Spellcasters Tarot Spread
For those of you who want to write their own spells:
found in Edain McCoy's Making Magic a spread that may be
interesting, the spread tells you whether the spell will be
successful or not:
you draw 10 cards
1 = the need or desire on which the spell is based
2 = the hidden underlying need (the root of your desire)
3 = hidden influences acting on the spell
could be of your inner self, or influences outside your control
4 = influence of others
5 = the spell's weakness
6 = the spell's strength
7 = the inner-world outcome
effect your spell will have in the astral world
8 = the physical world outcome
9 = final outcome
10 = what comes back to you (karmic card)
if you get a negative card here you should look if your spell
could be harmful to anyone
