Ok, let's talk tarot spreads! What is a spread? A spread is predetermined card positions with assigned meanings or questions for each card pulled for each position. As a beginner, should you even use a spread? Can't you just pull some cards and try and read them together? You can.... But, in order the break the rules you need to know the rules first. (Picasso) And parameters actually force creativity, not constrain it! (I learned this the hard way in art school!) When you're bound by the spread, you're forced to read within the bounds of the meanings of the positions of the cards and the predetermined questions. This makes you think, it makes you question, it forces you to be quiet and let your intuition have a chance to poke it's head out. This is how you learn to tell a story. This is how you learn to weave the cards together cohesively. Can it be hard? Yes. Can it be frustrating? Yes. But you have to practice. Practice. Over and over again. Sorry. 🤣 But you do need to practice strategically. In a way that will build skill. And yes, reading tarot is more skill than intuition! (Bet ya didn't see that coming!) Wait, what? Yes, it's about 90% skill and only about 10% intuition. Think about it. Let's use myself as an example. I'm an artist. I'm a good artist if I say so myself. I have work in a museum show right now. I just got juried into a new arts association. So, I got some skills. (Girls like guys with skills🎬🤣) Now was I born an amazing artist? Did I come out of the womb with the ability to paint the way I do now? Nope. I was born with about 10% innate talent. That's it. That's what most talented people are born with. And all of us are born with intuition. About 10% innate intuition. So, how did I get the other 90% of my talent that allowed me to get where I am now? I freakin practiced. Like, a lot. I mean a lot. Do you know how many naked people I've drawn or the same damn still life I've drawn, over and over and over again? 100's, maybe 1000's.
