Hiya everyone! Ive just found spreads for the whole of the major arcana! So Thought it would be really great for us to go through and learn and discuss them all (more coming later!) :D
Try this out on yourself, your friends or the Victim list here and post your insights and veiws on the spread up here!
This first one is kind of like Dagda's Door of Perception spread for a question.

Fool Spread
This spread is to help you recognize your fears in a new situation, to help you learn

Shuffle the deck and lay out the cards as above.

Card 1: This card represents you, your attitude, innocence, naivete, your inexperience in this situation.

Card 2: This card represents that upon which you have always relied, the solidity of the past that you may have to leave now. This card is certainty and routine and the familiar.

Card 3: This card represents the risk you have to take, the first step into the unknown, whether large or small.

Card 4: This card represents your fears, which can be real or imaginary, grounded in the reason of the situation or founded in panic.

Card 5: This card represents the unknown, what you have to gain, the learning you will come by, the experience and maturity that can be had, the life you can be living.

That's a cool idea- a spread for each of the majors. I like spreads that deal with specific probs. It's when I tend to go to the cards the most. I can tell that I'm very content if I haven't picked the cards up in a while. Just human nature I guess :) !
Now that's an interesting layout! I'm used to seeing them more in a symmetrical design, but that Fool, he's a wanderer ;) !

Yeah I thought that too ~ why is the 3rd card a bit slanted and does it make a difference? I havent tried this one out but when I do (with my new deck!) I will post my findings!
Have fun asking your questions :D

Funny, I looked at the spread, and thought, "how fitting for the 'Fool'"! I think it has to do with the chaos that is present with every new journey/beginning. :D Don't know where you are going....beginning to plan and see your way to the end of a goal....that kind of thing. <shrugs shoulders> that's just my impression though. :D

That is so right Dagda! :D
Heres my chaos! (for to start advertising with my business..)

1) Page of Swords (Thought) ~ He is me, always thinking (probally) far too much and weighing all the situations and research up before I embark.
2) 7 of Discs (Prudence) ~ Just got this as my family! & I am used to it ~ comfort and stability, thats why Im thinking about Advertising as a risk (will it be profitable) and trying to decide whether to take the risk..
3) 9 of Discs (Gain) ~ Got this one too!! This is the risk ~ will I earn more money or will I loose money but gain publicity?..
4) Queen of Swords (Imagination) ~ Although I want my busines to grow becasue I have that drive.. i dont aswell because I have a busy life as it is, and if its getting me by why do I need more? Art aswell is a big questions for me becasue I am missing it so much and want to go back to do a MA.
5) 6 of Cups (Nostalgia) ~ The unknown..hmm this card is that to me!! I cant think how this fits other than maybe I can do both, leanr from both and gain. Ultimately my emotions of a home, family and a loving husband take over so maybe that this...
