Wednesday Spread: The Main Character Story Arc, Wings & Crowns deck

Happy Wednesday, all! Welcome to the Wednesday spread. This week we're tackling a spread from the guidebook for the Wings & Crowns deck, a deck celebrating romantasy. This three card spread looks at a current situation as if it were a story, and from our interview spread we know this deck is very well suited for stories! Let's dig in.

Wednesday Spread: Interview Spread, Princess Bride deck

Hi all, welcome to the Wednesday Spread! This week we're doing the interview spread, with a twist; this version comes from the LWB for the deck, and you know I always love using a deck's own spread if I can. So let's dive in and see how this works!

Wednesday Spread: Dark Daughter Magic Spread, Dark Daughter Tarot

Happy Wednesday, all! Welcome to the Wednesday Spread. This week, we’re exploring a five-card spread from the Dark Daughter deck, a collection of goddesses from across the world. Each figure carries a story, a lesson, and a piece of advice - if we let the cards speak, they guide us on a journey of focus, courage, and choice.

Wednesday Spread: Hearth & Moon Spell Spread, Everyday Witch Tarot

Happy Wednesday, all! Welcome to the Wednesday spread. We're working with the Everyday Witch Tarot this week, and as the LWB only has one, three and Celtic Cross spreads, I've come up with a spread especially for the deck! This is the Hearth & Moon Spell Spread. Lay seven cards out; 1 in the centre, 2 above it, 3 and 4 down on the right, 5 and 6 up on the left, and 7 at the bottom. You should end up with a circle and one card inside. Instructions below, and my spread below that!

Wednesday Spread: Witches Tarot, Horseshoe Spread

Happy Wednesday, all! Welcome to the Wednesday spread. This is one of the longer spreads I've tried at seven cards, so I'm a bit nervous but looking forward to trying it out! Let's hope it comes through clearly.

Wednesday Spread: The Cat's Meow Spread, Enchanted Forest Felines

Happy Wednesday, all! Today we're trying a spread from the LWB for this deck - I always enjoy trying a spread that was written for the deck, and the start of the year feels like a good time to try a self care spread! This is a four card spread and seems reasonably simple.

Wednesday Spread: Interview spread, Enchanted Forest Felines

 Happy Wednesday, all! Welcome to the Wednesday Spread. Today we're interviewing the Enchanted Forest Felines deck. This is a really fun deck and my daily pulls so far have been very interesting, so I can't wait to get to know the deck better!

Wednesday Spread: Apple Pie Spread, Supernatural Tiny Tarot

Happy Wednesday, all! Welcome to the Wednesday spread. This week we're tackling the Apple Pie spread, a spread designed for use with this deck. It's meant to help you discover what you want out of life. Sounds like fun! So far, this deck hasn't pulled a single Major card, so let's see if that continues across this spread.

Wednesday Spread: Interview spread, Supernatural Tiny Tarot

Happy Wednesday, all! Welcome to the Wednesday Spread. Today we're doing the interview spread with the Supernatural Tiny Tarot from Titan/Insight Editions. I have worked with the full size version, but not very seriously for quite a while; I wasn't even doing interview spreads back then! So this is going to be really interesting, I think.

Wednesday Spread: Ukrainian Tarot, Hearth and Path

This week, I pulled a five-card spread with the Ukrainian Tarot, exploring themes of vitality, resilience, destiny, reflection, and celebration. Each card is rooted in folklore, history, and the natural world, creating a narrative that moves from the spark of life to the joy of shared community.

---

1. The Seed 🌱 — 6 of Fire (Viburnum Berries) 🔥

What is beginning in your life right now?

Clusters of bright red berries hang close in the foreground, spilling into the blurred forest behind. These are viburnum berries, symbols of life, blood, and immortality. Folklore tells of a murdered lover whose tree grows from her grave, and a flute carved from the wood calls out her killer. Life, death, and memory intertwine here - a reminder that actions and intentions carry forward beyond the immediate.

The 6 of Fire as The Seed reminds us that beginnings are full of potential, resonance, and the courage to step into unknown but fertile ground.

---

2. The Root 🌾 — Tower (Khotyn Fortress) 🏰

What gives you strength, stability, or grounding?

A formidable fortress rises along a river, scarred by centuries of siege and attack. Khotyn has fallen and been rebuilt countless times, yet it still stands - a testament to resilience and endurance. Unlike some Towers that emphasise sudden collapse, this one whispers: sometimes things fall despite all your efforts, and that’s not your fault. Survival and the ability to rebuild are true marks of strength.

As The Root, Khotyn anchors the reading: your strength lies not only in what you build, but in your capacity to endure and rebuild when life tests you.

---

3. The Challenge 🔥 — 8 of Water (Snake in the Bones) 🌊🐍

What tension or obstacle is asking to be met?

A snake slithers through a still body of water, patient and quiet. Folklore tells of a man who tried to avoid his foretold death by releasing his horse, only to be killed later by a snake dwelling in the horse’s grave. This card reminds us that letting go of attachments doesn’t always change destiny, and sometimes events unfold beyond our control. Awareness and acceptance become the tools of navigating life’s currents.

As The Challenge, the 8 of Water invites reflection on fate, attachment, and the subtle currents that influence outcomes.

---

4. The Action 🦋 — 6 of Water (Willow by the River) 🌿💧

What energy, initiative, or step can you take?

A willow leans gracefully over the water, catching a ray of sunlight. In Ukrainian tradition, willow branches are a symbol of remembrance, honouring the past like the palms that welcomed Jesus into Jerusalem. This card invites reflection on memory, connection, and honouring what came before.

In the Action position, the 6 of Water suggests pausing to integrate lessons, honour continuity, and nurture insight - moving with awareness rather than force.

---

5. The Gift ✨ — 2 of Fire (Circle Dance) 🔥💃

What will be the reward or insight if you follow the path?

Figures in traditional costumes move in a tight, joyful circle, rhythm and energy almost tangible. This card celebrates community, collaboration, and shared joy, rooted in tradition. Following the themes of vitality, resilience, fate, and reflection, the 2 of Fire invites us to move together, celebrate life, and honour the shared rhythms that carry us forward.

As The Gift, it shows that the culmination of this journey is connection, celebration, and the joy that comes from sharing life’s dance with others.

---

🌿 Reflection

This spread traces a journey from the spark of life and vitality (6 of Fire) through resilience and grounding (Tower), acceptance of fate (8 of Water), reflection and nurturing action (6 of Water), to celebration and shared community (2 of Fire).

The Hearth & Path spread highlights how the Ukrainian Tarot blends folklore, historical resonance, and visual storytelling. Even amid challenge or uncertainty, there is a rhythm to follow, roots to honour, and joy to share. Step forward with awareness, stand steadfast when tested, and let the shared energy of your community carry you. 🌿✨

Wednesday Spread: Second Interview, Nightmare Before Christmas Tiny Tarot

I recently decided to get to know the Nightmare Before Christmas mini tarot in a fun and experimental way: I did a deck interview spread twice — once before watching the movie, and once after. I wanted to see how my impressions of the deck would shift once I knew the story and characters.

As always, I didn’t create this spread — if you did and would like credit, please let me know!

Wednesday Spread: Interview spread, Nightmare Before Christmas Tiny Deck

Welcome to the Wednesday spread, all! This is the first of two interview spreads I'm doing with this deck - one before watching the movie and one after! It'll be interesting to see how things change.

As always, I didn't create this spread - if you did and you'd like credit, please let me know.
