The Principle Matter Spread (PMS)
Layout
P .. 2 .. 3
4 .. P .. 6
7 .. 8 .. P
The PMS spread is both a tarot spread and a card learning exercise.
Concentrate on the question while shuffling and cutting. Deal out one (1) card. This card is the Principle or Primary card. Set it in front of you and concentrate on this card as you again shuffle and cut your deck.
Excellent Idea: Do this if you have two (2) more tarot decks. It helps, and can be very insightful to take the principle/primary card out of two (2) other decks and set them out in front of you in the following manner.
P ...........

After the second shuffle and cut deal out the cards filling in the rest of the positions.

The primary or principle card will show up three (3) times in the spread, at positions 1, 5, and 9. Here are the general position meanings.
1, 2, 3 - The MME States
Position #1: The Seekers mental state
Position #2: The Seekers motivational state
Position #3: The Seekers emotional state
4, 5, 6 - The Challenge(s)
Position #4: Challenge and stress factors
Position #5: The Initial/Main Challenge
Position #6: Outside challenge and stress factors
7, 8, 9 - The Summation
Position #7: Integrating Factors
Position #8: Best possible outcome
Position #9: Empowerment Factors
Using the same card in each row can be very challenging and at times very difficult since this card is the seekers 'mental state', 'the main challenge', and the 'empowering factors'.
