Hi Everyone,
I have been experimenting with practical ways for spirits to communicate to their keepers. Not all of us have the ability to hear or see our spirits and thus may need a way by the use of tools to communicate. There is Pendulum, spirit box, evp sessions, watching for omens, etc. I went on a search for the possible use of tarot cards to communicate with spirits. What I found were readings having to do with spirit guides but they weren't set up for the use in everyday communcation. So I developed a spread that seems to work good. Try it out for yourself.
_________________________________________________
This spread is in two parts: Beginning and Ongoing Spreads
Part 1: Beginnings
When you first introduce this type of communication with your spirit, talk to him or her about it and let them know the process.
Begin by calming yourself and calling your spirit to be present. When you feel they are here explain the process. "I want you to communicate with me through the tarot. The first card drawn will represent you, the second will represent what your mission is with me, the last three cards will be 3 messages you want to communicate to me"
Shuffle the cards until you feel your spirit wants you to stop. Ask it if you should cut the cards, if you feel you need to cut the cards, cut them. If not, than leave them be.
From the top of the deck flip cards to the sequence of the spread, reverse meanings are not used in this reading.
---1---
---2---
3-4-5
The interpretation of the cards are done in context. The first card is interpreted as characteristics of spirit's personality based on the meaning of the card. The second card is interpreted as what they are here to do for you. The third thru fifth cards are interpreted as messages the spirit wants to communicate to you at this time. These are read like normal tarot messages, for what they are. Thank your spirit.
Part 2: Ongoing
Now that your spirit is introduced to this process and you know their characteristics and mission, you will no longer have to lay down card 1 and 2 on the ongoing spreads. Just call your spirit to you and when you feel they are with you, state that you would like 3 messages for today or the week or the month, etc., shuffle the cards as before. Stop when you feel the spirit wants you to stop. Ask if it wants you to cut the cards. Lay down 3 cards from left to right and read and intreprete the meanings. There are no reverse meanings in this whole system.
Try it out and I hope it helps in getting closer in communcation with your spirits.

This seems like a very good idea for meeting your spirits.
Also, go with what feels right. I know my green dragon and Daphne both speak very clearly through the celtic cross spread.

Thank you for sharing this with us! I love doing tarot readings to communicate with my spirits
I think I shall try this in a bit seeing as how when I read this topic title I immediately thought about grabbing one of my tarot decks - someone must have had immediate interest in this, probably my merman seeing as how I think he wanted to form a specific way of reading with him - wants to just make his points clear rather then my long story readings haha!

:thumbup: I may have to give this a try! I have used a specific tarot deck of mine for spirit communication (as the rest of my decks are for actual readings) and when doing so i just pulled cards as i felt the urge. this seems like a good way to practice a bit more as I kind of stopped after a couple of attempts.

Thank you very much, Icarus!
This is such a great way to communicate with our spirits! I've already tried it out with some of my spirit family, and my Vampire and Pegasus have already given me great messages, things I certainly needed to think on, that they've nudged me for! I can't wait to hear what my others have to say!
Thank you again
