New "Quickie" Oracle Spread

[wetsheep1]

I've always had a lot of "jumpers" when I read -- cards that leap out of the deck as a signal that the shuffling's over with and the deck is ready. But lately, a lot of those leapers have landed crosswise instead of perpendicular to me, so I was having trouble figuring out how to read them. And then, this spread just occurred to me:


******4*********1***********3
****************2

Card #1 is the "leaper" that came out sideways instead of up-and-down; it represents the situation that crosses you right now.

Card #2 lays on top of #1, and represents your attitude towards the situation. (So, instead of a typical cover-and-cross where the up-and-down card is on the bottom, here it's on the top.)

Card #3 represents what you've been doing to get where you are in this situation.

Card #4 is the change or action you ought to consider to achieve your goals in this instance.

This spread is great for pinpoint readings regarding stuff that's blocking you, or just crud that's been hanging around too long that you haven't really done anything about but need to. It's kind of a "sick and tired of being sick and tired" spread, when it's time to surrender whatever it is that's sticking in your craw and do the next right thing -- but you're having trouble figuring out exactly what the next right thing is!

Let me know your thoughts!

[Umbrae]

I think this rocks.

Quick and to the point. Its hard to find good, short spreads. I'll give this one a try.

I'll have to try this, I'm always getting cards flinging themselves at me from the deck lol - Usually I take a quick look and put them back into the deck but I think next time I'll use your spread :)

[wetsheep1]

Glad you like it!! Let me know how it works for ya......

I just wanted to say thanks to wetsheep1 for posting this spread a while ago. My Faeries' Oracle always has tons of jumpers so I'll be using this spread very soon! :)

Wow! This does seem like an almost surgical spread, very quick and sharp.

It really is a kind of a "surgical strike." I've found that usually the "leapers" are stuff I'd rather ignore for one reason or another...and what the cards are trying to tell me is that they're about due to hit me straight square in the tookus if I don't pay attention and deal with them NOW.

I have to admit, though, my deck is pretty brutally honest: it doesn't always tell me what I want to hear, but it's always what I need ;) Funny how that works, eh? :D

Take good care :)

Howdy Wetsheep... I don't get many "leapers" (when I first read this I thought you'd written "lepers" - glad I was wrong... ;) ). However this looks like a good spread to use in those instances... will give it a try the next time it happens. Thanks!

I was looking for another thing and managed to find this one, I believe it deserves to be bumped so more people learn it. Great little spread!

Well thank you so much for bumping it, Flavio! I love this!
