Tarot Spreads
How to Read Them, Create Them, and Revise Them
Tarot Spreads will stand out by empowering readers to develop their own personalized spreads or tweak existing spreads to suit their needs.
From single-card readings to twenty-card layouts, tarot spreads help to bring structure, clarity, and purpose to tarot readings. But for many readers, spreads can feel complicated or confusing, hard to read, or just plain frustrating. And sometimes, no matter how hard you look, you simply cannot find the spread you’re looking for.
While plenty of books are already on the market that feature hundreds of prewritten layouts, Tarot Spreads will stand out by empowering readers to develop their own personalized spreads or tweak existing spreads to suit their needs. Rather than simply offering readers hundreds of spreads to choose from, Tarot Spreads includes a substantial library of spreads as well as the tools and tips readers need to customize spreads for themselves. Spreads are offered for a variety of personal situations (love, creativity, career, illness, etc.) as well as for moon phases, sabbats, astrological signs, elements, and archetypes.
With spreads of all lengths, organized by size as well as by theme, Tarot Spreads is a useful handbook for tarot readers of all skill and experience levels. A special aspect of this book is its focus on revising tarot spreads. Revising a tarot spread is another word for editing, tweaking, or adjusting. When your reading seems off, or doesn’t resonate, you don’t need to use the tarot spread as it’s written, and you don’t need to start from scratch. This book will teach you how to revise an existing spread to better suit your purposes.
