Hel’s Transcendence Spread
This is a second spread inspired by the image of the goddess Hel on the Two of Earth card in Ellen Lorenzi-Prince‘s fantastic Dark Goddess Tarot.
In Ellen’s words: “If both are the reality, there is no choice. . . . In Hel’s underworld, opposites are accepted out of necessity, and through inescapability, are transcended. In Hel, two do not blend into one. Although intimately connected, each retains unique identity. Power lives in the dynamic tension between the two.”
This ended up being a 22 card reading. You could do this as a Majors-only reading for especially difficult issues and deep soul work.
