The Crown
The Crown is a flexible spread that can be expanded and built upon. It is a spread that allows you to expand on your reading and allows you to ask questions of the reading in an organic way. The Crown spread has a lot in common with the three-card spreads of Tarot and Oracle Cards. The Crown can be used in a lot of different ways, and I’ve included some examples to use as a jumping-off point.
Time
Past 2. Present 3. Future
The Self
Mind 2. Body 3. Spirit
Clarity
Think 2. Feel 3. Do
Looking Inward Diamond
This spread is great for helping you understand yourself, your own motivations, or figuring out what you should do. I find this spread especially helpful when dealing with a specific situation or problem.
1. The Self: What do you need to know about yourself in this situation?
2. The Past: What from the past is relevant to your current situation?
3. The Present: What do you need to be aware of in the now?
4. The Future: The outcome if you stay on this path.
Finding your Way
This is a spread meant to help you when you are looking to start in a new direction.
1. How do I take that first step into the unknown?
2. What obstacles can I expect?
Optional: What action do I need to take to deal with this obstacle?
3. What do I need to bring with me?
Optional: What do I need to leave behind?
4. How do I know I’m going the right way?
