Celtic Tarot

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.

The larger cross consists of two lines that overlay the smaller cross. The horizontal line (Cards 1, 3 and 4) shows time moving from the past on the left into the future on the right. The vertical line (Cards 1, 5 and 6) is the querent’s consciousness moving from unconscious on the bottom to conscious mind on the top. The direction and posture of figures within the cards can also be illuminating. Are they facing each other, suggesting interaction or confrontation? Or are they positioned similarly, hinting at common attitudes or parallel paths? The Knight is a rather somber figure. His hair sweeps across his sorrowful face, as chilling winds blow across the landscape. Symbols of death are around him: crows, hover above, and the flowers he holds are wilted. This is Balin, the Knight who killed the Lady of the Lake.

This card represents the immediate challenge or problem facing the querent. This is the one thing that, if resolved, would make life a lot easier. Even if you draw a ‘positive’ card in this position, consider it carefully as it will still represent a challenge.

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.Challenge: This card crosses the querent’s central position. It shows a key obstacle to the goals or desires of the querent. It is up to the person who is seeking future knowledge from the Tarot to understand what the reader is telling them and make their own decision on how to act based on the advice the Tarot is giving to them. Compare the Above and Below cards (Cards 5 and 6). Is there a synergy between the conscious and the subconscious levels? Is there alignment between what is driving the querent and what the querent aspires to? If there is alignment, great – it will be a lot easier to resolve the issue. If not, then assist the querent in understanding what is happening at the subconscious level and how this may be impacting their response to the issue. Now that we’ve gotten the individual positions of the Celtic Cross tarot spread, we can start working on developing the stories that develop within this complex 10 card tarot spread. The Cross vs The Staff If you’ve worked with the tarot before, you’ve most likely already encountered the famous Celtic Cross Tarot Spread. This well known 10 card tarot spread is flexible while also providing comprehensive answers to so many questions and topics. It is also one of the rare tarot spreads that you can use even when you don’t have a particular question to ask. With the Celtic Cross Tarot Spread you can examine all the different aspects of a situation, getting a piece by piece breakdown of any event that has crossed your path.

This exploration of the Welsh-Celtic myth of the prophet/poet Taliesin and the witch/goddess Cerridwen takes the reader on a transformative journey. It introduces them to core Celtic philosophy and magic, then embarks on a powerful, experiential foray into one of Wales’ most profound legends. Readers will gain a deep understanding of the myth that is the heart of Celtic mystery and become well-versed in a magical ritual for successfully working with one of Celtica’s most esteemed goddesses: Cerridwen. Outcome - This card is meant to be a summary of all the previous cards. Given all that is happening, what is the likely resolution of this event? Should you find a card here that does not have a favorable outcome, you can analyze the remainder of the spread to find another course of action. I know how tempting it can be, especially when you’re first starting out, to scrap a Celtic Cross Tarot Spread that doesn’t immediately “make sense.” Sometimes it can also feel disheartening to receive cards that have unfavorable meanings.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 Tarot cannot be manipulated to that extent so it throws out different cards which disappoints the one looking for answers. How many court cardsappear? Many readers will interpret these as actual people in the querent’s life, though they can also represent the querent when they appear in certain positions (like #1, #7, and #10). 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).
