Talisman's
Spread:
WorkSheet
Creator: Talisman
(used with permission)
This spread is a contribute from Talisman. It is a homemade design and from what I've read on the Aeclectic message board, this spread goes well overall and for many different decks.
quote Talisman> If you are bothered by the symmetry, consider 8, 6, 1 and 3 as shadow cards, the part of the moon you don't see, and 7, 2, 4 and 5 as light cards. Because of the latitude in interpretation (guidance or obstacle?) it is essential to read the cards together.<
Talisman also named the spread:
"Tempest in a Teacup Spread."

| Card 1: |
INNER Reality: The question, your private thoughts, the things about you the world may not see, what is hidden, subconscious.
|
| Card 2: |
OUTER Reality: The world around you, shared reality, environment, home, work, family, lovers, friends.
|
| Card 3: |
WANING Influences.
|
| Card 4: |
PRESENT: Significant issues surrounding the question or situation.
|
| Card 5: |
WAXING Influences.
|
| Card 6: |
LESSON Card: Guidance, wishes, detours, obstacles, challenges.
|
| Card 7: |
FUTURE Card: What you are moving toward on the path you are following, or a situation just beginning.
|
| Card 8: |
WILD Card: The element of surprise, an aspect not considered, a synthesis to pull the reading together.
|
Cards 1 and 2 form the central dynamic or genesis of the reading.
Cards 3, 4 and 5 are the foundation of the matter, the three-card spread.

Talisman,
I've been using your spread now for all my reading I'd have used the Celtic cross in the past and I have to say it's working beautifully. I love it!!! You
did such a good job (take a bow!)
Hi Talisman,
I've been using your spread with my new deck of Russell Grant's Astro Tarot.
This isn't a traditional tarot deck, beautiful deck though :), and the spread
has been working out nicely
