Alright folks, gather ’round! Today I’m gonna spill the beans on something I’ve been tinkering with: tarot card divisions. You know, different ways to lay ’em out for readings. I’m not a pro or anything, just a regular person playing around with tarot and sharing what I learned.
It all started a few weeks ago. I had this deck sitting around, gathering dust. I’d tried reading for myself before, but honestly, I was just pulling cards and making stuff up. It felt…unstructured. So, I figured I’d do some digging, see what’s out there in terms of spreads.
First thing I did was hit up the internet. So many different spreads! I was overwhelmed. Celtic Cross, Three-Card Spread, Relationship Spread… the list goes on. I decided to start simple. The Three-Card Spread seemed easy enough: Past, Present, Future. Classic, right?
I shuffled the deck, focused on a question (something vague like “What’s coming up for me?”), and drew three cards. The first card for the Past was The Tower. Yikes. Then the Present was the Four of Cups. Hmm. And the Future was the Sun. Okay, that’s better!
Now, here’s where the fun began. Interpreting these bad boys! I grabbed my little guidebook (yeah, I still need it) and looked up the meanings. The Tower in the Past…well, that pointed to some major upheaval I’d been through. Totally nailed it. The Four of Cups in the Present suggested I was being a bit closed off, not seeing opportunities. Also, pretty accurate. The Sun in the Future? That’s all sunshine and happiness! It gave me a little hope, I gotta say.
But just the three cards didn’t feel like enough info. So, I tried another spread, the Celtic Cross. This one’s a beast! It’s got ten cards, each with its own position and meaning. It looked super intimidating, but I figured, why not?
I found a diagram online showing where each card goes and what it represents (you can easily find one too). It was a bit of a brain workout, trying to keep track of everything. I pulled the cards, laid them out, and then spent a good hour trying to decipher what it all meant.
The Celtic Cross was way more detailed than the Three-Card Spread. It gave me insights into my conscious and unconscious influences, challenges, and potential outcomes. It was like a deep dive into my situation.
I’ve also been messing around with single-card pulls. Sometimes, when I’m feeling indecisive, I just ask a question and draw one card for a quick answer. It’s not always super helpful, but it can give you a little nudge in one direction or another.
Now, here’s the thing I learned: there’s no right or wrong way to do this. It’s all about finding what works for you. Some people swear by elaborate spreads, others prefer the simplicity of a single card. It all depends on what you’re looking for and how much time you want to spend.
I think the most important thing is to just practice. The more you work with the cards, the more familiar you become with their meanings and the more comfortable you feel interpreting them. Don’t be afraid to experiment with different spreads and find the ones that resonate with you.
So, that’s my tarot card division adventure so far. It’s been a fun little hobby, and I’ve learned a lot about myself in the process. Maybe you should give it a try!
