    Greetings Justin

    Just a thought: I looked at spreads when first trying Tarot and other
    oracles. Then I made an experiment and made a spread of my own, which
    worked very well. Since then I have used almost no spreads from books. Also
    I prefer oracles that do not have ready "interpretations". I sometimes
    also construct my own oracles.

    You know (hopefully ;-) what you want to know. Make a spread that is
    designed to answer your specific question. In other words, adjust the
    spread to the question.

    Personally I've benefitted from a spread I made about "self-sabotage". (I
    got a spread from a person who made an original spread on this, but I ended
    up using my own. It's almost like using your own toothbrush...)

    Also, there's something called Destiny profile in a book about runes by
    Ralph Blum. Blum himself writes "there is a seriousness about this spread
    that sets it apart from other Runic exercises". You do this once in a
    lifetime, and never again. Of course you don't need to do it specifically
    with runes. The questions answered/commented on by the Destiny profile are:

    What is my nature?
    Why was I born?
    What is my vocation?
    What is my destiny?
    What is my cross?
    What is my unified self?

    I've added a question of my own: "Do I *really* want to know?" ;-) If
    answered with "no", forget all about the other questions.

    I am gathering courage to do this spread any day now. (Like the day after
    tomorrow.)

    spread your wings

    Stu
