This is my submission for arcanemysteries and ragabashwitch’s #craftaspread contest. I really want to thank them for doing so much for this community. I also want to note that, as always, maddiviner is a side-blog, and my main blog is turnmeintome.
As you can see, this spread is all about Tumblr and how to be a better blogger. The order of turning over the cards doesn’t matter, really, but you should probably turn over the center card last.Â
The first card, going clockwise around the square, is about, well, how to help your followers. People who follow you, and indeed, everyone in the community, deserves your respect, no matter how you feel about their personality or what-have-you. As such, I think we all, to an extent, should do our best. This doesn’t mean pandering or anything, because sometimes unpleasant things need to be said, but in general, I think everyone should try to improve the lives of the people who follow them.
The second card is essentially the opposite of the first. It deals with absorbing information from the people you follow, and learning the lessons they can teach you. We have a very diverse community here, and everyone has something to contribute, so why not explore it to the fullest extent? This card tells you what you can learn, and possibly how.
The third card is exactly what it says: things to avoid. This could range from topics you might be posting about that would inadvertently hurt other people, or even just keeping general negativity and toxic people out of your online life. I can’t think of any toxic people on Tumblr, but people might encounter them elsewhere.
And, of course, the fourth card gets to the meat of it. What kinds of things should you post on your blog? Obviously, it would be silly to let a Tarot reading dictate your queue or anything, but this card should give a good idea of where you should invest your time. Perhaps you should post about magick, or Tarot, or both. It depends on what would be most beneficial for you and the world at large. Hopefully, this card will help you determine that.
The center card is the culmination of the entire thing, and will, in theory, give you a sneak peek at your future life on Tumblr. I hope no one gets The Tower for this, but even if they did, it probably wouldn’t mean a coup de grâce for their Tumblr career.
As queenofchalices said, “May the cards be ever in your favor.” I definitely hope everyone gets something useful out of this spread, and that, even if the cards have a negative tint, the spread is useful for people in their Tumblr divination journey.
I don’t want to sound selfish here, but I’d really like it if y'all liked this post and reblogged it and such, so that I might be able to win the contest. Because, well, who doesn't want to win when competing in something? It’s perfectly natural, and I have no malicious intent.
Anyways, (and I hope this is allowed - if it isn’t, please tell me and I’ll delete it), I’ll soon be posting my own example of the spread in action!
