Alright, let’s talk about these Biddy Tarot spreads. Heard about them a while back, kept seeing the name pop up, you know? Figured I oughtta see what the fuss was about.
Getting Started with It
So, first thing I did was just look ’em up. Found the main Biddy Tarot site, saw they had a bunch of spreads listed, some free, some in guides. Didn’t wanna spend money right off the bat, so I grabbed a few of the free ones they showed. Think the first one I properly tried was a simple three-card thing. Past, Present, Future, maybe? Or Situation, Action, Outcome? Can’t quite recall which specific one it was first, tried a couple basic ones.
Honestly, at the beginning, I wasn’t sure if they were any different from the spreads I already knew. A spread’s a spread, right? Lay out the cards, see what they say. But I committed to trying their way, using the position meanings they laid out.
Making it a Habit (Sort Of)
I started using one or two pretty regular-like. Wasn’t super strict, maybe a few times a week when I had a specific question bugging me. Found myself going for their ‘Celtic Cross’ variation sometimes, and they had this ‘Decision Making’ spread that looked useful.
- Tried the ‘Relationship Spread’ once or twice.
- Messed with the ‘Career Path’ spread when I was feeling stuck.
- Even gave that ‘New Moon Spread’ a whirl just ’cause.
It wasn’t rocket science. Just followed the layouts they provided. Pulled the cards, read ’em according to the position descriptions. Sometimes it clicked, sometimes it felt a bit… generic? But I kept at it for a bit, just to see.
One Time It Actually Helped
There was this one time, right? Had this nagging feeling about a project at work. Couldn’t put my finger on it. Was it me? Was it someone else? Was the whole thing doomed? Used one of their problem-solving spreads, can’t remember the exact name. Laid out the cards according to their positions – like ‘The Core Problem’, ‘What’s Blocking’, ‘Advice’.
And damn if it didn’t actually point something out. One card, I think it was in the ‘Hidden Factors’ position, totally made me rethink. It wasn’t about the project itself, but about how I was communicating (or not communicating) with one specific coworker. Wasn’t magic, just made me look at the situation from a different angle the spread suggested. Helped me figure out what I needed to do next, which was basically just talk to the guy.
What I Reckon Now
Look, using the Biddy Tarot spreads wasn’t some life-changing event. They’re fine. They’re practical. That’s the main thing I noticed. The position meanings are usually pretty straightforward, no mystical mumbo-jumbo, mostly focused on actionable advice or understanding a situation. That’s useful, especially if you’re starting out or just want a quick, clear answer without getting lost in the weeds.
Do I use them all the time now? Nah, not really. I kinda went back to my own ways, mixing and matching positions from different spreads I’ve learned over the years. But I still remember a couple of the Biddy ones. If I’m feeling really stumped and want a very structured look at something, I might pull up one of their layouts. They’re like a decent tool in the toolbox, you know? Not the only tool, maybe not the fanciest, but they get the job done sometimes. Worth trying out if you’re curious, see if they fit how you like to read.
