The Raven Spirit Guide, Shadow Spread

My Animal Totem is the Raven, and over many months I've been doing spiritual and shadow working with my animal spirit guide. During this journey with Raven and my love for the tarot, I've search everywhere and to no avail there were no spreads to help you go deeper into your depths in order to bring out light. Raven Spirit knows best how to help you explore the deeper mysteries.

It is Raven who dangles the Key, Ravens are known to be able to trigger the energies of the magick you feel all around you, and they will teach you to fearlessly go about manifesting that magick to fruition, they do this through activating the link between intention and willful action. Ravens are known to be able to see into both the past and the future, with Raven, your own intellect will be acutely sharpened and you intuition honed. Raven is also known as "The Keeper of Secrets" Guide to the unknown and the teacher of the mystic, the raven goes into the darkness to return with the light. The Raven is the symbol of our own Soul. To honor the darkness of the Raven's Wing, we turn to our own hidden interior, the parts of our own past marked with shadows of unhealed wounds and unexpressed emotion. All healing begins with the spiritual which converts the emotional, mental, and many times physical levels.

I have created this spread in the shape of a raven, to help myself work through my shadows. this spread is still in the works, I've been the only one who has used this spread please try out my spread and give me feed bk. thank you may Raven Spirit guide you on your journey through your shadows to bring out the light that await within you..

Thank your for trying out the spread and showing your results in the your reading section. Hint you can used any tarot deck as well as Oracle Cards.

I am pleased to hear that you liked the spread, when I created the spread I made sure that it didn't just focus on the negative side, I balanced it out with positive. ways that you can do for yourself to help heal, move past, showing you the light and the end of the tunnel. I use this spread even when I am troubled about something, and can't find my way around it, so I turn to the spread to show me the path. it has worked every time.

One question, I did the other spread you mentioned above about finding your spirit animal, and I dont have any oracle cards or cards with what apparently the reading said my totem was a lion. Could I just picture the lion there in its esscence lol?

I will try out the raven spread tomorrow. I definately think it will help me out.

Yes you can use a photo or any other image to represent your totem, just make sure that it is with you and part of the spread. hey even on ornament of your spirit guide would work (the purpose is to have something there to represent your spirit guide)
