[O:S:L] Five Card Invocation Spread for Tarot or Oracle
Posted: Sun Jul 14, 2019 12:29 pm
Ever since I was first introduced to Tarot by my mother as a small child, I've been fascinated with the cards and possible different ways to use them. While working with Prince Vassago to develop another spread that felt more intuitive to me than something like the Celtic Cross, he suggested that I use my cards like I craft my basic ritual circle, and this is the spread that came of it.

Each element has its own implications and helps with my interpretation of the reading, and as I continue using it, I see the potential for asking for wisdom from the demonic divine using this spread.
Air is knowledge and learning and mental strength. Air is embodied in many traditional invocation circles as Lord Lucifer, and here you can ask for his knowledge and wisdom to guide you in regard to the question. Or, for a more necromantic spin, and my personal circle construct, I would ask Lord Zagan, Lord of Alchemical Transformation and the Vampiric currents.
Fire is passion and motivation and drive, it is raw Will, strong and consuming all in its path. Fire corresponds to Lord Flereous, and through him you can find the strengths in your question. For my necromatic circle I call on Lord Valefor, the Guardian.
Water is the place of emotion. The oceans can be deep and placid or rough and turbulent. Water corresponds to Lord Leviathan, and his even hand can help reveal the emotional charge of the situation. Lord Bifrons, speaker for the recently passed, is my choice in my necromantic circle.
Earth is foundation, it is what everything is built upon. It can represent the past, or even the home. Earth is to Lord Belial. Lord Gusion is the bearer of hard truths, but always supportive, another divination demon with necromantic ties.
Spirit is the place for the larger powers at work, the archetypes, forces, much like the Major Arcana's place in the Tarot deck. The Spirit can be represented by either Lord Satan, a sort of source, or by a personal patron. As my Patron is Lord Murmur, and he is Lord of Dissolution and Exorcism, he is whom I call for Spirit in both general workings and necromantic workings.
When working with this spread, you can do it with just the elemental correspondents, however I do highly recommend you explore the wisdom the demonic divine can offer with it as well.
Writing this post has inspired me, so I am offering TWO readings for free using this spread and my necromantic pantheon using the Demon Possessed Tarot. If you are interested in this reading and the slots aren't full yet, just post that you would like one and what your question is! I will respond with the reading here, along with pictures of the spread.
