So, I've got another writing-inspired set of spreads. These ones are about manifestation, but from a different approach. They're based on a 2-part series that I just wrote called "A Study Of Certain Potential", which explores how our thoughts and will shape reality, and how to co-create our own existence. I thought I'd share the spreads here, and in case anyone is interested, I'll also link the series in the comments. If you happen to try the spreads, or you give the document a peek, let me know what you think! 😉👍 Spread 1: Practice Framework: Attention → Intention → Invention Attention 1.

So, I'm a weird one. 😂 I've been a writer my whole life; it's something that really defines in a lot of ways. Poetry is really close to my heart, and last year I wrote one that still speaks volumes for me. Some months ago, I created a tarot spread based on the poem itself. It came out pretty interesting, so I thought I'd share. Equal Ground I've seen strange omens, obscured shapes stark and harsh; Shadows, out of reach, slinking edges of the marsh. Oddly homey, low, wet lands that offer little purchase, With withered trees and skittering things littering every surface. Here's both a sense of longing, and belonging. Though, I, with some surprise, trust my senses not to wrong me. Steeled with words of wiser ones, unwavering in character, I sink into untended soil, stand on shifting earth, Writhe and wade, swaying on my wayward legs between directions, Leaving signs that I have been, little more than impressions. I heave, and leave my ripples in even time and measure, Follow them to shores they lick in a bit of gentle gesture. I climb and clamor, cutting mountains down to manageable height, Raising hills to match horizons, opening my line of sight. With each and every stumbling step, I bend, and brace for landing; But any ground is equal ground, as long as I am standing. Spread: 1. Strange Omens - What signs or synchronicities are trying to guide me? 2. Shadows At The Edge - What fear or uncertainty is just out of view? 3. Longing And Belonging - What part of the unknown actually holds comfort for me? 4. Wayward Legs - Where am I stumbling, and what lesson lies in the misstep? 5. Leaving Ripples - How am I impacting the world around me, even if subtly? 6. Cutting Mountains - What am I removing or redefining to find clarity? 7. Raising Hills - What am I growing or integrating to gain control? 8. Equal Ground - Where can I stand firm, no matter what shifts around me?
