Yesterday I've
come across another fabulous spread created by Beth from Little Red tarot. Her spreads
are always down to earth and yet at the same time so in depth. Since I love
small spreads I couldn't wait to try this one out: "How to find your Mojo back"!
Maybe you haven’t noticed but the last painting I have posted here was in
February and since then my inspiration and drive to visually express myself went
from zero to nothing. I’ve been writing a
lot but I miss being able to just pick up a piece of paper and paint, draw or
do some collage. And while writing this, I know it is my own mindset which is
keeping me from creating. (eight of Swords mentality L) So finding this little spread is
very timely for me. I’ve used the wildwood tarot and the cards couldn’t have been
more outspoken and clear today: 
Firstly, divide your cards into majors and minors.
Shuffle the two piles separately.
Draw the first card from your major pile. Then lay
cards two and three from the minor pile:
1.Major:
Here’s your mojo, hiding – The Wanderer
In order to find my mojo back, I will have to
reconnect with my inner child, be open for adventures and new possibilities, play
and have fun. Let go of fear and tread new paths with courage and an open mind;
taking a leap o faith. Oh yeah!
2.Minor:
Here’s what’s getting in the way. – Four of Bows – Celebration
Although this is quite a positive card which is
all about celebrating the bounty, good fortune and finished projects, this card
can also warn us about the danger of feeling too secure. It is often tempting to stay
in the Four of Bows energy afraid for what might come next and thus we stagnate
our own creative flow.
3.Minor:
Here’s your solution. Do this now! – Six of Vessels- Reunion
Remember the times when you felt you were
empowered and able to create. When being in the flow was a like a second nature
and revisit them and reconnect with your inner strength. l drink form the well
of experience and wisdom to rediscover my inspiration and trust in my own
ability to create.
So what does this mean in practical terms? I am going upstairs with a large mug of coffee to flip through
some old sketchbooks and paintings and after that I am going to pick up a piece
of paper and I am going to play without troubling myself with the outcome. J
Dang, this is a GREAT spread; my mojo has been a tad rusty, so I think I could use this myself. I had to smile when I read your interpretation of the playfulness of the Fool and the saw the two otters on the Six of Vessels - how perfect! A big thank you to you and Beth for this one. :)
ReplyDeleteYes it's great isn't it. Otters are indeed playful. The artistic Page of Cups is also an otter in this deck:)
DeleteI hope this spread will give you as much inspiration as it did me. Let me now if you try it out
1. Hermit
Delete2. Three of Cups
3. Four of Wands
My quick interpretation: I connect with my mojo when I am alone and things are quiet. All the time I spend with others (while not a bad thing), leaves me no time or space for my mojo. The solution is to build in structured time to my schedule, so I will have quiet solitude for creative ideas to bubble up and give me a chance to act on them.
Wow! Great reading. I love how you've put these cards together. an I 'll hope it will give you a nudge in the right direction. :)
DeleteHugs
Love this spread. Will have to give it a try. :) I need to 'definitely' find my mojo. Hope you had a good time creating and allowing that inner child some time to play.
ReplyDeleteIt was great. After months I've picked up a pencil again!
DeleteI hope this spread will inspire you as much as it did me :)
this was excellent. I loved the "do it now" aspect of the 6 of Vessels.. Good luck on getting back into what you love so much.
ReplyDeleteHi Melodie! . It was so much fun!. The first step is often the most difficult after that it gets easier
DeleteGorgeous reading, Ellen! I actually feel I've found my mojo this week, anyway. Now, I just need some time to express it… Glad you found your mojo, too - that reconnecting with the past by looking at your old pictures and drawings is a lovely idea. Remembering all the fun you had creating seems to have gotten you in the mood nicely :)
ReplyDeleteI am so happy you've found yours too I guess there has been a lot of Mojo searching going around :)
DeleteYes it was good and inspiring to look at those pictures from the past. It really amazes me how pulling three cards can get me in the flow of creating again.)
