Ah, I didn't think of that either! Lol, thanks!

How well do you think the spread would go with zero knowledge of any past lives?

Hmm... Interesting. When I was copying down that spread I was thinking maybe try to do the reading for a friend first since my mind's so fixed on this supposed past life of mine. While meditating I came across her. I thought at first I ended up making a new thought form through my obsession of Kemeticism. My ex says he talked to her and that she's a past life of mine along with me being a direct decendant of her. Which I have no clue how that is since as far as I know none of my family came from Africa at all.

But I figured do the spread for a friend first hoping to get my mind off this supposed past life so it won't mess up the reading.

Corabella: I don't think it would affect it really. I would almost want to say having no knowledge would be better because then your mind wouldn't try to change the meaning of the card to fit what you already know of that life.

Sang: Did you happen to ask for a certain time period or about information on that past life you already knew about? Or could you just ask for a random one?

Hmmm, never thought of it that way. But I could think of a million circumstances like what I've yet to have any past lives, or what if I've had multiple and get bits of information from each one mixed together in the spread? Guess I'll just have to give it a shot and see.

Now this is just what I believe, but I think everyone has already had multiple past lives. And with that being the case the cards would probably only show one at a time.

Well, damn near anything is possible smile
I just wish I could find the old tarot deck my mom has so I could do the spread. I really am interested, and plan on posting the results. Well, if anything significant happens.

Tried the spread, and it wasn't as difficult as I thought it would be. Made sense for the most part, or so it seemed. Thinking I might try from of the spreads from this site I stumbledupon.

So while we were sitting at Denny's we ended up on the topic of Tarot cuz for some reason I had the feeling that I should take out my tarot deck that I felt like I should bring with me while I was hanging out with my friend's today. I was just sitting there fidgeting with them and my one friend saw the cards and was probably guessing based on size of the deck if they were tarot cards. I said yeah and he wanted to see them so I went to hand him the deck with the cards face up and then he was all I'm not touching those. At first I was like what the hell? You just asked to see them.

Apparently his friends that were really big into tarot and witchcraft told him that black bordered tarot cards tell you the answer straight up nothing you can do about it. What they say will happen happens. An them white bordered cards still give you the chance to change the future. I was sitting there thinking what the hell?

Then he noticed that a few of the cards were bending a bit(and it's a brand new deck I've never really touched it. They're all still in order and what not) cuz I was playing with it and I saw him looking and I said yeah I don't know why exactly its doing that and the one on the bottom that it seems like it cause the other ones to bend is Justice. And he told me I should look into the meaning cuz it's the cards trying to tell me something. I've actually been meaning to do that to see if it was actually that and for some reason I had a feeling that I should. But yeah then we started talking about what deck he wants to get and our other friend jumped in asking how to get like custom ones printed.


And then on the topic of the link Corabella posted. A lot of those spreads I would probably use more for oracle readings since they say use playing cards. But that's just me. Plus I've been trying to look for more spreads that I could use my Clow Cards for. I'm thinking about taking them and my tarot cards with me tomorrow to my friend's birthday party and see if I can get back into the swing of things. I haven't done readings in a good 5-10 months(can't remember if I did a reading after I came back from Florida to see if my cards were mad at me or not).

Black cherries on her lips



}i{ I've used both, and own both, and personally, I prefer my tarot cards. My oracle deck is amazing, and it gives me really in depth looks at things, but it's also more difficult for me to get them to make sense. And by that I mean for what they're saying to be understandable.

My tarot decks work much better for me, and of the two I own, I prefer my faerie deck. It gives me much more in depth readings than my vampire deck, and it's always clear what it's saying. Occasionally, it will play tricks on me or give me random readings that make no sense, but that's only when I'm looking for a certain answer and not being very broad about the reading.

In my experience, the decks that my friends have been given, rather than the decks that they've bought themselves, work much better. That's not to say that it's always like that for all of their decks, but it's the general consensus amongst my group that gifted decks work better for us. }i{

I've been doing one-card draws for people on twitter. They have apparently been gratifyingly accurate so far although having only 140 characters to explain a card makes things tricky.
