I’d like that to share my favorite genal spread, copyright goes to Christine Filipak.  I generally don’t remember the spreads in the Little White Books that oracles and tarot decks have, but I found that one in the Madame Eudora’s Fortune Cards booklet and I just love it, and it goes well with oracles and tarot decks as well.  The Madame Eudora’s Fortune Cards is a beautiful oracle deck.

It is a spread I posted on the Aeclectic Tarot Forums that concern the Petit Lenormand, and it can be used with the Kipper as well. You place the querent card in the middle and then select and place the other cards around the querent card. Personally I don’t like using bg spreads whether it’s tarot or other oracles, so I generally don’t use the Grand Lenormand spread and prefer using 3 cards sreads or this one I created.

This is a very deep spread involving harmonizing the inner parts of an individual, and getting rid of negative patterns as well. This is very alchemical involving the fermale, male and shadow aspects of oneself. Everyone has these aspects within themselves, more harmonized they are with oneself better it is. It’s a very big spread, 20 cards I think.

1 – Male aspect.
2 – Querent.
3 – The relationship between them now.
4 – Obstacle.
5 – How to make their relationship better and more harmonious.

6 – Female aspect.
7 – Querent.
8 – The relationship between them now.
9 – Obstacle.
10 – How to make their relationship better and more harmonious.

11 – Shadow aspect.
12 – Querent.
13 – The relationship between them now.
14 – Obstacle.
15 – How to make their relationship better and more harmonious.

17 – Negative pattern to get rid of 2.

18 – What to call forth instead 1.
19 – What to call forth instead 2.

20 – Final Result of the alchemical harmonization.

I made this spread because I’m Wiccan and in a Coven and there are many paths to study but I think it could be used as well for anyone being on their personal path. So Warrior can be replaced by Bard, Healer, Witch, etc.

I wanted to make a dark spread that would fit with the macabre world of the Gothic Tarot by Vargo. Here it is. It can be done with any dark deck you have. I guess this spread could be adapted to fit any unique and atmospheric decks.

8 – How does your Dark Guardian helps you? – this is the tip given by the Dark Guardian to the querent on how to deal with these issues; the Dark Guardian shows here how he/she helps the querent.

Since I do not believe in soul mates, or I should say the concept being thrown around these days that soul mates are all romantic-deep-love-and-commitment-one-in-a-lifetime relationship, I came up with this spread for coming love relationships. This spread will allow you to see possible love relationships, whether they’ll be serious or not. And with this spread you’ll be able to decide if you want to get in these relationships or not. Maybe you don’t want serious, I’m not here to judge!

1 – Who is your coming love interest.

2 – His/her work, job.

3 – His/her quality.

4 – His/her flaw.

5 – His/her look (look on the card to see if there is any character on the card that could give you a clue about hair color per example, suits can give an indication (cups = blond, wands = red/auburn, coins = brown and swords = dark/black per example) and court cards can give a clue about the age as well).

6 – What he/she will think of you the first time you will meet.

7 – What you will think of him/her the first time you will meet.

8 – His/her feelings for you.

9 – Your feelings for him/her.

10 – The strength of your relationship.

11 – The weakness of your relationship.

12 – Love potential in long term.

This spread is to be used when you have suspicion that something is happening in your back and you don’t know what, why and who is involved. It won’t give the person’s name, address and phone number but it gives a detailed reading on the situation.

I tried to make the spread looks like if the querent in the middle is being under attack by arrows, so don’t think it has anything to do with the letter x.
