Tarot spread for when people are taking advantage of you or you are being treated like a doormat. 

Too often I try to avoid conflict and make everyone happy at my own expense and sometimes people know they can get away with treating me poorly or will use my tendencies to their advantage. I made this spread to help me assess where maybe “being a team player” is actually letting people walk all over me, and where I need to draw the line. I hope this will help you figure out when and how to say no and how to assert yourself. 

A snake in the grass will rattle to warn you it’s there and will bite if you step on it anyway. 

1. Who/what is holding me down

2. How to retaliate

3. How to stop it from happening again

4. What will change

a tarot spread inspired by the element of water 💧💫

The Seed. a tarot spread for ostara.

1. The Soil.

Where have you grown? While it most certainly is the dawn of a new day, keep in mind your roots are proof that you have already come a long way. The soil is your past. What lesson can you learn from days gone by?

2. The Weed.

You wish to flourish and grow strong, but there is undoubtedly something that is stunting your progress. What are your obstacles, what’s holding you back?

3. The Seed.

Within your immediate future, which area of your life will you first see signs of growth? Which seed has taken hold?

4. The Sun.

The love and support of others is helpful. But the will to grow comes from within. Let the sun be a reminder of what you need to keep in mind in order to help yourself grow.

5. The Rain.

A blessing in disguise. Understand that not all things are always as they seem. Grey skies can sometimes bring you down, but like the sun, rain too is necessary. Through struggle, you will find strength. What blessing in disguise is upon your horizon?

Tarot Spread: Getting to Know a New Deck

This is my little twist on your typical deck interview spread - it’s how I like to conceptualize meeting a deck [spirit]. It can be used to get to know a new deck, or even to get reacquainted with one you’ve had but haven’t spent much time with.
