II. February 27, 2006 -   World Servers' Spread; a 3-Card Reading for the World   ... When I was throwing this spread out, it became very clear right at the outset that this is a spread of "occult" instructions for my students, about being students and about studying the Tarot in a multidimentional, psychodynamic way.
