Mini readings at an event spread?

Syrinx · 10-05-2010

I am going to be sitting at an event and am looking for some spreads to use for 15 min sessions, especially when the client doesn't have any specific questions. I got my butt kicked the first time I did a group reading and tried using the CC over and over again. This really didn't work for me. I am usually comfortable making up my own spread on the spot but was so drained by the group and wasn't connecting to Source with the ease I am used to.

So...I am looking to have some backup spreads leaned, just in case.

Ideas?

Thank you in advance!

Hello!
I do not know if you are familiar with the book Tarot Tells the Tale, but in there you may be able to find a bunch of 3 card spreads. The author even has categorized them. I hope this helps you. Blessings,
Zelmira

Yes, I agree with Syrinx, Glass Owl, you really rock with your ideas!

The first one that caught my eye, besides the fact that it was the very first one that you listed, is this:

"Eowyn's Stroke Of Good Luck Spread
1. Which is going to be your next stroke of luck?
2. How will it happen?"

For myself, I would add one more question to make this spread more effective, and that would be:

3. What is the obstacle that I need to look at that may stop this from happening?

No offense, Eowyn, because I love your spreads!!!
