Okay, so today I wanna talk about this Lammas tarot spread thing I did. I got into this whole tarot reading stuff a while back, and it’s been pretty interesting, to say the least. Lammas, or Lughnasadh, whatever you wanna call it, is this old harvest festival. I thought, why not try a special tarot reading for it?
So, I got my tarot deck out. I’ve got the Rider-Waite Smith one, the classic. I started by shuffling the cards, focusing on the Lammas vibe – you know, abundance, gratitude, and all that. I laid out a three-card spread. I heard somewhere that it’s a common thing, and it’s supposed to represent “body, mind, spirit” or “past, present, future.” Sounded cool, so I went with it.
- First card: The Body or the Past. I pulled out a card and thought about what I’ve been harvesting in my life recently. Not just actual harvest, but, like, achievements, you know?
- Second card: The Mind or the Present. This one was about what’s going on in my head right now, my current thoughts and all that jazz. I tried to connect it with the whole idea of gratitude that’s big with Lammas.
- Third card: The Spirit or the Future. This card was supposed to give me a hint about what’s coming up, how to nurture my growth, that kind of thing.
I remember pulling The Empress for one of them. It’s a card I’ve been thinking about a lot lately. It’s all about nature and fertility, which fits with the Lammas theme. Plus, The Empress is linked to the number three, which apparently means creativity and growth. It all seemed to tie together nicely.
Doing the Reading
I sat down in my usual spot, lit a candle, you know, to set the mood. It’s not just about pulling cards; it’s the whole ritual that makes it special. I took some deep breaths, shuffled the deck, and started laying out the cards one by one. For each card, I took my time to really look at the images, the symbols, and what they mean to me. It felt like I was having a conversation with myself, in a way.
Reflecting on the Cards
After I pulled all three cards, I just sat there for a while, looking at them, and thinking about what they could mean in the context of Lammas. It was a moment of reflection, you know? Thinking about what I’ve accomplished, what I’m thankful for, and where I’m headed. It’s like the cards were giving me a little roadmap or something.
Wrapping It Up
When I felt like I had soaked in enough, I carefully put the cards back into their box. It felt good, like I had done something meaningful. This whole Lammas tarot spread thing wasn’t just about predicting the future or whatever. It was more about connecting with myself and the season, recognizing the abundance in my life, and feeling grateful for it. It’s like a little personal ceremony that I think I’ll keep doing. It just feels right, you know?
So yeah, that was my Lammas tarot spread experience. It’s kind of a personal thing, but I thought it was worth sharing. Maybe it’ll inspire someone else to try it out. It’s not every day you get to mix ancient festivals with some personal reflection and a deck of cards.
