Multiple person tarot reading
-
I have been curious about the prospect of a single tarot spread for 3 people. I have thought about a 9 card spread wherein each person draws 3 cards representing past, present and future.
Has anyone here attempted a multiple person draw? If so how did you go about preforming this?

You do a lot of spreads with people?

I would be cautious in such an endeavor. Even with a single querent, it can be difficult (as you may know) to attain the state of mind necessary for an accurate reading. As an equation, as the desire of the querant to know becomes a point, the desire of the diviner must become zero. Thus with a set of three querants, you have three points, and still the diviner must be able to be unattached and zero in the operation.
This could be made much more difficult, especially with the novelty of a new technique, and/or the fact that you are now reading a matrix of matrices and now have to sort out all the implications of that.
It may be useful to attempt, and record your observations carefully. One suggestion: you might try having the querents each take a 'role' for the course of the reading. ie: the matter will be known (presumably) to all of them, so make it clear that one person's cards will be read with regard to action, another's to influence, and the third's to consequences... or something similar... thus it is a well defined aspect of the operation from its beginning, a framework, if you will.
Bear in mind that any personal relationship you may have with these three people will certainly magnify the difficulty of obtaining a clear result.
Best of luck.

I would think, the best way of aproaching this would be to first to a reading for each person individually. When I say individually, I mean without the other two being there in the room.
Then, gather them together and do the final reading.
The most important part would be the phrasing of the question, for the 'group' reading. Ensuring that it aims for describing the event as opposed to the querants path through said event.

I would say that this would not work well if, say, of the three querents, 2 were relative strangers and one a close friend, biases of what the reader knows/does not know of the querent inevitably show through somewhat, even in the best of readers. I have never attempted a multi-person spread. If you want to try, perhaps try with 3 good friends and agree in advance that what you read may not be as accurate as an individual reading would be.
But, by all means try it out, perhaps it works well, and if so, i imagine many would be interested in your results.
