Ostara Tarot Spread Video

The Purpose of this card divination spread This spread takes a closer look at the yearly Ostara Celebration or Spring Equinox, in order to obtain insight into both the quality and tasks of the upcoming time. The cards drawn in this spread are valid through May 1.

When doing this spread, you will need at least four different Tarot or Oracle decks. The reason for this is because you have the BASE, GENERAL, COMPANION, MASTER, and JOKER.

Base Cards, The Elemental Power - Use decks with the four elements (Air, Water, Fire, Earth). Use the Minor Arcana Only.

General Cards, The Foundation - Use any Tarot Deck of your choice.

Companion Cards - Any decks that you feel supported or strengthened, i.e. Goddess Cards or Fairy Oracle, etc.

Master Cards, The Apprenticeship - Higher Messages. Example, the Major Arcana, or Astrology Cards.

Joker Cards, The Surprise - Examples would be Bach Flower Cards, Healing Cards, or Color Cards. You could also use Karma Cards if you want.

The Decks I used were the Universal Waite, Guilded Tarot, Goddess Guidance Oracle, and the Wisdom Well. This was just for demonstration purposes only.

Ostara - New Moon Spread

Many thanks to Lisa Lloyd, Tarot Healer, North Yorkshire, United Kingdom for posting this on her blog: Tarot Healing by Lisa.

It is truly a beautifully constructed spread, and just perfect for this time of year. From Lisa's post of this we read:

This spread can be used either during the New Moon, to look at how to best progress during the coming month, or at Ostara (corresponding to the New Moon phase in the Wheel of the Year) in order to look at the forecast for the coming year. In the New Moon phase we are primarily concerned with sowing seeds for the future. Keys to creating abundance in the month or year ahead are found here, and done with the right intent you will be invoking powerful angelic forces as well, as you cast your spread. Feel free to copy and use this spread, but please link back to me if you use it on your blog/website.

Happy Easter, and Blessed Ostara to one and all.

Yours, in love and light, I remain

How to do a perfect reading - Part 2

How to do a perfect Tarot reading - and it's easier than you might think.This is Part Two of Two. The first part shows the importance of talking to people in language they can understand - and how to do this. The reading is about the questioner, after all, and not about you or how good you are, so keep coming back to the cards that were chosen.

Demonstration of reading the top cards of the OOTK Spread

The top cards of the four piles in the Opening of the Key Tarot Spread give you the overview of the reading. Paul Hughes-Barlow demonstrates how to put together the meaning of the cards, their element in relationship to the element of each pile, to the element of the next card. I also demonstrate how to use the astrological attributions of the cards to specify when the events happen, and make a prediction on the outcome.

How to read the back of tarot cards using the OOTK spread

Paul Hughes-Barlow demonstrates how it is possible to start reading the tarot cards before you turn them over! Using the Opening of the Key spread the relative heights of the piles and their elemental values tell the tarot reader a lot about what is happening in the life of the client.

The Crucifixion Tarot Spread

The Crucifixion Tarot Spread is a self-assessment tool that presents you with four Keys to attaining your goal. The Keys are color-coded in the video to make them easier to see. The Keys are as follows:

Green: (from the Cover position to the Fear position) This Key points to what qualities you have in yourself that you can use to conquer the fears that are keeping you from reaching your goal.

Red: (from the Best Outer position to the Worst Inner) This Key points to what outward quality you have in yourself that you can use to address the worst inner qualities.

Yellow: (from the Best Inner position to the Worst Outer) This Key points to what inner quality you have in yourself that you can use to address the worst outer qualities.

Blue: (from the Faith position to the Goal position) points to areas in your life where you need to have more faith and how you need to direct that faith.

This can be a difficult spread in more than one way. First of all, the cards can take on multiple meanings so a good knowledge of the cards (or a good reference book) is necessary.

Secondly, this spread can be quite brutal in showing you your bad qualities, but this spread is also brutally forgiving in propping you back up by showing you your best. Therefore, choose words carefully when laying out this spread for someone else. The point of this spread is not to beat up on anyone (or yourself), but merely to provide a friendly directional kick to the seat of the pants, courtesy Jesus Christ...
