To Tarot card readers, spreads are our arrows for decks. Without either the bow or arrow none can work without the other.

This post will be used to collect different spreads from each person that does readings. You can post your personal spread or a well known spread.

In order to post your own spreads (the ones you found or the ones you made) it is best to follow this format:

Title of the spread:

Picture of the spread by a link.

And the order of each card meanings.

Optional, any notes that will improve them doing the spread.



I will post an example and real spread to help you all understand how to do this.

Twisting Path


........5
2...3....
..1...4..


1. The first Decision.
2. The first false path.
3. Second decision.
4. Second false path.
5. Your true destination.


Notes: This spread is used to help and understand your paths. The first decision follows your first false path; meaning they are connected. It can mean why the first decision isn't for them or it can mean why it isn't their main goal in life. The same follows for the second decision and path. The true destination is where the person being read too needs to do. This will be hard to explain.

Inner Light

....1
3.5.2.6.4
....7
....8
....9


1. You/querent.
2. Is querents heart.
3.&4. Arms of light, what your hands are.
5. Querent strength.
6. Querent weakness.
7. Querent's fears of doing.
8. Querent's joys.
9. Secrets.


Notes: Querent is just another word for the person being read too.
The arms, 3 and 4, are talking about their good side. It also takes some knowledge of what your left and right hand means. Number 3 is your left hand and number 4 is your right.

The secrets on number nine will give you a clue on what they keep hidden from others. Now I have tested this over and over with different people and it does work 8 out of 10. Always ask if it is all right to read the card before reading it since it is personal.

Created by me.
