The Tree of Life spread

Ten cards laid on the Kabbalistic Tree of Life, each position a sephira — a station in how things move from idea to ground. The most contemplative spread in the set: less about a question, more a portrait of where your current is flowing and where it pools.

The layout — 10 cards, read in the order they fall.
