Hello, I created my own Tarot spread and I wanted to figure out if any one could tell me it's a fair spread.

Let me tell you how I work;
1) I start separating the cards into 2 groups; the minor arcana and major arcana.
2) I ask myself a question; What is the main point of...tonights party? (Example.)
3) I shuffle the major pile like any other spread, including rotation, and pick out a card somewhere in the middle. I place this card "north". (I choose the major because the major represents the main points of events of our lives.)
4) I ask myself another question; What are the other points of...tonights party? (Example.)
5) I shuffle the minor pile like any other spread, including rotation, and pick out 2 cards. I place these cards "northwest" and "Northeast.

6) I turn the cards over. I see what is my main and extra focal points of my event, in this case tonight's party.

Problem; Is this fair? Somehow it doesn't seem fair to separate the minor from major concsious before shuffling.

I see it this way: if you're allowed to use a major-only spread and you're allowed to use a standard poker deck to read, you're allowed to use the majors and the minors separately.

TP here, no else want to comment?

Hi Malachite.

What validates your spread is the results you get from using it.

Divination and occultism generally - we are inherently talking about things that are pseudo-scientific, and as such there are no rules when it comes to what is and is not permissible.

Use your spread a few times and see if it will yield accurate insights. If it does, then it is worth using.
