DAILY RESIDUE: A Cartomancy Journal
Tea’s Journey Spread
Posted on Tuesday, June 02, 2009 at 01:03 am
I’ve been wanting to share this spread for a while now, but I had wanted to test it out with the Lenormand first to see how well it worked with cards other than the Tarot. I was not disappointed! I originally created this spread many years ago for use with the Tarot, but I’m happy to say that it works wonderfully with the Lenormand too.
It’s personally one my favorite layouts to use, especially when I need to dig deep down into the heart of the matter. A fair warning now for the spread’s bluntness though- I’ve found that I’m always being slapped upside the head by the messages it can deliver. I call it the Journey spread, because it details the “journey” that one is on, whether about love, work, family, or even a specific issue. Here’s the basic gist of how the spread will be laid out:
It’s a multi-layered layout, using 9 cards total with various different ways to read them. And now, onto a breakdown of what the positions mean and how they can be read, etc.
The Daily Approach with Tarot
Posted on Wednesday, May 20, 2009 at 02:08 am
Jalyn commented on one of my Tarot daily draws a while back, asking about how I usually approach my daily readings so I thought I’d talk about it a little here.
I love doing daily draws whenever time allows me to do so, because it always helps me connect with the cards in new and different ways even after so many years. Like many others, I admit that it used to be a hit or miss thing back when I first started doing them. Sometimes they were immediately obvious while other times I couldn’t make heads or tails out of them. But it was a learning process and I eventually realized that I was approaching it all wrong.
The thing is, daily draws (more so than general readings) are quite personal in how it applies to you. Some people see them as a general theme going on in their lives at the time, some as specific events that play out during the day, while others see the cards as a larger message they need to pay attention to at that point in time. At the end of the day, though, it’s all about figuring out what works for you and then connecting with your cards that way. Or some like to call it “training your cards” to deliver what you ask. :)
Below are just some of the ways and habits I’ve picked up along the years as to what I like to do for my Tarot daily readings, as well as a bit of an explanation on the spreads I like to use.
Spread: The Career Plant
Posted on Sunday, March 08, 2009 at 12:16 pm
This was a spread I created a couple of years back when I was doing a reading for a client who wanted to know more about his current job, where it was going to take him, the potential growth and whether this was a suitable career path for him in the long run. It ended up working out so well that I’ve used it over and over since, with really accurate and insightful results. I posted it on AT before but I thought I’d share here too. It was created for Tarot usage, but as with most spreads, I think it should work well with other types of cards too. If you ever give it a run, let me know how it goes!
I’ve named it The Career Plant, because it just fits. The spread uses 9 to 10 cards and the layout goes like this:
