Product Information

Use a card you are drawn to. If you are experienced, you may have already developed a connection to a card. If not, explore the symbols and imagery of the cards to find one that feels relevant to your mood or attitude. Behind / Past: Placed to the left of the Position/Challenge cards, this card shows recent past events that are influencing the present situation. Generally speaking, what other patterns stand out to you? Do certain colors or symbols echo across multiple cards? Maybe there’s a recurring motif of water, symbolizing emotions, or an abundance of red hinting at passion or conflict. These repeating patterns can create a thematic undertone to your reading, accentuating specific aspects of the querent’s situation. However, if you do wish to ground yourself in a specific card, you can do this in a number of ways: The Circle/Cross shows what is going on in the querent’s life at the time of the reading. This section is made up of two crosses – a central one (Cards 1 and 2) nested within a larger cross (Cards 3 to 6). The smaller cross represents the heart of the matter – what is most central to the querent at the time of the reading.

It is a personal choice of how often you do the Tarot. Some people do the Tarot daily to see what the day ahead holds. Other people may choose to do the Tarot weekly or just once and awhile. While there is no set answer I suggest you do it once a day at the most. Tarot timelines can get very confused if you do the Tarot too often. Reversed cards can also be indicative of internal processes or periods of introspection. Rather than signaling a call for outward action, they might represent a phase of self-reflection, introspection, or healing. This inward focus can be especially pertinent when considering the querent’s next steps or assessing the factors that contribute to their current situation. Below / Subconscious: Have you heard the phrase, “As above, so below”? In the tarot, this refers to the idea that whatever is going on in our subconscious realm will be reflected in the conscious realm.The Tarot Cards pinpoint what you can expect to confront in your life and often produces the exact same reading because that is exactly what is in front of you for good or bad. To try to find a different answer when one is not there for you is not wise. If you haven’t used a significator, give it a try! It can be a great way to initiate a conversation with the querent. However, you aren’t an inferior tarot reader if you decide it’s not for you. FINAL REFLECTIONS ON THE CELTIC CROSS TAROT SPREAD

The Celtic Cross spreads is one of the most commonly used in tarot reading, but it is also one of the hardest Tarot spreads to read correctly! It's famous because of its accuracy and the comprehensive information it provides regarding your question. The card in the ninth position of the Celtic cross tarot spread, just about the eighth card, reveals how the querent is feeling, their hopes and their fears around the situation. “It does not represent what actually will happen but more our outlook on it,” Monahan says.

Celtic Wisdom Tarot review by Bonnie Cehovet

Compare the Future and Outcomes cards (Cards 4 and 10). How are the events of the near future contributing or influencing the overall outcome? Will the querent need to manage these events in a particular way to create the right outcomes? Again, refer to the Advice card (Card 7) for more detail. This card reflects that which is within the subconscious realm of the querent and delves much deeper into the core foundation of the situation. It symbolises the underlying feelings and trends associated with the situation and can indicate what is truly driving the querent. This card may bring a surprise message to the querent, particularly if they are not deeply connected to their inner being (watch out for reversed cards here which are likely to indicate that this is an ‘unknown’ to the querent). Card 7: Advice All the Major cards are characters from Celtic Mythology, much of which is not commonly known to people (like myself) with only a very average knowledge of the subject. I must therefore confine myself to commenting on the artwork and energy of the cards rather than the characters they represent. And don’t miss out on the significant symbols like the lemniscate, or infinity sign. Appearing more than once? It could be highlighting themes of continuity, balance, or infinite potential.
