Three-Card Spreads
This group gathers the three-card tarot spreads, among the most popular and versatile layouts, in which three cards are drawn and read in relation to one another. A three-card spread is often read as past, present and future, or as situation, action and outcome, and lends itself to quick, focused readings.
The browser will find the three-card spreads the atlas gathers. The entries describe each spread's positions and how they are read. The atlas presents tarot reading as a modern divinatory practice; the esoteric use of the cards dates only from the late eighteenth century onward.
