How to do a Yule Tarot Spread

This card spread takes closer look at Yule, the day of the rebirth of light; it is celebrated on December 21. This is the shortest day and longest night of the year. Doing this spread will allow you to gain insight into the themes and quality of the upcoming time. The cards drawn are valid until February 1.

For demonstration purposes, I used three different decks of Tarot and Oracle cards. This is a time to celebrate: Purification, Cleansing of the Old, and Rebirth.

Card Pattern:

Position 1 (Elemental Power)
Positions 2- 10 (Foundation)
Positions 8-9 (Support)
Position 10 (Apprenticeship)
Position 11 (Surprise)

If doing a Ritual or casting a Circle, you can pull three more cards and ask:

12.) What needs to be observed with the Yule Ritual?
13.) Which force accompanies our Ritual?
14.) Which protects our Ritual?
