The 
Spell-A-Day: December 10, 2023 thread brought my attention to the Past Life Tarot Spread page shown below:
Here is my attempt at using the “Timeless Wisdom Tarot Spread” to delve into a significant past life and any potential wisdom it may provide.
The Sun: What challenges did I face in my past life?
In my past life, it seems that the challenges I faced were akin to the imagery of The Sun – surrounded by an aura of optimism and strength, much like the depicted Asiatic lion skull haloed in its mane. My past was marked by power and prosperity, but not without the trials that tested my resilience. The warmth and brightness of the sun seems to indicate that despite difficulties, there was always a sense of comfort and growth. The presence of the three dots on the chin of the lion, warding away the evil eye, suggests that I was constantly striving to accumulate good fortune and ward off negativity.
The Devil: What accomplishments did I achieve in my former life?
The Devil depicts a Chain Viper, suggesting that my achievements were, perhaps, similarly tinged with the dangers and entrapments associated with this card. The loosely hanging snake and the bird’s-eye chilli pepper plants signify some encounters with vice and the overcoming of the evil eye. My past life must have had some struggle with addiction, sexuality, and a lack of control, yet it would seem that I emerged with significant accomplishments in spite of these challenges.
The Hierophant: How can I better understand the purpose of the challenges and experiences I faced in my past life?
The Hierophant, haloed in gold and gesturing upward in this card, signifies turning from the physical to the divine. It suggests that my past life’s trials and triumphs were deeply rooted in spiritual growth. The alma branches’ affiliation with Amrit symbolises the quest for divine wisdom and knowledge, guiding me to learn from my teachers and mentors. It appears that these challenges continue as I once again pick up from where I left off in my previous life.
Nine of Rings: What past life experience is most impacting my current life?
The Nine of Rings suggests that success and discipline were the most impactful experiences from my past life. The card shows a blooming rose within the largest ring, symbolising an expansive perspective – seeing beyond the immediate and appreciating beauty in the broader scope of life. It claims that this experience of success, discipline, enjoyment, and safety influences my current life, guiding me towards similar paths.
Queen of Wands: What karmic lessons did I learn from my past life that I should be aware of today?
The Queen of Wands indicates that the karmic lessons from my past life revolve around developing a steady and well-deserved confidence. The charisma and strength of the Queen, akin to the sunflowers shown in the card, reflect a self-awareness that I had achieved. It was a life where I became comfortable with my identity and projected it confidently to the world. This is a call to question my current level of self-awareness and to strive towards achieving this state of confident being.
Two of Cups: What guidance or wisdom can my past life self offer me to help me navigate my current life journey?
Finally, the Two of Cups points to the importance of partnership and the energy of romantic endeavours. The skulls gazing at one another in the card symbolise the deep connections and relationships I formed. My past self advises me to embrace new relationships and opportunities with the same excitement and to find ways to ensure that old love endures. It emphasises the significance of strong partnerships in navigating life.
). Wonder what will come out 
I think I also need to sleep on it.
. But got some interesting stuff. I may redo the same reading with my runes and then compare. 
So I pulled 2 runes, but got 3
I pulled the 7 of swords. The vibe I got was in deceit. That not everyone I’ve ever had dealings with has always had my best intentions, and that I need to be more aware of those that are trying to manipulate me for their own agenda. This is interesting as it shows I have a trait of naivety where I and my past still don’t see the bullet coming, until it’s hit! 
. This is where Andromalius has come to assist. A demon of justice and revenge. Though I don’t seek revenge or even justice, from those that did this to me and my family, in this life, (yes I missed it again 
appeared, Loki’s rune along with 
also associated with Loki. The need to throw chaotic energy into 
) Spirituality is important and needs to be aligned correctly. Where I’ve failed in that, that’s where the blockages and devious behaviour of others has stemmed from. Wake up, this card is saying. Everything is there, just see it and shine. So what of Gaap. He’s a demon that sees the past present and future, he can help with trauma, he can enhance magical skills. The star follows the Tower, so chaos will smash down the old, to release me from it’s traps, but Gaap here can help me rebuild the new, and if I allow Mr Lucifer to shine his light I can break this cycle for good!
I’ve been doing a lot of quiet introspection, it’s possible that I’ve still needed to integrate some of the lessons from my past life too. All action creates karma, the Hindu teachings say. This is a card or non-action.
But then, this is about dreams and goals too. Fire and water are a good start and keep the motivations high, but earth is what keeps us grounded. Seeing things for what they are, not what we wish them to be for one. And also remembering to put in the work. In the card the woman and the man are working together. I generally like to do things on my own to get them just the way I want… my past self might be saying to let others in and do more things together 
Might do something like this annually, be interesting to track it and compare, like a tarot BOS. Thanks for sharing this my lovely 
There was some rite about having it drip right on your Vishuddha chakra or something. I can’t find it right now, but I’ll tell you when I do
