BY CAITLIN MATTHEWS - THE DA VINCI ENIGMA TAROT 2005
"GO TO THE SCHOOL OF NATURE RATHER THAN TO COPIES OF NATURE;
GO TO THE FOUNTAIN, NOT TO THE WATER JAR"
Starting from the top of the pack, keep turning over cards until you come to a macrocosm card -Major Arcana trump. Take this card as your Source and the three cards directly underneath it as your Water jars. The Source is the water that nourishes you, card 2 shows what is stale and needs to be tipped away, card 3 shows what needs to be mixed in, and card 4 is where your water is flowing.

JULY 2008: THE CHERRY TREE SPREADY BY CAITLIN MATTHEWS - THE DA VINCI ENIGMA TAROT
"The tips of the topmost cherry-tree branches form a pyramid at their crown." Cut the pack into three piles and turn over the topmost three cards, placing them in a traingle. The card at the apex represents what you aim for, the left-hand card is what hinders it, and the right-hand card is what helps it.

JUNE 2008: "NINE CARD YES AND NO" SPREAD
First, let me say that I personally use this spread as a quick and ready Tarot card spread for when the telephone rings and my querent is on the line asking questions. It can be a simple spread for you to use by working with the upright cards as a yes to a question and the reversals as a no to a question, or like for my uses, it can be more complex.
As Tarot scholar Mary Greer explains in her wonderful book, which every Tarotist needs to have, "The Complete Book of Tarot Reversals" Publishes by Llewellyn Worldwide, ISBN: 1-56718-285-2: "Scry or Scrying, measing to discern something difficult to catch sight of." It is about the process of obtaining more than just the literal meaning of a card that comes up for the reading. Looking at the cards individually then as a whole group to see what picture comes to mind that paints a larger view of what might be happening.
When we as Tarot card readers imploy the following elements in our reading, we provide our querents with an amazing amount of helpful inspiration, which is the oil needed to lubricate thought to a new perspective which is the change maker:
1. What is happening that brought the querent to you. Listen to them talk as you prepare the cards and your own thought. Pay attention to the element of "Synchronisity, a theory developed by Carl Jung and the physicist Wolfgang Pauli of an acausal principle in which everything that happens at a single moment in time is related in a meaningful way."
2. Energy: What is the tone and general feeling of the querent. What is it they are asking for? Uplifting, change of perspective, and encouragement are some of the key underlying needs of a querent to name only a few of many concerns.
3. The cards themselves: How many Major Arcana cards showed up in the reading, how many from the suit of Air or challenges, how many from the usit of Love and Emotions - Cups right? How many from the suit of all things material including relationships Many forget, I have been guilty of this myself, that most of the time relationships with others fits into the Pentacle suit as well as the suit of Cups.
I can't take the time to go into more detail about the different suits and the Major keys, but you can research further for yourselves.
After you ask the rephrased question and have shuffled the cards the way you prefer to do it, select nine cards and organize them face up in two separat piles. One is for the upright and the other of course is for the reversed or no. Here's a little tip. Mary Greer says that reversed cards are guidance cards for the most part and can be unblocked and uprighted by some kind of change or action. Knowing this and keeping it in mind when you look at the reversals, something important can emerge for the querent they may well need to know about.
As simple as this spread sounds, it can provide an in-depth reading that is quite enjoyable and can challenge your thinking ability in working with the Tarot. Remembering always, "Honour Tarot and work within it."

" The Betrayal Spread" (Nine Cards)
(Note from the site webmistress:To ask this question in a way that we don't commit the third-party reading rule, it's ok to ask the Tarot "What do I need to know about the energies around me and in my life now to help assist me in my journey to move forward and be in the state of Divine Grace?" then proceed with the reading below. Check your intentions with this powerful spread. - Kristin Lee-Gray, CTI)
