Court Cards

1. Kings = Fire
2. Queens = Water
3. Knights = Air
4. Pages = Earth

Sub Elements

Wands = Fire	Cups = Water	Swords = Air	Pentacles = Earth
Fire of Fire	Fire of Water	Fire of Air	Fire of Earth
Water of Fire	Water of Water	Water of Air	Water of Earth
Air of Fire	Air of Water	Air of Air	Air of Earth
Earth of Fire	Earth of Water	Earth of Air	Earth of Earth

*When dealing with sub elements the potency of the cards is determined by the court cards and their association to the elements.

For example:

1. If your spread reveals a King of Wands, that card is more potent than the queen, knight or page of the same element.
2. If your spread reveals a Queen of Cups, that card is more potent than the king, knight or page of the same element.
3. If your spread reveals a Knight of Swords, that card is more potent than the king, queen or page of the same element.
4. If your spread reveals a Page of Pentacles, that card is more potent than the king, queen or knight of the same element.

Universal Spreads – Three Cards

The beauty about the 3 card spread is this: Adaptability. With any queries that you may wish to ask that do not have a specific path or question, this is the spread to use. Many of the Universal Spreads are specific questions only, and therefore do not give you a wide enough reading. However this spread is so adaptable that you can do it at any time, with any question, whether it range from past, present and future to that of self discovery or careers etc.

Universal Spreads – Five Cards

1. Past
2. Present
3. Mental/Emotional Influences
4. Physical Influences
5. Outcome/Future

This is an adaptation of the five card spread. I have changed this to suit the more occult at heart, there are two diagrams which i will present. The normal pentagram and the inverted, for the spiritual sumerianists/satanists.

The original five card spread works exactly the same as the 3 card, however with this spread, you get longer reading
