Which Witchy Witch?

It’s a Very Late Almost Sunday Saturday Spread!

Because I totally forgot today was Saturday and was really busy with stuff.

Anyway! This is a Letting go of the Past spread. It is very different from other spreads because guess what? YOU GET TO CHOOSE A CARD.

If there is an issue, such as a past relationship, employment, or just some sort of emotion you want to move past, you can choose it! Simply go through the Major Arcana cards (the first 22), and choose the card that best fits the situation. For some instances, there will be many types of cards to chose from. Then you shuffle the deck and deal the other four cards as normal.

It’s time for Saturday Spreads! This week I’m going to be bringing a larger spread to the table. (Excuse my terrible art skills, the Five is supposed to be aligned with the three, how the 4 and 7 are.)

Anyway! This spread is called Who I Am and Where I’m Going. It can be used as a daily practice, though I feel it might get redundant. It is meant to help you explore yourself a little more thoroughly.

Card One: This is who I am now. (Qualities or such that you may or may not see). Card Two: This is what I don’t know about myself. (These could be hidden qualities that you also do not see.) Card Three: This is what I need to relinquish. Card Four: This is what I need to develop. Card Five: What I’d love to become. Card Six: My Current Quest Card Seven: Where it will lead. (Possible outcome).

The Household Spread is based on the imagery of the Tower. Not necessary “XVI - The Tower”, but the more general symbolism of a tower. Thanks to tarot we may have a very negative association with towers, but they’re meant to be symbols of strength, power, and strongholds. Towers keep you safe, protected, and give you a view over your life and land. (You can read more of my thoughts about towers here!)

I like to read with this spread at regular intervals, just to check in on the goings on of my home and the people within it, but if there’s a particular issue coming up in my house then I will also use this spread as needed.

Card 01: What You Let In

Think of this as the energy that you’re inviting into your home. Here you can make sure that what is coming into your home is what you want hanging around, and it’s also a good spot to check in on wards and protections.

Card 02: What’s Missing

This element or energy is not present in your home. Use your own judgement to find if you need this energy or not — if there’s no strife or conflict present, then that’s generally a good sign. But if peace and joy are gone, then you might need to do some work.

Card 03: What You Let Out

This is what you let escape or send out from your home. Again, this may be a good thing or a bad thing. I see this card as something that is actively being thrown out from the home, but it can also mean things that are leaking out without you noticing it.

Card 04: The Attack

This is what causes your home to feel attacked or unhappy, if you’re feeling any discomfort there. If things are going well, consider this to be a potential weakness or vulnerability. 

Cards 5-7+: Occupants

Throw one card for each of the occupants of your home to check in on their current state of mind and being. If there are any problems going on with members of your family, you can spot them here, and also if they’re CREATING any problems. This is a good way to figure out the source of any issues in a home if you’re not sure who is responsible.
