Short - Each card explained individually and in the perspective of it's position, reading summarized with final card.
Extended - Each card explained individually and in perspective of it's position, the reading summarized with final card. The difference between short and extended is that I usually pull clarifying cards, allowing more detail regarding the issue, if available solutuons and possible paths. I also answer side questions within the reading itself.
3 Card - Spread usually reserved for "Past-Present-Future" on a specific question. Can be alterred to the querant or readers prefferances, but ghenerally focuses on physical realm matters and things at the forefront of the subconscious.
5 Card - The 5 card spread that I use is one that I've not taken from books or teachers. I will not venture to say it is unique, but I've made it my own. The spread appears something like this:
4 2 1 3 5.
1: The issue
2:Other people/Outside influences
3:Possible results of choices
4:Past Influences
5:Outcome based on current outlook
10 Card - I use a variation of the celtic cross spread that I picked up from the Osho Zen cards, called "The Key". Instead of having a final outcome, the last card gives the querant a key piece of knowledge, tied in with the rest of the reading, to figuring out their own path.
15 Card - This spread is a variation of those offered by the Thoth and Golden Dawn tarot decks. It involves 5 groups of 3 cards each. Each group represents a different general category/ The center group is the querant or question and current situation. The two groups above and to the left and right of the center group can be two opposing paths that rely on a an upcoming choice, or they can be the continuation of one path, with different factors in each group. The group of cards to the bottom left shows past influence on the situation and to the bottom right, other people or karmic events involved.
