copperbadge: So, a few weeks ago, on a quest for something else, I tripped over the concept of the 78-card Tarot spread. For those who aren’t into Tarot, the standard deck has four suits of 14 cards each that comprise the Minor Arcana plus 22 extra “face” cards that comprise the Major Arcana, so a 78-card spread would use every card in the deck, which is a trifle unusual in my experience. There are apparently a couple of full-deck spreads floating around out in the ether, but the ones I looked at weren’t satisfying to me for various reasons – perfectly decent on their own, but none of them quite what I was looking for. I had been startled by the very idea of a full-deck spread, but once I looked around I decided it would be interesting to try and make one of my own.I sat down and drafted out a chart (the hand-drawing in this post is the final drafting of that) and built up a structure around it. For the past week or so I’ve been shuffling and writing and preparing to give the reading a test-run. Now that I have (and it was very interesting reading), I’m ready to unleash it on the world in time for Halloween – or Samhain, or All Saints, or All Souls, or Dia De Los Muertos, or whichever Veil Is Thinnest Oh Shit Light The Candles holiday you prefer. You can read more about the spread, including an explication of how to read it and a few variances on the reading, at the link below. I hope you all enjoy it and have fun with it.
