I wasn’t planning on doing a past year reflection tarot spread this year but after being called to it a few times I decided to listen - so here it is 💜💙 This is truly the perfect tarot spread to help you energetically let go of this past year. Finish it off with some releasing rituals & voila! On to the next…✨

Happy New Moon! 

To help finish up the shadow work series here’s a post to investigate your fear, one of the most constant companions of this kind of internal work. Spreads can be helpful here since it’s so hard to look directly at what we fear. Tarot can help us lay it bear for us to see. Hope this spread helps! 

This spread is great! Totally what I needed!

Listen to your truth and find out what your calling is! Enjoy! ❤️🍀

Oh no, hellboundwitch is at it again~~

I’m calling it the Pokeball Spread, for now, as this is what happens when I spend all day playing Pokemon and thinking about my cards.

I’m REALLY interested in how this spread works for other people! (Especially douglasiana and their Pokemon TCG Oracle…) Spreads I make for myself, like this one, tend to be either somewhat vague in their positioning (so that I can get the most out of the cards) or too specific to be useful to anyone else, haha.

I’ll also be referring to the Deck of 1000 Spreads, which I’ve fangirled already here, as I used it to help me lay out the spread.

Card One is the pokemon. This is what’s hidden inside. The whole question for me here is…what’s there? Do I unleash it? If I want to, how? The spread will go on to address those questions.

But for now, I want to know…what do I have that’s going to get me through this? Which pokemon is going to win this battle for me?

In laying this spread out with the Deck of 1000 Spreads, I used the Situation card for this position – it’s one of my favourites.

Card Two is the release button. This is what you need to do in order to bring the pokemon out. I find this sort of especially helpful in a hopeless situation, because you’re like “Okay so ~supposedly~ I have this inner strength to draw on, but how the hell am I going to bring THAT out?”

(It is entirely possible to kind of reverse these and be something that you need to capture, or hide, or acquire, by the way.)

I used the Crossing card here.

Card Three is part of the foundation of the pokeball. In my head, this is where the pokemon lives, haha. So we have the things that keep it safe and sheltered, which you’re gonna have to shake up in order to remove the pokemon.

In this card, the question is what are you going to need to change or get rid of in order to best implement the first card. I used the “What to Leave in the Past” card in this position.

Card Four, meanwhile, is what you should hold onto. Because you usually don’t want to throw the baby out with the bathwater, right? These two cards together will help form a kind of game plan for you.

I used the “What to Use in the Future” card for this.

Card Five is part of the top of the pokeball – what opens up and lets the pokemon free. So the question here is, what do I need to do in order to put all of these things to work? What action do I take? How do I use what I have?

Naturally enough, I used the “Action” card from the Deck of 1000 Spreads to represent this.

Card Six, our last card, is pretty straightfoward – it’s the Outcome card. (And, I’m sure it goes without saying that I used the “Outcome” card from the deck to finish us off here.)

ALSO, I want to thank blueamnesiac from deviantart, whose pokeball image I used in the spread picture!

I hope this spread works for you guys as much as it worked for me :D

You guys have been showing so much love, I wanted to share a really personalized spread with you that I did for myself tonight. Please let me know your thoughts! xx

Here’s a little spread I threw together to analyze attraction, whether it be towards another person, a hobby, a lifestyle, or what have you.
