Love that you shared a lot of options. I am still honing my own, as none seems to be exactly what I want it to be. But, you've given me a lot to think about!
I'm so glad you got something out of this video. The whole point was to prove that traditional meanings are pointless if they don't provide you with a sound reading. I struggled with the spread until I realized it was OK to change it up. Now it's my go-to. I believe I suggested in this video to move through a storyline without cards, just the positions. That's the fastest way to determine whether or not a positional meaning makes sense. Thanks for watching! I've got a few more Celtic Cross videos coming. Lynn XXOO
Hello! That could work, depending on the intention you set for those positions. If you look at that possibility across the 15 or 16 examples I've given here, it could change the perception quite a bit. If you look at the mainstream, popular meanings of these positions, #7 is considered YOU, which leaves it open to so many interpretations. But I would have to agree with you that what happened in the past and the environment that has influenced us could certainly bring us to an opinion on our lives. For me, I tend to focus on the question or the main issue, not life in general (which ALSO changes the perception), and I have found that #3 Foundation of the issue and #5 What's on your mind (could easily be Hopes and Fears, too) would bring me to #7 which would be your point of view. I see #7 as "hey, I've given the situation a lot of thought and I've considered all the ways I could handle it, and this is probably the path I will take if you don't give me any better advice because MY way has worked for me in the past." Which by the way, doesn't mean it will work in the future. So I use #7 as a warning that sometimes we need to rethink how we look at a situation before we simply react to it. Why are we motivated to take the action we're thinking about? Anyway, thank you for your comment. There are no right or wrong solutions here. They are ALL valid! Hope to see you here again. Lynn 💖💖
I have had so much fun with this video, and hope you don't mind me asking, Lynn but have you used Tom's CC ? I really like the concept and some set meanings but cards 3 and 5 as well as 4 and 6 look identical... I watched some of his videos in it but I'm still confused. What makes meaning 3 ( outside influences on the situation) different from 5 (things out of the querent's control)? Same with 4 and 6. Am I being dense ?!🤔😁
Dense? Not you! 😲 You are always there with the tough questions! I haven't played with this spread, but it might be a fun video! I'll seriously consider it. In short (because I always like to try to answer your questions), let me attempt a partial spread. I tossed out some cards and here's what I came up with. Question: How will this new job pan out? #1) 10 of Swords. There are a lot of issues surrounding this job and, at first blush, it looks like I may end up being highly dissatisfied with it. #2) 3 of Wands. Why? Because I was hoping for the freedom to expand my expertise and, subsequently, my resume. #3) 2 of Pentacles. But I will have a hard time finding my footing as everyone around me is trying to balance there own needs with the job and they are not focused on working together. #4) 4 of Pentacles. I won't have a clear indication of whether or not I should share my expertise and try to help the situation, or pull back and wait to see what happens. #5) Knight of Wands. While the fast-paced environment I saw when I interviewed looked enticing, I will come to find that it is more chaotic and disorganized which will eventually become very stressful. #6) Page of Wands [expect the unexpected; a new direction] I may be pleasantly surprised after I settle in. My initial reaction might simply be my lack of experience working in such a fast-paced environment, so rather than the outcome being negative, maybe what I'm seeing is a series of personal challenges that I will need to overcome in order to fit in. I didn't finish the spread to keep this simple. So again, this was an off-the-cuff pull of the cards. Your first question was about 3 and 5. Could it be that the environment is so (#5) chaotic from lack of good leadership that (#3) each man is an island unto himself. The "feel" around the querent is not something he created, nor is it something he can control, but the effect of that environment (#3) is influencing the very attitudes of the people subjected to that setting? Hmmmm. You can look at the 4 of Pentacles (#4) as pulling back and refusing to share his own knowledge...OR...you can see it as him managing the resources he brings to this environment, easing into the situation without giving everything at once. Maybe he provides a calming influence which ultimately (#6) allows him to earn the respect of the team and therefore allows him to take this environment in a different direction. Fair warning, I pulled and read these cards randomly, early in the morning, before my 2nd cup of coffee! 😱 So take that into consideration. I hope that help show how 3&5 and 4&6 could actually be different. The influence by #5 could actually be causing the actions of #3. And the actions taken in #6 could be the direct result of #4. OK then, back for a 2nd cup! Hope all is well. Talk to you again very soon! Lynn XXOO
@@askdevinecentralWOW !!!! 🤯Thank you Lynn, that was phenomenal !!! You should start teaching Tarot, seriously 😮 I believe I have a better idea of the differences... Looks like it's more of a "distance" issue (for lack of a better term). Cards 3 and 4 deal with the querent and outside influences that DIRECTLY relate to the issue discussed. If, for instance, talking about a work situation at the office, the outside influences could be the co-workers, boss, etc . The querent's influence pertains to his experience with the work being discussed, his achievements, etc. Positions 5 and 6, as I see them, are more about LIFE that is happening at the time of the reading and how it relates, influences, helps and hinders (if at all) the topic of the reading. The outside, in this case, could point to other issues happening in the world, the querent's circle of friends, etc. Like, for instance, the environment in the office can be good (card 3) but the market may be crashing (card 5). Or the client has just lost a dear friend to a car accident (not related to the matter itself but certainly important to the querent and perhaps negatively influencing his drive to fight for goals...) That's what I mean by "distance". Number 6 could be showing how capable/able the querent is to handle these facts so that they do not damage his plans and aspirations. I hope I got it right ! I'll try it again and let you know how it went 👍🏻 Thank you again for the explanation! You rock 🔥
@@analuisahering2043 Ana, you are such a hoot! I really appreciate your comments and your support for this channel. As for teaching, I already do. A current student and I are talking about making one of our practice videos public so others can see what they would be getting. My offerings are in my Etsy shop below. Anyway, I think you picked up on where I was going with the example. You actually took it much farther than I did. You're so smart! 😀 I really enjoy our discussions! Lynn XXOO

Your version of the Celtic cross has really helped me adapt more than others I have tried. Love the way you teach, can't wait for the next upload.
That is so kind of you to say! I do love sharing this kind of information. Working on more as I type! Lynn XXOO
This was such a fantastic idea for a video! Really appreciate the time you put into it. Thank you so much! Love it…so helpful! ❤
@@krisreutzel170 Glad you liked it. I'm trying to come up with as many different angles as I can. More to come! Lynn XXOO
