Making A Book of Tarot Spreads

[Bjorn]

But that's the purpose of the book :P But I will share another one after I get some artwork for it, cause I don't know what all I want to do artwork wise for a lot of these lol

Oh, I'll buy it, darling. But you're right :P

I got another one drawn up. This one's called The Mountain Stream. This one's great because it can be used for just about any situation where you've got issues about both short and long term issues and what can be used towards your advantage for change. Its got a single time line that branches out into several possibilities.

1. The distant past, and the foundation of the issue at hand, as well as the reason why it's so important to the here and now.
2. The recent past and any events which have helped set the events in motion
3. The state of the situation at the time of the reading
4. Reflection of the present state or a show of what kind of changes are currently taking place
5. The Short term future, if nothing changes
6. The long term future if nothing changes
7. A possibility for change or another option that can be taken
8. The long term future of the situation-if the change thats described in #7 is taken
9. A second possibility for change
10. The long term future if the change in #9 is taken instead

If you're only worried about the short term over the long term you can remove cards 1, 6, 8, and 10 if you want a more localized spread.

Okay, so now that the holidays are over and I'm not swamped with commissions and whatnotz and I'm able to go back to the stuff for fun/that will eventually make me money....

what kinds of spreads would you guys like to see me work on adding art to next for the book I'm working on?

Choices include stuff like the Celtic Cross, zodiac spread, "nighttime forest stroll", "two paths in the garden", chakra spread, "x" lover and things like that

"Nighttime forest stroll" This one I have never heard of, I'd love to see that one.

[Yorin]

Mkay, I'll work on that in the next few days. Left that sketchbook at home cause it's a big one

[Yorin]

So since it was suggested, here is the graphite/sketch work up for Nighttime Forest Stroll.

This one is about facing your fears and realizing what you need to know, whats fake, and what you can do about it. You'll see why I did the background the way I did when you see what each of the cards means

1. What you need to know most about what you fear
2. What aspect of your fear is real
3. How you can combat it
4. What aspect of your fear is an illusion
5. How you can banish the illusion
6. What you fear the most
7. How you can overcome it
8. What you will learn by overcoming this fear
