Hi all,
yesterday I`ve read the fairytale “The little match girl” by Hans Christian Andersen and its sad story inspired me to this spread. If one of you doesn`t remember the story you can re-read the fairytale here:

I think it will be helpful in stressful times when we need to reduce that stress and don´t know how (Christmas time for instance, as in the fairytale) and when we are stuck in a situation and see no way out.
The spread`s pattern is that of the little girl sitting in the corner between two houses.
..4............7.
..5.....3.....6..
.........2........
.........1........
1 The winter`s cold or the poverty. What situation tries to get you down?
2 The father threathening smacks. What dreads you?
3 The corner between the two houses. What shelters you?
4 The hot oven. What warms you?
5 The pleasant-smelling roasted goose. What nourishes you?
6 The Christmas tree and the presents in the warm room. What pleases you?
7 The grandmother, taking the girl`s hand. Who helps you?
I haven`t tried out this spread yet. And I would use a deck with a joyful atmosphere (as the fairytale plays at the last day of the year, Silvester) or with a sad or darker atmosphere.
I`m open to any suggestions. Hope you like it.
Blessings, Astraea Aurora
