Caring For My Soul Spread

After reading a thread in Spirituality, I was inspired to come with this spread.

Caring For My Soul Spread by Glass Owl (9)

1+2+3
+++++
4+5+6
+++++
7+8+9


1+2+3 What brings out the best in me? (What nourishes my soul?)

4+5+6 What brings out the worst in me? (What can be damaging to my soul?)

7+8+9 What will help me be the "best me" I can be? (What tools or actions will help me take better care of my soul?)



EDIT: I've also come up with a 3 card version of this spread.


Caring For My Soul Spread by Glass Owl (3)

2-1-3

In my current situation:
1. What brings out the best in me?
2. What brings out the worst in me?
3. What will help me be the "best me" I can be?

Do I read each card individually, or is card 1+2+3 suppose to be read like a sentence?

You could do it either way.

When I did a test run of it, I read them first as individuals. But then I could also see how they could fit together... using the middle card as the foundation/core.

This was fun. I read with so many different decks, quite often my take has nothing to do with the 'norm'.
But this week I'm reading with a deluxe delicious original Rider-Waite and the cards just shouted at me . In the norm, it was a nice change from my normal tangents. Sometimes coming back home is good for the soul.

Thank you for sharing.

I am so glad that this spread helped you connect with your Rider-Waite. I haven't used mine in a very long time, it may be time for me to dig that one out. This spread really does feel like one that should be used with a treasured, well loved deck, doesn't it?

And yes, when I laid out these cards they shouted at me too. Especially the second line of cards.

I like this one alot, I'll be trying it out!

Today I used this spread with only 3 cards for a particular situation and it was very helpful.

Great spread! I just used it and found it very helpful. Thank you!

great!

Thanks again, Glass Owl! I just did this spread with a pretty specific question regarding my own personal development and the cards are shaping up to be incredibly helpful and concrete in their answers.
