How to create your own Tarot spread
Here are the steps on how to create your own tarot spread divination:
Choose a topic. What do you want to focus on in your reading? Do you want to know about your love life, your career, or your overall well-being?
Decide on the number of cards. How many cards do you want to use in your spread? There are no rules, but most spreads use between 3 and 10 cards. If you are a beginner, you might want to start with a smaller spread with fewer cards. As you become more experienced, you can experiment with larger spreads with more cards.
Arrange the cards. Lay out the cards in a way that makes sense to you. There are no rules, so feel free to experiment. Think about your theme, and what question(s) or situation(s) do you want insight into?
Write it down. You may not remember your ideas the second time around so even if you don’t think it’s quite perfected, write down a working title for your spread, draw the card layout you chose as well as the associated meanings. I will number the cards ina. spread to show what order the cards are drawn and placed on the table.
Test your spread. Shuffle the deck and draw your cards while thinking about your intention. Follow your notes to recreate your spread. Look at the cards and see what they tell you. What are the images and symbols on the cards? What do they mean to you? Once you have interpreted the cards, you can start to draw conclusions about your reading. Did your spread flow? Were you surprised by the insight you received after following your own spread? This can be a lot of fun :)
Write down your interpretation. Write down your interpretation of the cards so that you can refer back to it later. This will help you to get a deeper understanding of your reading and how your spread is working.
Meditate on the cards. Take some time to meditate on the cards and what they mean to you. This will help you to get a deeper understanding of your reading and the spread. It may help you later on to have a feeling of when to use it again.
Creating your own tarot spread is a great way to personalize your tarot practice. It allows you to focus on the areas of your life that are most important to you. It also allows you to explore your own intuition and to gain insight into your own life.
Here are some additional tips for creating your own tarot spread:
Keep it simple. Your first spread doesn't have to be complicated. A simple spread with a few cards can be just as effective as a more complex spread.
Use your intuition. When you're choosing the cards, go with your gut feeling. The cards that you feel drawn to will be the ones that are most likely to give you a meaningful reading.
Don't be afraid to experiment. Once you've created your spread, don't be afraid to experiment with it. Try different layouts, different numbers of cards, and different interpretations. The more you experiment, the better you'll become at reading tarot.
Have fun! Tarot is a tool for self-discovery and growth. It can be a lot of fun to use, so don't take it too seriously. Relax and enjoy the process.
