This spread is intended to answer those “I’m being contacted by a deity but which one!?!” questions. This is your answer. It won’t give a name up it will give up a LOT of information to help you find out the answer.
I’ve been working on this one for what seems like forever. This is a HUGE spread. The kind of spread where you lay out on the floor and hope the cat doesn’t mess up the spread kind of spread. It’s meant to look like a tree with the four cards at the bottom being roots but I am not an artist. I can’t even stick figure well. However, I also gave you two demos of the spread in action!
Special thanks to hellboundwitch and whatever beings were used as testers.
The text is tiny so I’ll copy it below for your convenience.
- Spirit or Significator: This represents the spirit, deity, or being in question. The card can be drawn or selected, depending on if you know the nature of the spirit or a card that could represent them.
- Past: These are past deeds or dealings the spirit has had with either other people or you that you should know about.
- Underlying Influences: Similar to Past, this represents influences that could be important to know. This may be an emotional thing rather than a past action. (Example: if previously betrayed by humans, a spirit is less likely to want to deal with humans.)
- Attitude and Thoughts or General Personality: General personality and/or how they think.
- Present: Their current status. If a spirit is in trouble, this information would appear here.
- Situation at Hand (optional): If there’s a specific situation at hand, draw this card. (Example: A spirit asks for a large offering that would be very expensive - draw this card to see why it suddenly needs that offering.
- Health: The health of the spirit, deity, or being. (Example: A land spirit could be ill or ailing due to pollution.)
- Mind: Their mental health or, possibly, their overall mood.
- Physical: Their physical health or how they could physically manifest. This is especially useful for finding out what deity is contacting you.
- Things They Like to Do: This could be things they like to do for others, part of their sphere of influence, and/or things that could be used to connect with them or honor them. Think of this like hobbies or likes.
- What to Know: Things that are imperative for you to know. This could be used to see how working with this being could affect you in the future.
- What to Avoid: Things that are imperative for you to avoid doing. Example: If a spirit hates blood, don’t give blood offerings. This could also be used to see how the spirit could negatively affect you in the future.
- Positive Influences: What is helpful? What will help your relationship with them? This can be something that is not in the spirit or deity’s sphere of influence but still influences them. A deity might be one of fertility but their sibling could be a deity of war. That will somewhat play into how the spirit acts. Another example would be a spirit becoming powerful because a nearby coven is worshiping it.
- Negative Influences: Exactly as above, but the more negative side of things. What isn’t helping this spirit? What will not help your relationship with them? Do they feel used or not appreciated? The examples above also apply.
- Conscious Desires: What they want. This could be offerings or a general goal. This may be what they want from you. If they have an agenda they’ll admit to, it will be here.
- Unconscious Desires: This is what they want but won’t admit to or what they don’t know they want. If they have a hidden agenda, it will be here.
- Hopes: This can be a general list of hopes, a overall hope for the future, or what they hope to get from you.
- Fears: This can be a general list of fears, what they fear for the future,or what they’re concerned about in regards of you or your life.
For those of you staring wide-eyed at this, I offer this reading in my shop.
Have fun everyone!

REPOST : Roman stylus 70AD, in comon vanacular translates into “i went into the city and all i bought you was this lousy pen” , link and full translation in the comments [640 x 320]
It reads: “I have come from the City. I bring you a welcome gift with a sharp point that you may remember me. I ask, if fortune allowed, that I might be able (to give) as generously as the way is long (and) as my purse is empty.”
In other words: I’m broke, but here’s a pen.

This.
It’s genuinely worrying to me how often white supremacist misogynist dudes have a weird Viking obsession. The Vikings did not agree with you. Stop dragging the Vikings into this.
Right-wingers: We should treat the Muslims like the Vikings did! Me: You mean travel thousands of miles to strike up profitable trade deals with them in their own countries and establish mutually beneficial business arrangements? Right-wingers: Wot?

Me: THOR IS NOT ON YOUR SIDE YOU FUCKING NAZI.

“What do I need to do to relax?” Tarot Spread
1: “What do I need to let go of?” 2: “What would make me happy right now?” 3: “What do I need to get rid of?”
Just a simple three card spread I threw together a while back while sipping tea (okay, it might have been coffee). Thought it was appropriately café themed!
