3 Month Time Tree Spread for myself

This spread was done for myself, to determine what the next 3 months will bring. I chose the Paulina Tarot, by Paulina Cassidy.

1 represents the Past. The card was The Magician. We've been very focused towards achieving a goal for a very long time. We've worked very hard towards it, using everything in our power to get to where we want to be. It worked, and we are almost done.

2 & 3 represent the current - the 'now'. The cards were the Five of Swords and Knight of Pentacles. We are feeling disillusioned and defeated. The victory we achieved feels empty and void of meaning. We are in a bad place financially, with little to no hope on the horizon.

4,5 & 6 represent the next 1-4 weeks in my life. The cards were The Lovers, The Hermit, and Queen of Pentacles. We will only have each other to depend upon, and a choice will have to be made. It will require soul searching and looking within. A woman may show generosity towards us.

7 & 8 represent the following 5-8 weeks (month 2). The cards were The Moon and the Hanged Man. There will be confusion and illusion, as well as self deceit. We will be forced to adapt to changes, readjustment will be in order. We will feel as if we are back in a state of limbo again.

9 represents the following 9-12 weeks (month 3). The card was the Two of Cups. We will be happy. There will be a need for cooperation with others.

New Deck Interview Spread

This is the first time I've done a spread to interview a new deck, and I thoroughly enjoyed it! In fact, I enjoyed it so much that I may do it with all of my other decks, even though they aren't new!

I found this spread on Aeclectic Tarot Forum.

This one was done with the Sacred Rose Tarot. I am really enjoying this deck, and I wasn't sure that I would at first!

Card 1 asks the deck what it's most important characteristic is. The card drawn was the 3 of Wands. The Sacred Rose is telling me that it's most important characteristics are teamwork and cooperation!

Card 2 asks the deck what it's strengths are as a tarot deck. The card drawn was the 4 of Wands. The strengths of the deck are commitment and positive energy.

Card 3 asks what the deck's limits are. The card drawn was the Queen of Pentacles. She is telling me that the deck is practical and sensible, no frivolity here!

Card 4 asks what the deck is here to teach me. The card was The Hermit! I can't really think of a better card to get in this position from a new deck! The Sacred Rose will teach me the truth, and show me how to find it.

Card 5 asks how I can best collaborate with the deck. The card was the 8 of Wands...No holds barred...Full speed ahead...

Card 6 asks the potential outcome of our working relationship. The card was the King of Swords. Together, we will give sound advice, learn objectivity, and build strength of character.

I foresee a long future of working with the Sacred Rose tarot, which I find very interesting considering I had mediocre feelings about it initially!

Today's Daily Draw

This is The Hermit from the Legacy of the Divine Tarot, by Ciro Marchetti. This is one of my favourite renderings of the entire deck.

It is a beautifully moving card, and if someone has difficulty reading intuitively with this image, they probably shouldn't be trying to read intuitively at all!

The Hermit is a very apt card for me today, as I am trying to work on the way I feel and react to different situations. I bring alot of stress upon myself because of my emotional reactions, so The Hermit is reminding me to step back, and spend some time alone in quiet contemplation. I need to get in touch with my own inner guidance, and search for hidden truths and a deeper understanding of my reactions to the mundane world.
