Alright, let’s talk about this new tarot deck spread thing. I ain’t no fancy pants reader, ya know? Just a regular person tryin’ to figure things out, same as you. So, this “new deck spread,” what’s it all about? Sounds kinda complicated, but don’t you worry none, we’ll get through it together.
First off, you got yourself a new deck of cards, huh? Shiny and pretty, maybe with cats on ’em or somethin’. Well, that’s nice. But a deck’s just a deck ’til you use it, right? Like a good pan, gotta cook somethin’ in it to make it useful. So, this spread, it’s like your recipe for usin’ them cards.
Now, some folks, they like them big, fancy spreads. Cards all over the place, lookin’ like a doggone mess. Seven cards, ten cards, who knows how many! Too much for my old brain, I tell ya. I like to keep things simple. One card, maybe three, that’s enough for me.
- One card? That’s easy. Just shuffle them cards, think about what you wanna know, and pull one. That card, it tells you somethin’. Maybe it’s good, maybe it’s bad, but it’s somethin’.
- Three cards? That’s a little more, but still manageable. You can do past, present, future. Or maybe problem, cause, solution. See? Simple.
But this “new deck spread” thing… I reckon it means you’re tryin’ to get to know your new deck. That makes sense. Every deck’s got its own personality, ya know? Like people. Some are loud and bossy, some are quiet and shy. Your new deck, it’s gotta tell you how it likes to talk. So how do you do that?
Well, I’d start with that one-card pull. Ask the deck, “Hey, what’s your deal? What kind of energy you got?” And see what comes up. Maybe it’s the Magician card. That means your deck’s a get-it-done kinda deck. Resourceful, you know? Like me when I gotta fix a leaky faucet. Or maybe you get the Lovers card. Maybe it’s a deck all about relationships and choices.
Then, maybe try a three-card spread. Ask the deck, “What are you good at? What can you help me with?” And see what it shows ya. Love? Work? Money? Health? Your deck’s gonna have its strengths, just like us folks. My niece, she’s good with numbers, but ask her to bake a pie and you’ll get a brick. Me, I can bake a mean pie, but numbers? Forget about it.
You can also try a five-card spread if you’re feelin’ fancy. But keep it simple, alright? Don’t go tryin’ to read them cards like some kinda fortune teller at a carnival. Just ask straightforward questions and see what answers you get. This ain’t about predictin’ the future, it’s about understandin’ yourself and your situation. It’s like when you watch those Korean dramas my granddaughter always goes on about. “Twenty Five Twenty One” or something? They met when they were young, faces all sorts of problems, and then fell in love. Life’s messy. Cards are kinda like that too.
And remember, this “new deck spread,” it’s just a way to get to know your tools. Like sharpenin’ a knife before you chop vegetables, or warmin’ up your car before you drive it in the winter. You gotta get acquainted with them cards before they can really help you. So shuffle them good, ask your questions, and listen to what your deck has to say. And don’t worry if you don’t understand it all right away. It takes time. Just like learnin’ to make a good pie. Or understandin’ them darn Korean dramas.
So go on, give it a try. And don’t be scared. Them cards ain’t gonna bite ya. They’re just there to help you see things a little clearer. And that’s a good thing, ain’t it?
