Im not entirely sure if this should go here or in the Using Tarot Cards section, but i figured people who frequented this part of the forum might be more likely to know the answer.
I am relatively new to tarot, practing for only a few months. But the first spread i ever did for someone was a Tree of Life spread, mainly because he asked for 'the biggest most complicated spread i knew' so i gave it a go. I had to look at my book that came with my deck (Tarot of Vampyres by Ian Daniels) the entire way, but i he said i was quite spot on with it, and it has become my favorite spread, if its appropriate for a given situation. I typically use it to assess the energies surrounding or being used by a particular person/thing/event at a specific moment, kinda like a snap shot.
But i am slowly finding out that this spread is far more complicated than i thought it was. My understanding of the Sephiroth might be exaggerated if i call it rudimentary, i dont really know anything about the paths between the Sephiroth, aside from that Daniels said each path is goverened by one of the Major ARcana, and i am hearing something about the sephiroth being divided into four based on the letters of the tetragrammaton? I find it all mildly confusing, as i havent started studying kabbalah yet.
Any help, guidance, corrections and/or pointers i could get in using the Tree of Life as a spread would be greatly appreciated
