Layouts & Spreads for Tarot Readers

$59

with Margaret Jones, M.Ed

Calendar May 20, 2025 at 6 pm, runs for 2 weeks

Tarot readings, in order to be effective, begin with a clear and concise question. Intention and the right number of cards in a spread oftentimes provide all you need to answer your questions. Novice and experienced readers will explore straightforward approaches to intention setting, spreads, and layouts. Examine the art of the question, one, two, and three card spreads, as well as the more complicated spread–the Celtic Cross. The insights you gain may be monumental, but the methods you use to realize them needn't be.

Bring a Tarot deck, preferably the Rider Waite Smith Tarot Deck: available at Flourish in Biddeford, Leapin' Lizards in Portland, or Amazon.

Margaret Jones, M.Ed., tarot reader, educator, and award-winning storyteller, facilitates seminars as a national trainer to assist individuals on their path to self-discovery.
