Choosing Tarot Spreads

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Mon, 27 Apr 2015 05:25:00 +0000

Tarot spreads are the patterns in which the 78 cards in a Tarot deck are laid out for a reading. Each layout has a unique energy, and each card within the spread represents one aspect of the reading as a whole. Common positions include:

Self/Situation: Who you are or where you find yourself, right now
Challenges/Opportunities: The obstacles facing you, and how you can use them to your advantage
Near Future: Which way the wind is blowing, and how you can direct it toward the outcome you want

Celtic Cross: The Gold Standard of Tarot Spreads

There are hundreds of Tarot spreads, with new ones being created all the time. In fact, spreads are probably being created as you're reading this. The Celtic Cross Tarot spread, which has been used for hundreds of years, is the most common, and with good reason. The positions of the 11 cards offer enough detail to give you past, present and future insight into fairly complex situations.

Other Traditional Spreads

Tree of Life: This 5-card spread is based on the mystical Hebrew Kabala. It focuses on the body's "chakras," or energy centers, and is more spiritual than predictive.
Astrological Spreads: These spreads usually feature 12 cards, which correspond to the 12 astrological houses. By combining Astrology and Tarot, you get a double dose of insight in one reading.

Non-Traditional Spreads

The Celtic Cross spread is a great introduction to what Tarot has to offer, as well as a reliable standby. But it's not the only game in town!

Happily Ever After Tarot Reading: The 7-card reading answers your relationship question while providing a framework of romance and unconditional love.
Mandala New Beginnings: The 12-Card Mandala spread is a comprehensive reading that integrates classical Tarot with the art of astrology.

Tarot Layouts

The Tarot is a deck of cards that originated over 500 years ago in northern Italy. Although the Tarot was first used in a game called Triumphs, it was quickly adopted as a tool for divination, and popularized by occult societies such as the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn. The early Tarot symbolism was deeply rooted in Medieval and Renaissance Europe, but over the centuries it has grown to incorporate everything from Astrology and Kabbalah to Runes (which predate the Tarot by 1000 years) and the I Ching (which predates the Tarot by 2500 years). Today, the Tarot is far and away the most popular tool for spiritual introspection in the West.

There are so many different kinds of tarot card layouts around that it can be difficult to decide which to learn and which to use. There are two tarot card spreads that we have found to be both effective and easy to use: Celtic Cross and 12 Card. The Celtic Cross, also called the Gnostic Cross, is a type of Tarot reading that gives you a character sketch or personality profile of the person you are reading. The Celtic Cross is like a photograph or stop action picture of a person, a cross section or slice of their life. This type of reading is useful for people, animals or any kind of animate beings but not for situations. The Celtic Cross does not answer specific questions on situations but is a quick and easy way to get a personality profile on someone. Unlike the Celtic Cross, which can only offer a personality profile, the 12 Card layout is suitable for reading people, situations, businesses, financial issues, relationships and other situations involving multiple people.

While the Celtic Cross is a still picture snapshot of a person, the 12 Card is a moving picture that shows past, present and future. This allows you to track cause and effect chains much more effectively. The 12 Card layout is so flexible that you can use multiple-card signifiers to capture complex situations, expand certain portions of the reading to get more detail or move the reading back and forth in time. In fact, the 12 Card reading is so flexible that you can actually track your history back through all your past lives. You can also use the reading to predict the probable outcome of situations, from personal life situations to global ones.

Tarot Decks

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Wed, 09 Apr 2008 11:59:00 +0000

Tarot decks depict the archetypes of spiritual life. Differences among decks Tarot cards serve many purposes, and this leads to a variety of Tarot deck styles. Traditionally, a variety of styles of Tarot decks and designs have existed. A number of typical regional patterns emerged. Historically, one of the most important designs is now usually known as the Tarot of Marseille. This standard pattern was the one studied by Court de Gabelin, and cards based on this style illustrate his Le Monde primitif. Paul Marteau also popularized the Tarot of Marseille in the 20th century. Some current editions of cards based on the Marseille design go back to a deck of a particular Marseille design that was printed by Nicolas Conver in 1760. Other regional styles include the "Swiss Tarot"; this one substitutes Juno and Jupiter for the Papess and the Pope. In Florence an expanded deck called Minchiate was used; this deck of 96 cards includes astrological symbols and the four elements, as well as traditional Tarot cards.

