COURT PRACTICE SIX: KEEPING UP THE PRACTICE


This is the kind of practice that you can do again and again.  
Try doing this everyday for a week and see what you come up with. It will demonstrate that you really know your Court Cards.

NEW YEAR/BEGINNING SPREAD: WISDOM OF THE SEASONS


Following our theme of time, let’s use the whole deck to look at the year ahead.  In this spread, you find the four keys of wisdom that will help you get through the year to come.   It’s a good spread to do at New Year, when you reached a threshold of change, or when you make a new beginning.  Use the whole deck to discover these keys, but only read 6 cards. Take your time.

PART TWO: THE MAJORS AND THE THREE RINGS OF THE WHEEL OF THE YEAR


Looking at the Wheel of the Year the three kinds of cards can give us the following information:

      the Minors can reveal the index of human experience (explored in the next blog post to this one).
      the Majors can show the degree or condition: how or at what level it will hit you. 


The three rings on the Wheel of the Year reveal the following levels:


The outer, inner and heart.  The guiding power of any major card can be read with these three rings in mind.
