Spread for spell casting

**WolfSpirit** · 05-10-2002

For those of you who want to write their own spells:
I found in Edain McCoy's Making Magic a spread that may be interesting, the spread tells you whether the spell will be successfull or not:

you draw 10 cards

1 = the need or desire on which the spell is based

2 = the hidden underlying need (the root of your desire)

3 = hidden influences acting on the spell
could be of your inner self, or influences outside your control

4 = influence of others

5 = the spell's weakness

6 = the spell's strength

7 = the inner-world outcome
effect your spell will have in the astral world

8 = the physical world outcome

9 = final outcome

10 = what comes back to you (karmic card)
if you get a negative card here you should look if your spell
could be harmful to anyone

I have not done much spellcasting yest myself, but I think I can learn a lot from this spread.

I would like to hear from all you what you think of this !!

WolfSpirit: Thank you for posting this one! I love learning about new spreads.

But how are the cards positioned in this spread?

**WolfSpirit** · 06-10-2002

The cards are spread in a circle, it's called the The Wheel Divination. But as I did not have space to make a circle I just spread them in a row

I'm sure that's not too bad.

Ahhh... The Wheel Divination. Okay... got it!

Off to copy this one in my journal. I'll definitely give it a try next Esbat. Again, many thanks.

Thank you for this spread Wolfspirit - it is indeed very useful.

I would strongly recommend anyone considering casting a spell first perform a reading regarding the results of doing so and this spread seems custom made for the purpose.

The only real way to take complete responsibility for your actions (such as casting a spell) is to consider the possible consequences.... Indeed a negative result to a reading with this spread is ample reason not to cast the spell.

Definitely a keeper - thanx a bunch for sharing!!

I also think that this would be useful with spells you get from anywhere.
