Turn Your Wishes Into Reality

Ok, first off, the spread is supposed to look like a spiral, but of course I did a real bad job at trying to make it look like one! But I hope you get the idea of the look I was trying to go for. The first card laid would be at the very center of the spread and then moves around and outward. I call this spread "Turn Your Wishes Into Reality." I think that is pretty much explains itself. It is just a spread to show you how to achieve that which you set out to achieve.

I generally like this spread, but I have one small (semantic) quibble with it. It sounds like any wish can be turned into a reality in exactly three steps. In some cases that might be true. But in many cases I believe it may take more than three steps. So instead of first step, second step, last step, how about terms like initial step, another step and next step? That way it becomes open-ended and when the Querent has completed the next step and still hasn't seen the wish materialized, then s(he) will know it's time to do this spread again.

Just my $0.02 worth....
