This is a divination spread that I developed several years ago after meditating on the concept of Spirit Guides. This spread was designed to help me recognize and acknowledge the Guides who surrounded me. My mediation led me to the knowledge that we have a total of nine Guides. Five of those Guides reside in the cardinal points that correlate to the pentagram - East, South, West, North, and Center. The remaining four reside closer within our circle - directly Above, Below, Left and Right. As each individual has his or her own interpretation of what certain positions within a divination spread mean, I leave it up to you, the reader, to define these for yourself.

This spread was originally designed to work with the Druid Animal Oracle (ISBN 0671503006) but could easily be done with Medicine Cards (ISBN 093968053X) if that is a deck that you prefer. Both of these decks should be available at your local metaphysical shop and at larger retail booksellers or you may purchase them from Amazon.com in association with Brighid's Fire.
