This is a tarot spread based on Synergetic magick. First, familiarize yourself with the Formulae of the Tetragramaton
How does this apply to a Tarot spread? Well, the current situation that one is entangled in is a "created thing" too. By laying out four cards in an elemental FIRE-WATER-AIR-EARTH spread, one analyses the situation into its component parts. You can now see the situation's driving force, underlying pattern, force in action, and outcome. This will lead to a deeper understanding of the situation itself.
But wait! There's more!
Say that one of the cards is a little vague to you (the Water Pattern card doesn't make sense, for instance). Well, that component is ALSO a created thing. Which means that it too can be analyzed into its Fire, Water, Air, and Earth parts.
Lift up the questionable card, deal three more cards in its spot, then lay the original on top. The bottom one is the Fire that led to the component; the next is the Water pattern of the component, and so on. The original card is the Earth. Hopefully this will clarify matters.
If several components were confusing, it would be a good idea to sub-divide them in order: Fire first, then Water, and so on.
You could sub-divide a sub-division until you ran out of cards in the deck, but after a while it gets too complicated. Use your judgment.
This is all very well, but generally one does a Tarot reading to tell the future, not the present. This is where "Awakening the Eld of the All Father" comes in.
The earth card (the final situation) can be used as a water card (for the new pattern). Remove the water and air cards (and any sub-division cards they have), move the earth card into the water position, and deal two new cards in the positions of air and earth.
The next stage in the evolving situation now stands revealed.
This spread can be adapted to rune readings, geomancy, I Ching hexagrams, or other divination methods.
The diagram TETSPRED.GIF is meant to be printed out, and used to lay out rune tiles, geomantic symbols, or whatever on it. The cryptic symbols are Pentateuch symbols. The design is the framework of a synergetic pantacle.
