Three Faces of Time Layout: Past, Present, Future
A general past, present, future layout in answer to a query or a topic
This is another very useful 15-Card layout that can be used with ANY oracle deck, and originates in Tarot.
Purpose Of Layout
To give a fairly detailed past, present, future reading for a period of time. It can be general, or you can ask it about a particular topic.
In it, you will be primarily reading the cards of your chosen deck in chains. You can also look around any cards of interest, and use any additional info on the cards if you have a suitable deck.
Suitable Decks
Any: Sibillas, Kipper, Traditional Ziguener Cards or Lenormand as well as, of course Tarot. Obviously, you will get a different “tone” of reading from whatever you use.
If you use a deck with playing card references, you can also utilise them as a layer in the reading if you wish.
Significator/Central Cards
You do not use significator cards with this layout although of course, they may show up in the body of the reading if your chosen deck has them.
Detailed instructions for shuffling, laying and reading this spread are as below:
