I’ve made a deck interview & spread~! 😀 (Tarot and cartomancy friendly!)
I would say this is a fairly comprehensive spread, I hope it works well for you! Please feel free to tag me if you use it, I’d love to see! ^^
These 5 are about the deck itself:
1. What is your most prominent characteristic? 2. What are your strengths? 3. What do like doing the most? (We don’t always like what we’re best at) 4. What are your weaknesses? 5. What do you least like to do? (Again, not always the same)
These ones focus more on you:
6. How do you feel about me? (It pays to be blunt sometimes) 7. What do you think I need to learn? 8. How can I work to achieve that? 9. What is the one thing you would ask of me?
These last ones are all about you and the deck:
10. What is the potential outcome of our relationship? 11. Do you want to work with me? (Personally I think this is the most important one of them all)
Don’t be afraid to ask for clarification if an answer confuses you! I had to do this a couple times myself, but I didn’t save the cards out, I just noted them down and put them back in the deck.
According to the Bible, Eve was the first to heed Satan’s advice to eat of the forbidden fruit. The notion of woman as the Devil’s accomplice is prominent throughout the history of Christianity. During the nineteenth century, rebellious females performed counter-readings of this misogynist tradition. Hereby, Lucifer was reconceptualised as a feminist liberator of womankind, and Eve became a heroine. In these reimaginings, Satan is an ally in the struggle against a patriarchy supported by God the Father and his male priests.
This study delineates how such Satanic feminism is expressed in a number of nineteenth-century esoteric works, literary texts, autobiographies, pamphlets and journals, newspaper articles, paintings, sculptures and even artefacts of consumer culture such as jewellery. We encounter figures like the suffragette Elizabeth Cady Stanton, gender-bending Theosophist H. P. Blavatsky, author and diplomat wife Aino Kallas, actress Sarah Bernhardt, anti-clerical witch enthusiast Matilda Joslyn Gage, decadent marchioness Luisa Casati, and the Luciferian lesbian poetess Renée Vivien.
