Star Gate Card Set & Sky Spread Book ~ Vintage

Descriptionvintage 1984This Fortune Telling method is more like an exciting game – to be played by one or more – with 96 double-sided cards and a unique Sky Spread flexible game board. The variety in the symbolic cards assures you a different variation every time even if you choose the same theme or questions on which to focus. The perceptions gained from the card’s pictures, words and symbols will give added insight into your decision making and develop your intuition, as well as creating fascinating play for yourself and for other players.The cards have a simple image and title on one side (Tunnel, Harp, Tree, etc.), and on the other side there is information about the category of card (Energies, Conditions, Self-Expressions, Talents, Challenges, Attitudes and Fulfillment) and some keywords and phrases for meanings. Included is a paperback book explaining the system, and a rubber mat with the Sky Spread printed on it to lay the cards out onThe reading method is interesting. You lay out the cards, then form initial impressions from the images. Then you determine the card meanings from the images and from the keywords and card types listed on the card backs. Then, using the images, you make up little scenes or stories so that the symbols interact, to gain intuitive awareness. This is facilitated by the simple nature of the images, rather than the complex images of tarot. Then you imagine the “best picture,” the most positive interaction of the parts of the spread, and determine a level of approach for change and progress. The set as a whole is marketed as a tool for self-empowerment and self-exploration rather than fortune-telling.
