Yesterday
I've tried two Thanksgiving spreads, I found on other blogs, but although
they appealed to me very much, neither of them gave me much clarity. Or perhaps
I wasn’t feeling the Thanksgiving vibe. So I gave one of my own more familiar spreads a try. This one is called
“The three blessings”. (Still a bit in
the same spirit). I have found it somewhere online, a long time ago.
It’s a
three card spread, which are my most favorite spreads: Short, fast and decisive.
Enough to tell an elaborate story or to see in one glance what the core of the
issue is. Mostly I just pull three cards and read them as they present
themselves. I like to read cards very intuitively, with a book nearby for fresh
input. J
With
this spread the positions do have a set meaning:
1 my hope – 2 my inspiration -3 my guidance

| The three blessings spread - Crystal Visions tarot |
I've pulled
:
1 My
hope -Ace of Cups: I hope to receive love on various levels. And I hope to able
to share love as well. But most of all I hope to feel loved by the Divine because
somehow I’m not feeling that connected lately. I hope to become more receptive.
Like a vessel…..
2 My
inspiration – Queen of wands: I am going to rekindle my creative embers with the
energy of this queen. I am already more inspired but still it’s difficult to get passed my inner censors
3 My
guidance - The Moon: I can trust my
intuition to do, say and feel the right thing. So guided by my higher self and
my instincts I want to explore the shady territory of my insecure mind. I know
I don’t have to be afraid in my own darkness.
Today I
am going to strip down my altar to the bare necessities.( a little bit scary)
Gradually it has accumulated a lot of stuff and I want to start over. Everything
I’ll put there has to have a special meaning to me right now. And the followings
days I will slowly figure out if I need any additions . Perhaps in a week my
altar is just the way it was. Who knows J
What a great spread! I always seem to get more from smaller spreads than from those that use a lot of cards. Sometimes a lot of information is too much for practical use.
ReplyDeleteYes larger spreads seem to overwhelm to. Three to five cards is just enough for me :D
ReplyDeleteVery nice spread! I like it, it's very specific. I love this deck and the amethysts! :) I agree with you both. Muchas Estrellas!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you Las Magas. It's a very gentle deck to work with:)
DeleteI love the spread and this reminded me that someday I want that deck! :) simple is also my go-to, 3 with no assigned positions. It's amazing what the cards will say on their own.
ReplyDeleteEvery time something new will pop up when you expect it the least, that is the fun part of impromptu small readings :)
DeleteMaking yourself more receptive to the divine through igniting your creativity and trusting yourself even in your dark moments - how beautiful! Really like this spread, I'm another fan of 3 carders :)
ReplyDeleteThanks. It is one thing to write this and a complete other thing to act on it :D
DeleteBut for me writing is can be form of prayer so who knows.....
