ankh spread---


a note to sullanciri2002--

in another of his books, "journey of the hero", banzhaf creates an ankh by placing the world atop the hanged man. if you've got the rider deck, check it out... it makes an interesting contemplation piece. maybe this'll help in your development of an ankh spread.

5 . Higher perception - shows what we know to be the truth in our higher awareness.

6. Necessary conclusions - shows what events had inevitably to transpire based upon the attitudes prevalent in the previous five cards. In most cases, the event this card portrays is readily apparent to us because it had a direct impact on our sphere of awareness.

Wordy, eh!
Thanks Mooncat- wow, very well said, that has helped me alot.

Cheers

Actually, it wasn't me who said it - it was a direct quote from wherever I got it from - made me laugh because I'm sure there was an easier way to express the meaning. I had to read it about six times before it made sense.

Blessings to all

Wink My personal variation


this is a mix of what I'd been working on and the Ankh discussed here


5 6

3 4

1 S 2

7

8


S=significator (vertical)
1( horizontally)= current energies at work/upholding the
problem or crisis
2(horizontally)= recent events that "triggered" the
actual "crisis"
3&4 (diagonal)= karmic factors playing a major part in
this situation
5&6 (diagonal)= possible/likely outcome if 7&8 are
taken into account/acted upon
7&8 (vertical)= warnings or focus points/ directing us to
possible avenues to approach the prob

cards 3-4-5&6 are diagonal, together they form a square
standing on one point


reactions and ideas please

Talking oooops


something went wrong with the schematic

the square formed by 3to6 has its point centered above S

and 7&8 are directly underneath S

Talking bottom half looks correct ...


but the four cards on top have to be seen
- as a square standing with one corner above the S
- with the four cards beÏng the sides (not the corners) of the
square (they are positioned diagonally)

the eyes need some candy too - he said cryptically (or at least tried to)

I've used the Ankh spread. It's great, but it takes up a LOT of room, which is it's only downfall. But then again, I'm a sucker for huge spreads. My friend Katie and I do a full Tree Of Life Spread with a card for ALL the Sepherots (Including the Da'At) and joining lines. It takes up about 6 feet.
