In my last post, we discussed the concept of the “Free Will of Fate.”
Discussion is one thing, practical application is another. So I decided to show you a simple Tarot spread that applies this principle in the practice of divination.
Position 1: The Crossroads. This position represents the figurative place you are in right now. Before you, you face a decision with two options. This decision may be a major life decision (like whether or not to get married right now) or not (like whether to eat that muffin.)
Position 2: Represents the first step on the first optional road you could take from Position 1. By now, the decision is made, you chose left instead of right, and this will determine your course.
Position 3: Represents an obstacle on this path.
Position 4: Represents someone or something that will help you along your way on this path.
Position 5: Represents the first step on the second optional road you could take from Position 1. By now, the decision is made, you chose right instead of left, and this will determine your course.
Position 6: Represents an obstacle on this path.
Position 7: Represents someone or something that will help you along your way on this path.
Position 8: Final outcome. Lesson learned. The point of this spread is that you will arrive at your destination no matter how you chose to get there. This idea is both liberating and difficult for the controlling nature of the human condition.
I hope you enjoyed this new spread, and add it to your repertoire!
