Winter Solstice Tarot Spread

Dear friends, especially friends on the other side (of the Earth, that is ;) ),

Even though obviously I knew you have winter solstice and was wishing you well for winter, somehow I didn't think to make winter version of my spread.

So here's a little late, though hopefully still useful, Winter Solstice Spread.

1. The Sun - Focus for the winter 2. The Shortest Day - What you lack in your life, but you'll be seeing it appear more often. 3. The Longest Night - What hinders you now, but you'll be able to remove it from your life. 4. Birch - What will bring you new energy. 5. Rowan - What will give you protection. 6. Ash - What will help you grow.

Shuffle cards as you prefer, then count and remove 18 cards from top, the 19th card is the first card in spread - The Sun - it's your focus, the thing you need to work on, the thing that will be important. Next card in the pile will tell you what isn't present in your life, but what will be appearing in following months, try working on it mindfully to help it come. The next card will tell you about a thing, that slows and weights you down, now it's time to work to remove it. Following card - the Birch - will show you where you should be looking for the new energy to keep going in the darker days. The Rowan card will tell you what will give you protection eg. from lower winter moods. And the Ash will point where is the possibility for growth, cause winter doesn't have to mean complete stagnation.
