The Extended Dance Mix Version - Dancing in the Dark!!! LOL
Hi bec,
WOW, thats a good outcome for that spread! Better than the headache!!
Thankyou for letting me know about your reading. Its so informative. I have put the revised spread at the bottomof the post. Thankyou for the suggestions they make such a difference to the way I view the spread and how it evolves into a worthwhile and healing tool.
I agree with the added card and thought it should be something like:
The Key of Release - The first step to releasing the Self from the Darkness.
I like the number placement of this card too - the seventh. The vibration of the lesson and the apprentice, learning and the laws of nature. A sacred number which illuminates the mind through meditation and discipline. realization and discovery. Philosophy, science and religion. The light penetrating.
During another reading using this spread, I also came across an extra dimmension to the reading. It requires you to - after you have dealt the cards out, look at the card at the very base of the pack.
In the instance I used this method, it gave me the timing of the incident, and because I was using two decks to do the reading, the base card on the other deck gave me the 'Emotional response'.
An example would be: (my simple interpretation only)
Base 1: The Fool - timing - conception to birth.
Base 2: Seven of wands - defending the very basics of ones life, ones rights.
This may not be the only things the base cards reveal, but they give a true depth and insight to the reading which may not be accessable through the 7 questions alone.
So the new spread with the extra card looks like this:
The Dark Self Spread - Extended Version 1.:
1. Darkest Hidden Aspect - Single point of Darkness within.
2. Source of Darkness - where does the darkness come from - how did it manifest. Where does it hide.
3. Face of Darkness - How can you recognize the Darkness within. How does the darkness reveal itself. How does it impact on your life.
4. Feeding the Darkness - How are you 'Feeding the Demons' - What are you doing that keeps the Darkness alive within.
5. The Lightside of Darkness - what is the positive aspect of this side. How does it benefit your life. The necessary aspects.
6. Culling the Darkness - Lesson Realization -Restoring the balance, Harmonizing.
7. The Key of Release - The first step to releasing the Self from the Darkness. Meditation and Action.
