A reading facing the sea

When you’re sitting on the beach with a tarot deck, especially this one, or whenever you feel called by or in need of the sea energy.

1/ Message from the sea, the spirit of the place,…

2/ The waves crashing on the beach. What keeps coming back in my life.

3/ Something to release, exhale, send back for it to get lost in the sea?

4/ The wind on your face helping you to be present in this instant.

A reading for the Inner Fire

On the Spacious Tarot wands cards, magic seems to take over landscapes. Like inner fire meets cosmic forces.

1/ The Inner Fire currently

2/ Wood: Fuelling the Fire. How can I nourish my flame?

3/ Barrier: Protecting the Fire. How can I ensure my flame lives on despite energy waste or external threats?

4/ Intent: Directing the Inner Fire. Which areas need my flame’s focus now?

5/ Sparks: The Inner Fire glows around. How can it fulfil me or others? How can I use it purposefully?

A reading in the forest

Whenever you’re in the forest or want to access the forest within you.

1/ Soil: What are my nutrients? My essentials? What do I need to grow?

2/ Howls in the dark: What ancestral wisdom is on its way to me? What are whispering spirits (plants, stones, deities,…) around me?

3/ Shelter: Where can I find refuge and nourishment whenever I need it?

4/ Gift: How can I honour this place? How can I live a sustainable life?

Crow wisdom reading

A spread inspired by The Spacious’ swords “court cards”.

1/ Explorer of swords: When am I too harsh? When am I overreacting? What could use more compassion and patience?

2/ Child of swords: What mental activity needs more focus from me? What am I eager to learn? What new area does my mind crave to explore?

3/ Elder of swords: What message can I deliver to the world? In what field is my perspective useful to guide others? How can I use the knowledge I’ve already built?

4/ Guardian of swords: How can I use my brain to lovingly ground myself? How can I use my intellect in service of my feelings and healing process?
