Most Tarot instruction books require readers to memorize the keywords of each card-quite a challenge for those who’ve never held a Tarot deck before. Donald Tyson takes the burden off beginners by providing a whole new approach to Tarot that’s easy and effective.

A card’s complex significance is boiled down to three elements: identity, action, and result/quality. When these elements are matched respectively with a subject, verb, object, they form a simple sentence and give succinct meaning to the card. Donald Tyson teaches how to interpret the collective meaning of three-card sets within a variety of spreads. Flexible, fast, and fun, this foolproof system can be applied to all decks.

The Thoth Spread

Card 1: Represents the client and the nature of the question. It also represents the primary influences upon the situation.

A court card in this position refers to a dominant individual, influence, or personality trait affecting the situation.

Cards 2 and 3: Read this combination with reference to Card 1. All three cards are keys to describing the nature of the situation and the personality of the individual.
Cards 13, 9, 5 and 4, 8, 12: These two sets of cards indicate potential futures.

If the two sets compliment each other, the cards on the upper left are a development of the cards on the upper right.
If the two sets are in conflict, the cards on the Lipper right are the direction the individual will naturally follow. The cards on the upper left represent actions that could change the natural direction.

Cards 6, 10, 14: This set indicates the psychological basis of the issue.
Cards 7, 11, 15: This set shows the operation of forces beyond the individual’s control (destiny or karma), and how he can adapt to them. They are personal advisory cards.

NOTES

Princes and Queens often indicate actual men and women connected with the matter.
