Hogmanay Reading

SoulCollage Reading

Now that I have quite a collection of cards, I thought it might be interesting to use a Tarot layout for a reading. I chose the Celtic Cross as it's the spread I use most frequently...

The cards:

Significator: Rendering the Predator
On my mind: Creativity
Obstacles: Reaching Tranquility
Past: Fat Self Loathing
Present: Between the Worlds
Immediate Future: Skeleton Woman
Far Future: Storyteller
I see myself: Cailleach
I see my house: Shedding
Hopes/Fears: Grief/depression
Outcome: Weird little helpers

I am the one who renders the predator
I am the one who is creative
I am the one who is reaching for tranquility
I am the one who wants to leave my fat self and self loathing in the past
I am the one who is in a transitional place
I am the one who will meet Skeleton Woman
I am the one who will be Storyteller
I am the one who sees myself with the power of the Cailleach
I am the one who sees my house as something to shed
I am the one who fears depression and the dark and hopes for wings and the light
I am the one who will encounter strange little helpers and a touch of the surreal

I really love this reading, especially the significance of change as the old year dies and a new one dawns. Lots of very telling images - especially the Shedding card for "how I see my house" (we are planning to move house next year).

SoulCollage® is the process, developed by Seena B. Frost, of creating a deck of collaged cards from found images—cards that are arranged in suits for the primary purpose of self-exploration and self-acceptance. SoulCollage® cards are made from original purchased art (e.g., art published in magazines, calendars, books, cards, etc.) and personal materials (e.g., photos). SoulCollage cards are not to be sold, traded, or bartered and are to be reproduced only for the personal use of the maker of the card.
