Introduction
Welcome to another Magickal Monday! Today, we’re going to be talking about what I call the “chosen outcome spread.” You could also think of it as a “backwards” reading. This is an approach to tarot magick that involves consciously selecting the cards you want to manifest in your life, rather than drawing them at random. Today, we will explore the concept of the chosen outcome spread, discuss the benefits of this tarot magick technique, and offer guidance on how to effectively use this method for manifesting your desires.
The Concept of the Chosen Outcome Spread
The chosen outcome spread is a form of tarot magick that reverses the traditional process of tarot reading. Instead of asking a question and drawing cards to receive an answer, you intentionally choose the cards that represent the outcome you desire. By placing these chosen cards in a tarot spread and visualizing them as if they were drawn naturally, you can harness the power of intention and manifestation to bring your desired outcome into reality.
Benefits of the Chosen Outcome Spread
1. Enhanced Focus and Clarity: By consciously selecting the cards that represent your desired outcome, you are forced to think clearly and specifically about your intentions, which can lead to greater focus and clarity in your magickal practice.
2. Empowerment: The chosen outcome spread allows you to take control of your tarot reading and manifest your desires actively, rather than passively receiving guidance from randomly drawn cards.
3. Flexibility: This technique can be adapted to any tarot spread, making it a versatile addition to your magickal toolbox.
How to Perform the Chosen Outcome Spread
The entire process of doing a chosen outcome spread is a spell, from beginning to end. Begin with setting up your space however you prefer when doing magick. I suggest some soft music to set the mood, and incense or an essential oil in a diffuser. I prefer to work magick by candlelight whenever possible. I don’t typically cast a circle for this sort of thing, but a lot of others do.
None of these things are necessary, of course. If you’re familiar with working magick, then prepare the space however you normally do. If this is your first time working magick, try any of my suggestions above that sound interesting to you, then next time adjust based on what felt right and what didn’t.
The only important thing about setting up your space is that you have a flat surface with room to lay out your cards. Once you’re ready, you’ll complete the spell by following the steps below:
1. Set Your Intention: Begin by reflecting on your desires and intentions, and decide on the specific outcome you want to manifest.
2. Choose Your Cards: Browse through your tarot deck and consciously select the cards that best represent your desired outcome. Be as specific and intentional as possible when choosing the cards.
3. Arrange the Spread: Lay out the chosen cards in the pattern of your preferred tarot spread. As you place each card, visualize your desired outcome coming to fruition and imagine that you have drawn the cards naturally.
4. Meditate and Manifest: Spend some time meditating on the cards, focusing on the energy and symbolism of each card, and imagining how they relate to your desired outcome. Allow your intuition to guide you as you visualize the manifestation of your intentions.
5. Take Action: Tarot magick is most effective when combined with real-world actions that support your intentions. After completing the chosen outcome spread, consider any practical steps you can take to help bring your desired outcome into reality.
Tips for the Chosen Outcome Spread
1. Trust Your Intuition: Allow your intuition to guide you when selecting the cards for your chosen outcome spread. Trust that the cards you choose will resonate with your intentions and help to manifest your desires.
2. Be Patient: Manifestation may not happen overnight. Be patient and trust that the universe is working in your favor, even if the results are not immediately apparent.
3. Practice Regularly: Like any magickal practice, the chosen outcome spread becomes more powerful with repetition. The more you work with this technique, the more adept you will become at manifesting your desires through tarot magick.
Conclusion
The chosen outcome spread is a powerful and innovative tarot magick technique that puts you in the driver’s seat of your own destiny. By consciously selecting the cards that represent your desired outcome and visualizing them as if they were drawn naturally, you can harness the power of intention and manifestation to create the life you desire. Embrace the power of the chosen outcome spread and explore its potential for enhancing your tarot practice, deepening your connection with the cards, and manifesting your intentions with clarity and purpose. Remember to be patient, trust your intuition, and take action to support your desired outcomes, as these factors will work together to amplify the effectiveness of your tarot magick. The chosen outcome spread offers a unique and empowering approach to tarot, providing a valuable tool for those looking to take an active role in shaping their destiny.
