With Valentine's Day around the corner, I thought you might find a relationship spread useful. This is from The Guide to the Mystic Faerie Tarot. Love Me, Love Me Not Daisy Spread You've heard of plucking off daisy petals to determine if he "loves you" or "loves you not." That tradition inspired this spread but examines the question a little differently. It focuses more on how you feel about the relationship. You'll be able to see your current relationship more clearly and find ways to improve it. 1. What you need to know about how you see this relationship. 2.

I know it was sent to me by a reader, but all I have noted for her name is “Babs.” Since these notes were 2009, I cannot remember who sent this idea to me. If Babs reads this…or if anyone recognizes the method, let me know so I can properly credit this idea. Because it is really interesting. I don’t know why it languished in a pile of notes and ideas for so long. Associating the numbered cards of the Minor Arcana with specific Major Arcana cards
