Today is the Winter Solstice and a good time to reflect on the past year and gain insight into the next.....
Using angel, archangel, tarot or any divination cards, here's a powerful tool for you:
The Spiral Spread:
This is a tool to help you gain an alternative perspective on events that are occurring in your life. This spread is to be pulled on the solstices and equinoxes, which mark the beginning of each of the four seasons of the year.
You can use any divination deck that you like.
Before you pull this spread, create a sacred space. Then lay out your spread in a clockwise spiral formation beginning in the centre, like this:
Now you can read each card, applying it to the following references:
1) Essence
The foundation and core lesson you're currently working with. It's the theme that runs throughout the spread.
2) Past
The past may be gone but it often affects the choices we make in the present. Review your accomplishments of the past season and ask yourself if you carry the strengths you've gained, or if the 'should haves' and 'if onlys' are limiting the decisions you make today. Make peace, gather your victories and move forward.
3) Present
This card represents what's occurring in your life right now. Trust your instincts and intuition as you make your choices in the present.
4) Future
Look to this card to find direction for the choices you'll be making in the months to come.
5) Possibility
Imagine tossing a pebble out to the horizon. The pebble represents your goals and dreams; the horizon is the field of unlimited potential. What good fortune! You have a string attached to the pebble, which leads you to the place of realizing those goals and dreams.
6) Blessings
Look to this card for blessings from your allies, ancestors and medicine helpers. When you're still, the wisdom that comes from within brings new dimension to understanding.
7) Synthesis
The culmination of the teachings, lessons and guidance of the spiral are found here. Bringing you the integration of the wisdom offered during the season and the benefits of consciously choosing to do your work. The spiral has no beginning and no end - allow your field of wisdom to expand with each step along your sacred journey.
