I wondered whether if i could superimpose the fools journey through the major arcana and incorporate it into a spread. If this is something someone has already thought about, my opologise for replicating. It just dawned on me today while trying to revise, and also after experimenting with Lucifermom's 21 card spread, the spread looked like a travel through time and life to me
The spread draws on 22 cards (both majors and minors), placed into each of the Major Arcana houses. It should look like this:
.......15..16..17..18..19..20..21..
.......08..09..10..11..12..13..14..
..00..01..02..03..04..05..06..07..
each position has its lessons that each major arcana represents.
00- Where you are right now?
01- meeting the magician: what potential do i possess in me?
02- meeting the priestess: what important knowledge/ information have I come to acquire?
03- meeting the Empress: what have I nurtured in me (good or bad)?
04- meeting the Emperor: what have I come to value in my rational mind?
05- meeting the Hierophant: What values or beliefs are influencing me?
06-meeting the Lovers: Am I in harmony/unison with myself/ partner/ work
etc?
07- meeting the Chariot: Have I learnt to focus? where am i going?
08- meeting strength: what have I understood about my will power and desires/control?
09- meeting the Hermit: Do i consider my decisions or thoughts with depth and wisdom?
10.- Meeting the WoF- Have I learnt the meaning of fate? Am i shaping my own destiny?
11.- meeting with Justice- how well do I handle the trials and tribulations?
12- meeting with the Hanged Man- How do I cope with stillness?
13- meeting with Death- What do I know about release/ letting go? what have i come to let go?
14- meeting with Temperance- What have I learnt about emotional balance?
15- Meeting with the Devil- what have i come to understand about the physical/ material aspects about my life?
16- Meeting with the Tower- HAve I built a strong foundation for my life/love/work/etc?
17-Meeting with the Star- What have i come to hope for/ develop optimism towards?
18- Meeting with the Moon- Are there disillusions for me to dispel? What obscures my spiritual/mental/emotional clarity?
19- Meeting with the Sun- What do i see as illuminating?
20- Meeting with Judgement- Am i ready to face that which awaits me?
21- Meeting the World- I am ready for that which awaits me. Help me see my achievement/ how far I have come?
As i wrote this, I thinking on my understanding of the major arcanum. Each impacts on every single aspect of life So, in order to fine tune the spread, I think focussing the question to specific areas of life will be better to get a clear look.
The Fool (represenst you/me) could take a trip into family/ love/ career/ finance for eg.
Or focus it on mind/ body or spirit?
I feel this spread is simple but can get quite complicated. What will be helpful is a topic of focus, also may be a time referrence ( so you can compare the changes when you next repeat the spread). It is our individual journey after all, things will change and it will be good to see if it actually reflects reality. Also- i think this spread works to analyse the past ( I like looking back ) , helps me see how thoughts and actions have shaped the present. The past is one thing I know for sure ( it has happened, lol! ).
tell me what you think..
I hope you find this helpful..much love
