I just went to the mail box and there was a box in there from Llewllyn. I hadn't ordered anything so what was this? I opened it to find an autographed copy of Tarot and Dream Interpretation by Julie Gillentine. I won 2nd place in the Llewellyn tarot spread contest! I had entered so long ago I forgot.

My spread will be featured in the Nov.-Dec. Llewellyn catalog. They also asked my permission to use my spread in a book being written for a new deck their publishing in Oct. of 2004. As a thank-you they are sending me the deck and book. Also my name will appear in the credits.

Nobodys home, Nobodys home! and I'm jumping up and down.
Who can I tell? Who can I tell?
So I thought of all of you....

They didn't tell me the name of the deck ,but I'm going to ask when I call back.

Oh thanks for all your kind congrats. Of course Id love to post my spread. This spread came about out of my frustration at not finding a daily spread that met my needs. So its very simple but here goes.

5 cards

1. Work- This card gives you a peek into your workday. Stay at
home or out in the world it shows the joys or challenges
you might face today.

2. Home- This card shows your home life. Moods of husband,
children, pets. Visitors, deliveries, events. Anything
that happens in and around the home.

3. Unexpected- Just that, those little surprises life throws you
just to keep things interesting.

4. My role- This card usually very accurately perdicts my mood,
action, or reaction to things that go on in my day.

5. Outcome- The outcome of my day if I follow on the path as it's
spread out before me. Of course I always have the
choice to change my mood or action to alter the
outcome for the better or worse. This card also
often predicts a lesson learned or an inner
spiritual revelation.

I lay this spread out in a cross shape with the outcome card in the middle. Position 1 on the left. 2 on the right. 3 on top 4 on the bottom.
I've used it almost every morning for three years. And I journal my readings.

Barbara Moore at Llewellyn wrote me a very nice letter. She said although my spread was simple in design it won because if it's usefulness to the reader. As an excellent tool for daily divination and for learning subtle nuances of the card meanings.
