Illuminate My Path
A sunshine inspired tarot spread

This tarot spread has been inspired by the Sunshine that has been gracing my home in recent weeks; all is aglow and all in bright, and thus it feels right to utilise this Sunshine to shed some light onto ourselves and see where we are headed.

1. The Ground: Just where is your current path based? In what, is your foundation; your beginning; your inspiration? What drives you? Is it growth? Learning? Spirituality? This card will tell you.

2. The Sky: Where will this path take you? You are headed up and away, but where is up and away? What will following this path lead you towards? Fulfillment, hurt, or something else entirely,…

3. The 1st Branch (physical): Paths often wind and twist and branch off into new and interesting places – where else will this path lead to? What opportunities that you did not expect will reveal themselves to you should you continue on this journey?

4. The 2nd Branch (emotional): This path may open up or make you vulnerable to new emotions and feelings; how does this path make you feel and how can you deal with these emotions?

Feel free to use and reblog as you wish, but do not re-post or remove the caption. If you use this spread in paid readings, all I ask is that credit is given to me as its creator.

This is the spread I used to interview my new deck. I based it off some other writings I’ve seen, so it isn’t the most original, but hopefully still useful. I hope you find it helpful when trying to understand more about a deck’s personality!

1. What’s your main characteristic?
This is what is fundamental about your deck, what will always be true about it.

2. What element do you align with?
Different decks align with different elements. It breaks down something like this:
Major Arcana = spirit (good at spiritual matters and introspection)
Wands = fire (potentially “sassy”, good at matters of passion)
Swords = air (detached, intellectual, and introspective)
Cups = water (good at matters of the heart and being kind)
Pentacles/Coins = earth (grounded, contemplative, good at real life stuff)
Furthermore, the card you draw might also hint at a characteristic. For ex., the eight of wands would show that your deck is good at future-telling, especially of what your dreams and passions will be

3. How do you see yourself?
This is really a personality question. It is less “honest” than the first position, because it is more subjective.

4. How do you see me?
This is how the deck currently views you. That is subject to change.

5. How do you view life?
This way you can tell if your deck is optimistic, pessimistic, or realistic.

6. What can you teach me?
The lessons your deck has to give.

7. What do you find easy?
The sorts of questions your deck excels at.

8. What do you struggle with?
The sorts of questions your deck finds more difficult to answer.

9. What do I need to know?
This could be general, or it could be what you need to know about the deck.

10. What do you want from me?
What the deck wants out of your relationship.

11. How can I improve our relationship?
What you can do to bond more with your deck.

12. Outcome of our relationship
Not so much a fixed outcome as a mutable one, one that shifts with how you approach the deck and use it.

Witch Tip

starborn-witch:

When divining with a pendulum, ask these two questions first:

  1. Pendulum, are you in harmony with me?
  2. Is now a good time to ask questions of a spiritual nature?

If you get a “no” for either question, do a quick cleansing of yourself, your pendulum, and your space using your preferred method and try again. If you still get a “no” for either question, try again later; perhaps in a different place.

This will help you calibrate your pendulum and get into a good habit of when and where to use it. It will also let you know if there may be spiritual interference that would affect the answers you receive. Happy divining! 

Cartomancy ABC Guide

ivi-maud:

What is Cartomancy?

Cartomancy is divining with playing cards.  Each card has a meaning and are interpreted by the reader who organizes them into certain spreads.  Spreads are the way that the playing cards are set onto the table and I’ll be talking about them more later.  Some readers integrate their spirituality into their readings, calling upon deities or spirit guides or connecting with their higher self.  Others may use their beliefs to explain how cartomancy works.

Spreads

Here’s an example of a cartomancy spread:

image

A reader places a card on every rectangle pictured above.  They would then apply the meaning of the card to the situation it stands for.  A spread sets up the situation you are looking to divine about.   Here is a spread focusing on a person’s whole life but a reader could lay out a spread that’s centered on a person’s love, job opportunities, or present struggles.  

Cartomancy tips

  • If doing a face-to-face reading, it’s a good idea to ask the receiver to shuffle the cards.  This allows them to connect to the cards and engage in the reading.  
  • When you draw the cards, you can choose from the top of the deck or spread them out and choose whichever call to you. 
  • There is more to consider in cartomancy than the set card meanings.  A group of certain colored cards can be significant as can a group of court cards (kings, queens, jacks)
  • The more you know about the cards, the easier readings become.

Hey, could you send me the links you have about divination or just tarot if it’s not too much trouble? Thank you for the help!

Hah, hah hah. I actually didn’t have ANY links at the ready. So I went and compiled all this for you. Hence why it took like 3-4 hours for me to answer this. Hope it helps!
