Medicine Cards : 4 Corners Spread

Fulgour

2_____8
1 3 5 7 9
4_____6


The cards are drawn in order, one through nine.
As they are laid on the table, however, the cards
1 3 5 7 9 are laid face down, and 2 4 6 8 face up.

Picking one at a time from any of the face down cards,
they are then paired to one of the face up corner cards.

There's no right or wrong, just a spontaneous association.
When all four corner cards have been paired in this way,
the last card remaining (still face down) is turned face up,
and placed in the center of the spread. It is the main card.

The position meanings of the 4 Corners is your own choice.
The significance of the pairs, and how they relate to the one
central card is what the reading itself will then determine.

Try it for Tarot too!

Looks very interesting.
Giving each "Corner" position a meaning beforehand
can make matching the pairs very interesting to do.

Are there any threads, examples or samples of readings done with Medicine cards (the ones by Jamie Sams and David Carson)?
This may be interesting as a beginning...

I'm not sure I understand it, but it looks interesting. I've had the medicine cards for years and lately have been looking at them more...

Thanks Fulgour
