The Tri/Tri/Tri Spread and Practice Method

To develop the skill required to undertake this spread, take a

single card out of your deck and ask yourself, what is this card
bringing (or calling) to my attention? Then answer, with ONE
word. So you might pull the 2 of Cups, and answer union.

Practice this several times a day, maybe pulling a single card two
or three times each session. Keep up the practice for one week. Then
draw two cards each time. Ask the same question and again
answer with one word. So if you pulled the King of Wands and the
Three of Swords together, you might answer, Liar for example.

Do this a few times, repeat several times a day, and practice for a
week. Then the third week, do it with three cards, still using one
word, and the fourth week, four cards until after two months
you can do it with eight cards at a time.

Like any exercise, you may find you meet a personal wall or
threshold at some point, or many points. Your practice regime may
need to be altered in response to your progress do nOt strain
yourself!
 The Tri/Tri/Tri Spread

When you can easily summarise eight cards at a time, you can
perform this spread. It works best in an unaware party or Tarot
gathering to pretend to be doing a simple six-card spread first,
which I call the resolution spread, laid out in a triangle:

1 card: Aim What you should be doing

2 cards: Action What you are doing
3 cards: Avoiding What you are moving away from

This uses six cards. Then You can suggest you lay out a few
more cards to clarify the situation. Incidentally, the following
is modelled on Rachel Pollacks gifted reading of cards, with my
own personal interpretation of her unconscious processes. For
each line of this reading, you can use your new skill to summarise
in one word, making it a quick and powerful reading, or interpret
the sets of cards as a normal spread.

Lay out 1 card, saying and reading it as How you sum it up.
2 cards, This is what you think is involved.
3 cards, So this is how you tend to act.
4 cards, The relationships involved appear to you as
5 cards, Here we see the patterns of the past
6 cards, Some things you avoid
7 cards, The old story you tell yourself
8 cards, All the traps

At this point you will have a large triangle of over half the
deck laid out on the floorspace! If on a table you can overlay
each line as you read it. If you have been doing the one-word
summary, in an authorative tone, this spread is very powerful.

You now lay out 8 cards beneath the 8 cards showing all
the traps, and say so all the escapes. You can pair each trap
card with the escape card below it, noting that the solution is
always contained in the problem.

You then start to lay out a reverse triangle of decreasing

cards in lines as follows:

7 cards, The new story you should sing

6 cards, Some things you engage with
5 cards, The patterns of the future
4 cards, What you need to do with others
3 cards, How you should act
2 cards, What is really being decided
1 card, How it really is
 You will now have used every card in the deck! This is also
the drilling-down to the base card of how it really is that
appears in our other methods of reading, and any other spread
not using the whole deck.

You can of course look at the balance of cards in the

triangles and see any particular patterns. You will note
how the triangles are opposite reflections of each other,
such as things you avoid and things you engage, and the
old story turning naturally into the new song.
