you know, i started out using celtic cross, mainly because it's the one in all the books and everywhere, and because i could get a good reading done for someone before the end of lunch, but it really isn't in depth enough for me. the spread i use now is the romani one, which is excellent and has worked perfectly for me. this is it, here:
21 20 19 18 17 16 15
14 13 12 11 10 9 8
7 6 5 4 3 2 1
the bottom line is the past, the middle is the present, and the top is the probable future. the three cards down the middle correspond to the most important event or aspect of that time....so, 4 is the most important thing from the past, 11 the most important for the present etc. cards to the left or right of each other relate...so card 1 might relate to card 2, card 4 might relate to cards 3 and 5... the cards on the ends are less important. As i've used this spread, the cards tend to go chronologically from right to left, number one being the first and most distant past. One time i gave a reading and it was something that had happened about a month ago-another time it was a fight this kid had been in his eighth grade year...it's different all the time. Also, each group of cards, at least for me, almost ~always~ have a court card/major coupled with a minor or two to help you read them. The ones down the middle are virtually always majors. this spread tends to work wonderfully, and i like the amount of cards. you should definitely give it a try.
so i was wondering. is there anyone else who thinks that the celtic cross has too few cards? after using the romani so much, it seems so bare-bones to only have one card for everything, with the romani you can have two or three for every concept and get everything worked out in such great detail...does anyone else use big spreads? i would really like to add some more to my own little repertoire here, because as good as the romani is, it'd be nice to know some more. i'm looking specifically for twenty to thirty card spreads. *nods* lol, cheers
