Dynamic Spreads Deck & Deck of 1000 Spreads

Aeon.of.Horus

Ok So I recently bought the Dynamic Spreads Deck By Bill Reichle.

And

Also The Deck of 1000 spreads

I think they are great tools to work with as I am often stuck for the right spread for certain questions people or myself may want answers to.

I would like to know of anyone else who has made the purchase or either of these toolkits too ?

If so could we set up some sort of study group ?

Looking at different ways that we can use these decks.
Different layouts..

Lets experiment together and see whether it has worked better to design the spreads or if divining the spreads has given deeper meaning to your readings....

Who's up for it ???

one thing i have tried is separating the different sets of cards , so Situation-Outcome-Others-Underlying Influences etc. and shuffling each separate deck and then taking a card from each pile then, when you have one of each, you have the puzzle pieces, its then up to you to put them into place.

Yes Dan that is one of the main ideas of the Dynamic Spreads Deck....
I love spread o mancy too, I feel that to totally randomise your spreads is to truly get the message that spirit is trying to convey across from the otherword....

I like to give a total mix of the "Explore" cards together and then pull one or two from "Theme" around six from "Explore" pile and then finish off with one, two or even three from the "Conclusion" pile
Also even if my clients want to know something in a timescale I still like to randomise, only I separate them into Past / This / Next piles but still mix n pull....

Has anyone else had any experiences with this deck ?

Hi Rodney

Thanks for the links it is nice yo see that there are REVIEWS for these decks available to read and see and compare ....

However I opened this thread to explore the different ways we can use these decks and share experiences that we have had in using them as in real live situations...

I personally have both decks and I want to start experimenting and mixing and matching the two together and bringing it to a whole new level...

I think that they are by no means perfect and there is so much more that can be added and indeed maybe taken away...

So please people keep the feedback coming in if you use either of these decks or indeed as I do both....

Thank you
Aeon

I wrote about ways I use the deck of 1000 spreads on the creator's site. These are my ideas:

http://www.1000spreads.com/2014/01/nemias-discoveries-getting-to-know-card.html

All these are actually exercises to get one or another aspect of tarot under the magnifying glass. I still use the deck that way, especially with new decks that I want to compare or when I meditate about a card or grasp its many aspects.

In addition, I use it for spreads. I have a number of trusted spreads for which I made spread maps some time ago - they're useful, too. But when I design my spread for specific questions (which I do increasingly), then the deck of 1000 spreads helps me to pare down or sharpen the question.

The simple practical addition of having the positions spelled out helps brood over a spread - I just leave it for some hours and return to it. And I always take a picture for my Evernote tarot readings notebook. Very very practical. I can return to the same spread that I created in January and check whether the situation changed in May. Yes, I could write that spread down and sometimes do so, but re-creating it using the do1000s is so much easier and intuitive.

I found the book very useful, too. I have Barbara Moore's excellent about spreads and Trish MacGregor/Phyllis Vega's Power Tarot which is more basic (much space is wasted on card meanings which is done better elsewhere) but which still has some very insightful spreads, sorted according to number of cards.

The three books together really helped me to make better use of the tarot and understand how spreads work, and this in turn made my use of the deck of 1000 spreads more effective.

I like the process of analyzing something (taking it apart) and then putting it together again - just the way I like sorting my decks and then shuffling them again. So I use the deck of 1000 spreads to create a spread - to analyze it - and to read it.

I really like the look also of the second spreadcrafting deck but I'm not sure it's not too much - so many cards, so many options... for a person who has difficulties to decide, it might be a bit too much to choose from... but it looks very interesting.

How do you use the two of them together?
