Divination / Guided practice

The Celtic Cross tarot reading.

Adapted from Dr. L. W. de Laurence’s
The Illustrated Key to the Tarot: The Veil of Divination

The purpose

Explore a question through the relationships between ten tarot cards. The Celtic Cross places influences, obstacles, past and approaching events around a significator, then considers your position, surroundings, hopes and fears, and the outcome suggested by the spread.

The practice

You’ll choose a question and a centre card, then shuffle and cut your deck. The guide shows where to place each of the ten cards. Select the card you drew, read its meaning and consider one question before moving on. At the end, bring the cards together into a reading.

Time to allow
15–25 minutes
Difficulty
5/10
What you’ll use
A 78-card Tarot deck and space for eleven cards

Choose one question, such as “What should I consider as I begin this work?”
