This spread is a variation of one listed in the Tarot of Atlantis book and is referred to in the book as "The Secret Temple of Atlantis." However I'm just going to call this the "Sacred Temple reading" so it doesn't seem so deck restrictive (plus technically this spread is different with the addition of positions). This reading is an examination reading, with each layer of the temple representing an aspect of a person's life.
HOW TO START:
-Rather than ask a question, just think of a person (yourself or other), and as you shuffle, ask the cards to see their sacred temple. Deal the cards in the pyramid shaped layout starting with #1. If you laid them face-down, flip over the cards starting with card #15 and end on card #1. That should be the order in how the spread is read as well, from bottom up starting with card #15.
LAYOUT:
*******1*******
******2*3*******
****4**5*6*******
**7**8**9*10******
11*12*13*14*15****
generally:
-Cards 11-15 will address what the person has been up to in their daily life.
-Cards 7-10 will address what the person has been up to with work/finances
-Cards 4-6 will address the person's family
-Cards 2-3 will address what's going on with someone they are close with (example: marriage, relationship, close friends, someone they want to get with, etc.)
-Card 1 is kinda an overall card in response to the other layers. What actions in the other layers relate to this card?
POSITIONS:
-I've done this spread several times and have always felt that these should be what each position represents. Feel free to change them around the more you do this spread if you think they represent something else.
15] What role you play / who you are in your daily life
14] What is going on in your daily life
13] Your actions / decisions in your daily life
12] A suggestion to improve / something to work on in your daily life
11] What is going on between you and the loved one in your daily life (same person in cards 2&3 in this reading)
10] What role you play / who you are with work/finances
9] What is going on with your work/finances
8] Your actions / decisions with your work/finances
7] A suggestion to improve / something to work on with your work/finances
6] What role you play / who you are with your family
5] What is going on with your family
4] Your actions / decisions toward your family

2] What is going on between you two
1] An overall card in response to the other layers. What actions in the other layers relate to this card? (Example: If you drew The World, what is going on in the other layers that is making life right now good for this person)
