A tarot spread is a layout of cards with assigned positions and meanings. Spreads are a great way to start to learn how to create stories from your readings because the meanings are already laid out for you. You assign the card’s meaning to the question listed for that card’s position.

The How To:
1. Start with a cleansed tarot deck or oracle deck.
2. Shuffle the cards. If you read with jumpers, assign the cards to the spots in the order they fall out of the deck. If you would rather pull cards, pull from the top and lay them out in the arrangement shown by your chosen spread.
3. Read the cards as usual, pulling clarifying cards as needed.
4. Journal it all out so you can keep track of your practice and your self-development.
