POSSIBLE SPREADS/LAY-OUTS
The Book of Fate Symbols Deck can be used with any of the three-card spreads, the five-card spread, the nine-card spread, Mimir’s Head, or the Runic Cross (did I ever cover that one? I don’t recall). Let me give you an example. When I had both decks printed, cut-out, and acrylic-sealed, I did an experimental nine-card reading. I didn’t specify any question beyond just ‘tell me what I need to know right now.’ The result was as you see below:
Interesting, but can you tell me anything more? Taking up my newest version of the Geomancy deck, I shuffled and laid them out as you see in the picture below:
Though I would normally read a row from left to right, after some study, the top row seemed to read better from right to left. What I discerned was a man who is facing a loss. The presence of Puer from the Geomancy deck and Puer Major from the Book of Fate Symbols deck, right next to the Man and the Amissio cards, tells me this man is a very immature individual, a moody, petulant man who has not matured with age. The Tristitia Major(Test Tube) card from the Book of Fate Symbols deck, paired with the Laetitia card from the Geomancy Deck, suggests a person who derives happiness from making others sorrowful. A very unpleasant individual indeed.
