There has been some interest in seeing how this spread works in action, so I decided to do an example reading with it. The question involves a planned relocation to the other side of the State to be near family members, and one of the options we're considering is moving into a town that has … Continue reading A “Melting Pot” Example Reading

A Summit Scenario
The summit meeting between the United States and the People's Republic of North Korea is set to kick off in less than an hour. Rather than listen to the talking heads jabber about it, I figured I would do a reading using my "Enemy at the Gate" vulnerability spread to see which side comes away … Continue reading A Summit Scenario
A “Twist of Fate” Example Reading
Here is an example of how to read the "Twist of Fate" spread I posted last night. I used my favorite "take-no-prisoners," socio-psychological mudslinging deck, Brian Williams' Post-Modern, or "PoMo," Tarot. Note that, although Williams considered his suit of "TVs" to represent Fire and "Guns" to reflect Air, I believe that TVs are better as … Continue reading A “Twist of Fate” Example Reading
Where Is Denise? – A Missing-Person Cold Case Reading
I fist tackled this nearly 40-year-old cold-case puzzle back when I created my "Train to Nowhere" missing-person spread. Since this blog didn't exists then, I most likely posted the results on the Aeclectic Tarot forum but, although that now-defunct site has been archived, finding anything on it is difficult. Unfortunately, I didn't save the original … Continue reading Where Is Denise? – A Missing-Person Cold Case Reading
A “Tarot Persona” Example Reading
This was too juicy an opportunity not to try out on myself, so here is a test reading for the "My Tarot Persona" spread. I used the Thoth deck for the esoteric line and the CBD (Conver Ben-Dov) Tarot de Marseille for the exoteric line. All images copyright U.S. Games Systems, Inc, Stamford, CT The … Continue reading A “Tarot Persona” Example Reading
A “Tough Love” Example Reading
This reading was performed on a hypothetical romantic relationship by applying my "Relationship Crisis Spread." I used the Thoth deck, with reversals; this spread does not require a Significator card. I also calculated the two optional "quintessence" cards to show how that is intended to work. The relationship in question was between a man and … Continue reading A “Tough Love” Example Reading
Where Is Celia? – A Missing-Person Reading
UPDATE: It has been reported that Celia was found "safe in New York." There was no detail regarding where she was found, how she got there or whether she was aided in any way. This has the earmarks of an "assisted runaway" scenario, but we will probably never know. Case closed for now. Fifteen-year-old Celia … Continue reading Where Is Celia? – A Missing-Person Reading
Another Missing Tyler
Sixteen-year-old Tyler Christensen went missing from the Edmonds, Washington area on April 19, 2016 and hasn't been heard from in over two years. I decided to subject this cold case to my "Train to Nowhere" missing-person spread. I used the Thoth deck and chose the Princess/Page/ Knave of Wands as Significator based on his youth … Continue reading Another Missing Tyler
Where Is Tyler? – A Missing Person Reading
UPDATE: The missing sailor was found unharmed in another State. As I expected, this comes from the news agencies: "No other details about Tyler's circumstances were released." A young sailor has gone missing from Groton, CT after having left home on his Honda motorcycle last Tuesday. http://www.wmur.com/article/silver-alert-issued-for-missing-new-england-navy-sailor/19860623 Although I haven't been getting much satisfaction out … Continue reading Where Is Tyler? – A Missing Person Reading
Wait For The Ricochet
There is a 1970s hard-rock song by Deep Purple called Child in Time, replete with Ian Gillan's visceral moans and screams (remember "Primal Scream Therapy?"), with a verse that has me thinking about "outcome" cards. "Sweet child in time You'll see the line The line that's drawn between Good and bad See the blind man … Continue reading Wait For The Ricochet
