#spreadcrafting

There comes a time in every evil witches practice where a wand becomes necessary. However not all of us can go to fancy wandmakers, and it’s hard to steal a wand from a fairy godmother nowadays. This spread, however, works in place of a wand, for casting a quick curse on the go. 

Every other Sunday your friends at The Cartomancer and The Cards will be hosting #SpreadcraftSunday! You’re invited to join us for spreadcrafting sessions on the server and to share spreads you’ve come up with both in the chat and using the hashtag!

EEE! We did it, guys! Made it to the 10th challenge, our first landmark!

If you’ve managed to do every challenge so far, once you complete today’s challenge, you’re eligible for up to 2 entries into the contest! Just make sure all your challenge posts were tagged with “L.I.A.C.” and when you post today’s, link me into the post - @resonance-of-libra - so I can confirm completion and make you a Star! (P.S. if you missed a few *cough or all cough* challenges so far, you can always play catch up! You don’t have to do all 10 TODAY to be eligible, you just have to finish 10 by month end!)

Enough about that though! Today’s challenge is what’s important! Today, we are going to work in intuitive spreadcrafting! What you’re going to do is shuffle your deck, then put a card down - face down. Then another, and another and another until it feels “right.” Place them however you’re drawn to place them - maybe some are sideways or at an angle, maybe one is floating off away from the main group. Once they’ve been placed, look at your little (or big!) spread and see what it reminds you of - like an ink blot test with a pile of cards! Once you’ve got an idea of what your cards look like, assign placements based on that. “Well, I saw stairs, leading into a basement, and it felt like I was exploring deep into the recesses if my soul. So card 1 is up here at the top of the stairs, and down at the bottom, the lowest card, is what I’ll find. The sideways one I put in between is like a step, something that will lead me deep into my subconscious. And I had a card up away from my stairs - like a light bulb over it all. This will help to illuminate what I find!”

Raven and I are back from hiatus with a fun little workshop on June 26th, starting at 6pm EST.

Ever struggle to create a tarot spread? We've broached this topic before, but we have a fun, new, super simple technique to share with you. Sign up below to get a reminder, or mark your calendar and join us here on the 26th!

NewMoon spread to Evaluate progress and point the way forward.

Cards 1, 2 & 3 - The way shit (negative or positive, just a way to say life/projects/whatever thing) has been shaking out.

Cards 4, 5 & 6 - Adjustments to implement to help

Cards 7, 8 & 9 - Outcome or Advice for keeping shit moving along.

Now while I was developing this spread. I was trying to focus on a specific potion in mind I could use for it. Until It hit me, villains hate being told what to do so why should I form rules for this spread!? 

I’m just going to offer this as a guide of sorts. You can decide what kind of potion or spell you want to use for it.

This could be a blessing, a curse, something that can help you cheat on a mid-term. It can be whatever you wish for it to be!

Brain: Hey...wanna make spreads based on the sigils, in the Wizard's Companion from Ni No Kuni?
