perspective or what we long to be.
Hope you try out Mirror Mirror on the Wall and let me know how it works for you!!

It's Tarot Spread Tuesday: The Haunted Path
I'm going to try a slightly different version of the Once Upon a Time Spread in celebration of Halloween.
The Haunted Path
Just as in the Once Upon a Time spread, put the Fool card to the side. You then shuffle the deck and select 5 cards. Add the Fool with the five cards....shuffle and then place them in a single row, left to right. The difference is in the number of cards used and the way the cards are read according to a meaning Any cards to the left of the Fool have already happened or something the seeker is aware of. Any cards to the right are yet to come or are things the seeker isn't aware of. In reading the cards you jump over or ignore the Fool card and read the meanings as follows...keep in mind whether they are to the left or right of the Fool.
1. Card One: Describes the path the seeker is on
2. Card Two: Decribes what haunts the path
3. Card Three: Describes what clears the path
4. Card Four: Describes an alternative path
5. Card Five: Gives Advice.
Depending on a particular reading...sometims all five cards will be to the right of the Fool...indicating what is yet to come or be known....or vice versa they could be all to the left....indicating that which has already passed....or any combination.

It's Tarot Spread Tuesday: Hello October
As I mentioned earlier, I'd like to focus on Tarot Spreads on Tuesdays. Some will be my own creations, some will be interesting ones I find, and sometimes I will focus on topics about spreads rather than an actual spread itself...so in some way the topic for Tuesday will be related to spreads.
For today we will look at a spread posted by Nirvie over at aeclectic forums. She called it Hello October but it is basically a monthly spread that can be used to examine the month that lies ahead. Since it is almost October first, I thought it would be a great one to share here. I think there are two good times in October to give it a try. October 1st or the full moon which this year is on Sunday October 4th.
It has seven cards with the topics as listed below.
1) Month Overview
2) Overview of Friendships this month
3) Overview of Relationships/LoveLife this month
4) Overview of Work/Academics this month
5) Positive Energies entering this month
6) Potential Obstacles of this month
7) Advice for the month
If you use it on the full moon I would suggest a circular layout, with card one is the middle and the rest of the cards around it...with the two at the top then clockwise around card one.
