I’m going to do a spirit/tarot reading using a new method I’ve been developing using the occult tarot deck by Travis McHenry. This is inspired by his instructions but ive taken the liberty of modifying this to suit my needs and taste.
Using this method I can identify individual spirits at key points and then interact with them to make changes to what I’m seeing.
Let’s do an example of my forcast for the next 4-6 weeks.
Preliminary
Honor Prince Orobas and call on him for an accurate reading.
Shuffle the deck X3, cut into 3 piles, tap three times and cut once and draw.
Card one:. This denotes my general energies surrounding me and my query. It also shows me what spirit will act as my guide for this matter.
Glaysa labolas: 7 of wands
I interpret this as “faith overcomes my obstacles and my goals are within reach. First consider the consequences of my actions and swiftly act to seize the moment”
Card two
This card shows me what spirit is in opposition to my agenda and what obstacles I can expect to see during this time.
Bathin : the knight of wands
Beware of acting on impatience, and beware the falsehoods and white lies of others.
Card three my near future
Aim: 5 of cups
Beware things may not be as they seem, guard against deception. Handle unfinished business promptly.
Card four
What I need to do to advance my agenda.
Vual: three of wands
Use my talents to thier best effect and combine my work with that of friends to advance my cause.
Card five
Energies leaving my life
Bael: the emperor
This is interesting because I just finished a period of close mentorship working with King Bael. Additional divinitory meanings include: a period of planning and allocating resources to a specific cause has ended.
Card six
A spirit ally willing to assist me in my agenda and the results he can bring me.
Phenex: the queen of cups
I absolutely adore marquis Phenex. I’m super glad she/he is willing to be my ally here. I should also be on the look out for a strong, matronly woman that has my interests in mind.
Card 7
A representative of myself and the heart of my agenda.
Queen Beleth: knight of cups
Joyful times, a break from responsibility, relaxation, pleasurable pursuits.
Card 8
A spirit on the periphery that may be willing to assist me.
Marax: page of pentacles
This could indicate Abit of luck with finances I’m the near future. Most excellent. I was just talking about Marax yesterday too.
Card 9
The best or worst I can hope for
Asmoday: King of wands
Success with navigating complex situations. A personal warning not to excessively indulge in intoxication.
Card 10
The spirit that I must honor to have the best possible outcome.
Ronove:8 wands
All of my plans have a green light. Move forward.
Ok this reading is overall quite positive. I’ve noted there are quite a few wands present. Five exactly and three cups. This indicates to me there may be a slight bit of friction moving forward but these are small minutiae issues easily resolvable.
The next step after the reading is finished is I honor the spirits in opposition ( card 2 Bathin) card six my ally Phenex and card 10 ronove.
To do this I take out thier seals and light a piece of incense for them and thank them for thier assistance and ask that they not oppress my agenda with opposition.
I’ve tried this method several times and I’m having excellent success with it. I expect the method will change and evolve over time but so far so good.
@sailing this is the hybrid reading method I mentioned I was developing when we had that occult tarot thread a couple months ago.
I’m definitely aware the method is unorthodox but I’m going to continue experimenting with it. I think it has potential.
