“How You Been, My Long Lost Friend,” a Spread for the Dead

Hi guys! I love creating spreads because doing it combines the two creative things that I love the most: art and tarot. It’s a thing.
When my sister died suddenly and unexpectedly in May 2016, I turned to Tarot in order to try to communicate. I was literally at a loss for words and could not move myself from the spot on my art room floor, where I was rocking back-and-forth. Tarot may not have talked for her, but it sure has helped me talk again. And get through shit.
This was not my first time picking up the cards, but I haven’t put the deck down since then. However, I hardly ever use them to communicate with spirits…. So I’m giving it a go. And I’m going to use the spread I created above. I’ve never done it before.

Why not?

I strongly believe in the power of art and the Tarot for emotional healing and wellness, and it is my ultimate passion, as an artist, to teach others how to use these resources in this way. I create to connect. I connect to myself through artistic expression and I connect to others through hearing their stories and sharing my vision. Art has been my healing modality, and also the thing that brings me closer to the essence of who I am. I also love card decks, both tarot and oracle, and I have a huge collection! They speak seductively to the artist in me, and I'm fascinated by the intersection of art, spirituality, and psychology that exists within them.
