Alright, let’s talk about this clarity tarot spread thing. Folks keep askin’ me ‘bout it, so I figured I’d spill what I know. Don’t expect no fancy talk, though. I ain’t got time for that.
So, first off, what’s this “clarity” mean, huh? Well, it’s like when you can’t see straight, you know? Like that fog over the cornfield in the mornin’. Clarity is gettin’ rid of that fog, seein’ things clear as day. And that’s what this here tarot spread helps you do.
Now, these cards, they ain’t magic, mind you. They’re just pictures, like them old Sears catalogs. But they can get your brain thinkin’, get them gears turnin’ so you can figure stuff out yourself. It’s like lookin’ at clouds, sometimes you see a duck, sometimes you see a horse, it all depends on what you’re thinkin’ about.
The thing about clarity is, you gotta keep it simple. No need for a big ol’ spread with a million cards. Three cards is plenty, y’know? Like my grandma used to say, “Keep it short and sweet like a pig’s tail”. One card for the past, what got you into this mess. One card for the present, where you’re at right now. And one card for the future, where you might be headed if you don’t change your ways.
Let’s say you’re all worked up about losin’ your job. You pull a card for the past, and it’s somethin’ like, that Ace of Swords. That could mean you had a good idea, but maybe you didn’t speak up, or maybe you spoke up too loud. See? It gets you thinkin’.
- Card one: The past – What happened? What you did or didn’t do?
- Card two: The present – Where you at now? Confused? Angry? Stuck?
- Card three: The future – Where ya goin’? Gotta change somethin’?
Then the next card, the present, maybe it’s some gloomy lookin’ fella with a bunch of cups spilled all over. That means you’re feelin’ down, feelin’ like you messed up. Well, duh! You lost your job! But the card ain’t just tellin’ you what you already know, it’s makin’ you face it, feel it, so you can move on.
And that last card, the future, maybe it’s somethin’ bright and shiny, like the sun shinin’ on a field of wheat. That means there’s hope, see? Things ain’t always gonna be this bad. But you gotta do somethin’, you gotta plant them seeds, water them crops, work for it. The cards just point the way, they don’t do the walkin’ for ya.
Now, some folks like to do a bigger spread, six cards, they call it somethin’ fancy like “Akashic Record” spread. Sounds like a bunch of hogwash to me, but if it helps ‘em, who am I to judge? The idea is still the same though, you’re just lookin’ at the situation from more angles. Like lookin’ at a cow from the front, the side, and the back. You get a better picture of the whole cow that way, don’t ya?
The main thing is, you gotta ask a question, gotta have somethin’ you wanna figure out. Don’t just go shufflin’ them cards and expect ‘em to tell you what to have for supper. It ain’t a fortune teller, it’s a tool, like a hammer or a hoe. You gotta use it right to get anythin’ done.
So, you pick your cards, lay ‘em out, and look at ‘em. Really look at ‘em. What do the pictures make you think of? What do they make you feel? Don’t try to force it, just let it come natural. And if it don’t make sense right away, that’s okay. Sometimes you gotta let it simmer, like a good pot of beans. The answer will come when it’s ready.
And that’s all there is to it, really. No fancy words, no secret handshakes, just you and the cards, tryin’ to make sense of things. It ain’t gonna solve all your problems, but it can sure help you see ‘em clearer. And that’s half the battle, ain’t it?
So go on, give it a try. You ain’t got nothin’ to lose but a little bit of time. And who knows, you might just surprise yourself with what you find. Just remember, keep it simple, ask a question, and listen to your gut. It’s usually right, even if it don’t always feel like it. Good luck to ya.
