Tarot Reading
IN THE REDUCED SPREAD, only the 22 Major Arcana are used.
Four cards are
picked after shuffling. The first one is set on the left and represents the
question which involves the postulant. The second one, placed opposite the
first, shows what is around the postulant, the general ambiance regarding
him. The third one placed on the top indicates the actions exerted by
superior forces in order to conciliate the first two cards. The fourth card
placed at the bottom gives the result. The spread is then synthesized by
adding the numbers written on the four cards, and the card with the matching
number is placed in the middle. If that number exceeds 22 (22 here
representing Le Mat, The Fool), it is reduced by adding both digits in order
to find a corresponding card. For example if the sum is 46, one adds 4+6=10,
and places The Wheel of Fortune at the center of the spread. If the sum of
both digits corresponds to a card already in the spread, one reduces the sum
of the other three cards, the fourth one being excluded since it matched the
former reduced number.
