What do you think of my general spread? (Advice/suggestions?)
The most widely recognized general spread has to be the Celtic Cross, but I have never felt quite connected to it. For some reason anything that has a "cross" in it just doesn't click with me--so I decided to design my own general spread. I did a few test readings and it's worked out pretty well so far, but I'm hoping I can receive some comments and feedback in case there is anything I missed or if there is anything else I should consider or add to the spread.
This is what it looks like:
------3---1/2---4-----
------5----6----7-----
--8----------------9--
-------10----11-------
----------12-----------
1-The Querent
2-Challenges/Obstacles (placed horizontally over card #1 so it forms a mini cross)
3-Fears
4-Hopes
5-Past
6-Present
7-Future
8-Negative influences/energies surrounding this issue
9-Positive influences/energies surrounding this issue
10-Advice Card (for internal workings, emotional issues, attitudes, etc)
11-Advice Card (for external workings, more action-oriented, inducing changes, etc)
12-Subconscious/Unknown factors (placed horizontally and face-down and not revealed until the end of reading)
Any feedback is appreciated. Thanks in advance!
