What is it for? How to do a Soul’s Gifts Activation Spread? How to interpret this reading?
While the Tarot is commonly used for everyday life situations, with this spread you can use your cards to gain greater wisdom about your inner life, and your sacred journey to spiritual fulfillment.
The Tarot can easily take you to higher levels of spiritual development and elevation of consciousness.
And while they often go unnoticed, if you look at the details of the images of each Tarot card, you will see that the universal principles of spirituality are reflected through the arcana, and through each of the suits of the Tarot deck.
The Major Arcana, also called the trump cards, are archetypes that show the virtues and sacred qualities that must be embraced during the journey to enlightenment.
Like life itself, this spiritual journey towards the development of consciousness is full of trials, challenges and transformations, but there are also many moments of happiness.
For their part, the Minor Arcana represent scenes and situations in life, and express opportunities for spiritual growth, through the energies of each suit and the Court cards.
Exercises and meditations with the arcana is the most frequent way to connect with their higher energies, but another way to enhance your spiritual growth is through The Soul Gifts Activation Spread.
With the Soul Gifts Activation Spread you can choose a spiritual quality that you wish to manifest in your life.
The question here is: What gifts would you like to have? What abilities would you like to manifest?
How to do the Soul Gifts Activation Spread?
It is very easy, for this spread we will only use the Major Arcana cards, and simply follow the steps.
- Choose a card that represents what you want to be. Choose consciously and deliberately, and this card will represent the spiritual force you would like to manifest in your life, or the type of person you want to become. For example, if you want to connect with your inner wisdom, choose the hermit, if you want to have more authority and transmit more respect choose the emperor, if you want to activate your femininity choose the empress.
- Place the card you have chosen in position 1 of this spread. This is your soul card and is the center of the spread.
- Shuffle the remaining cards without looking at them. Fan them out (face down) and say to yourself, “I now choose a card that represents my past.”
- Now take a card for position 2 and place it face up on the table. This card represents your past, it indicates where you came from. It shows the path you have chosen, or the level of spiritual development you have recently reached.
- While holding the remaining cards, say, “I choose a card that represents me at the present moment.”
- Choose a card for position 3 and place it face up on the table. In this arcane you will see a reflection of your current state of spiritual progress.
- With the remaining cards in your hand, say “I choose a card to activate my gift for my spiritual development”. Take a card and place it face up on the table in position 4.
- This last card is the activation card, position 4 shows what you have to do to achieve the desired personality or gift.
Once the spread is finished you can see represented the past, the present and what you must work to achieve those gifts you desire, to achieve this you can perform meditations and exercises.
By working with this card you will activate and channel that energy to your consciousness, this will help you get the result you want.
The “activation chart” stimulates the awakening of your consciousness, and aligns your spirit with the purpose of your soul.
As mentioned, you can meditate with this card to draw its energy to you and enhance your spiritual development. In addition, you can do some of the many exercises in this channel.