Some decks exist primarily as artwork; and such "art decks" sometimes contain only the 22 cards of the Major Arcana. Esoteric decks are often used in conjunction with the study of the Hermetic Kabala; in these decks the Major Arcana are illustrated in accordance with Kabalistic principles while the numbered suit cards (2 through 10) sometimes bear only stylised renderings of the suit symbol. However, under the influence of the Rider-Waite-Smith deck, decks used in the English-speaking world for divination often bear illustrated scenes on the numeric cards to facilitate divination. The more simply illustrated "Marseille" style decks are nevertheless used esoterically, for divination, and previously for game play. The French card game of tarot is now generally played using a relatively modern 19th-century design. Such Tarot decks generally have 22 trumps with genre scenes from 19th-century life, a Fool, and have minor arcana that closely resembles today's French playing cards.

Tarot decks play a significant role in Roger Zelazny's Amber fantasy series, where most major characters carry a magical deck of Tarot cards who's Trumps represent other characters and enable communication with them or locations. An influential deck in English-speaking countries is the Rider-Waite deck (sometimes called simply the Rider deck). In French-speaking countries, the Marseille deck enjoys the equivalent popularity. While the deck is sometimes known as a simple, user-friendly one, its imagery, especially in the Trumps, is complex and replete with occult symbolism. The subjects of the trumps are based on those of the earliest decks, but have been significantly modified to reflect Waite and Smith's view of Tarot. An important difference from 'Marseille'-style decks is that Smith drew scenes on the numeric cards to depict divinatory meanings; those divinatory meanings derive, in great part, from traditional cartomantic divinatory meanings (e.g., Etteilla and others) and from divinatory meanings first espoused by The Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, of which both Waite and Smith were members. However, it isn't the first deck to include completely illustrated numeric cards. The first to do so was the 15th-century Sola-Busca deck; however, in this case, the illustrations apparently were not made to facilitate divination.

Not unlike a regular deck of playing cards, the Minor Arcana are divided into four suits; in this case, the suits are wands, swords, cups, and pentacles. Each suit has four face cards and ten numbered cards. Versions of Tarot images have been traced back over 15,000 years to ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics, the Hebrew Kabbalah, and several other countries and cultures including China.

In every Tarot reading there is a reader and a seeker or person asking the question of the cards. One person can also serve both roles if they choose to do their own Tarot reading. The Tarot reader places the cards in a particular spread; very general layout used are: "Three-Card Spread" cinsisting the imtervals of "Past, Present and Future". In John Crowley's novel Little, Big (1981), characters use a Tarot deck with non-standard major arcana ("the lesser trumps") for divination. Tarot cards also play a role in Stephen King's Dark Tower series. Tarot cards also play a role in Stephen King's Dark Tower series.

There are dozens of other spreads, which reveal multiple aspects about life. Psychologist Carl Jung claimed that all human experience can be categorized into common archetypes, or universal situations or images. In his studies of the Tarot and other occult practices, he found that the images used revealed universal archetypes. The Tarot uses these images to help us tap into our unconscious thoughts and feelings. From 1977 to 1980, Piers Anthony published the "Planet of Tarot" series, which included God of Tarot, Vision of Tarot and Faith of Tarot.

While the Tarot is based more on mysticism and chance than science, we are able to test how of some users received accurate readings through statistical analysis. We analyzed the readings that allows us to gauge how accurate the Tarot cards were in relation to the actual lives of the people and test-takers. On the planet Tarot, nightmares, visions and fantasies become real, and sometimes tangentially, sometimes on-target, the protagonist lives through myths and stories, e.g., the moment Jesus of Nazareth "dies" and accepts his spiritual journey as Christ the saviour, related to Tarot cards.

The Tarot of the Witches deck became notorious in the 1970s for its use in the James Bond movie Live and Let Die. These modern decks change the cards to varying degrees. For example, the Mother-peace Tarot is notable for its circular cards and feminist angle: females have replaced the mainly male characters. The Tarot of Baseball has suits of bats, mitts, balls and bases; "coaches" and "MVPs" instead of Queens and Kings; and major arcana cards like "The Catcher", "The Rule Book" and "Batting a Thousand". In the Silicon Valley Tarot, major arcana cards include The Hacker, Flame War, The Layoff and The Garage; the suits are Networks, Cubicles, Disks and Hosts; the court cards CIO, Salesman, Marketer and New Hire.

There are also cards with astronomical names, such as the star, sun and moon. They represent the elusive forces associated with these heavenly bodies.
