Pile 1: Bulldog
Pay Attention to the Words
When I saw your spread, I got a rather instant download. The first card, Great Teacher, has the wisdom message of “Learn from Spiritual Experiences.” You’re meant to learn from Jesus.
Now, you may not be a Christian and that’s fine. Jesus has been a monumental thought leader in world history. Some of this has translated into more traditional Christianity while abrahmists, gnostics, syncretists, and new agers are happy to follow Jesus without an orthodox practice.
But what I want you to pay attention to are the words of Jesus. This is fortunately quite easy because there are easy ways to look up exactly what he said online or to even get what they call a “red letter Bible” that puts his words in red letters.
Jesus spoke in parables. These are stories with a spiritual meaning. In the Gospel of Matthew, he said this: “This is why I speak to them in parables. Though seeing, they do not see; though hearing, they do not hear or understand.”
Jewish people of the time followed a religion of contemplative literature. You’re meant to meditate on his words and that is how Jesus will be your next spirit guide.
Your New Spiritual Practice
But this is where it gets spiritual in the modern sense. The second card, Seer, has the wisdom message of “See beyond the current situation.”
A practice that many Christians did and still do is bibliomancy. This is where you open to a random page in a book and the first line you land on is a psychic or divinatory message.
You can use a Bible if you’d like, but you may find it helpful to get a stack of flashcards and write down lines Jesus said in the Bible. Like tarot cards, you use these as messages from Jesus when you have a question or want general advice.
But don’t look up the meanings of the lines when you read for divination. Look at them like parables that have a meaning relevant to you in context to your question only. They are, after all, parables. The meaning is hidden to you until it’s revealed through reading.
Going Forward, Life Will Change
The final card in your spread is Direction Guardian with the wisdom message of “Choose Your Path.” This is a sign that the exercise can be used to help you make an important life decision.
You may find it helpful to collate all the lines that matter to you and then contemplate. Afterwards, journal about what you were inspired to do or become from those lines. You might be surprised.
So this is essentially your next spirit guide: Jesus, but in particular, his parables. You may also find similar writings from other monumental spiritual (or even historical) characters of value too. If you really don’t resonate with the red letters, try another text and do the same exercises I outlined.

Pile 2: Chick
Right Behavior Is Rewarding
Pagans saw divine spirits in nature, and I see this in your spread. The first card, Shaolin Master, has the wisdom message of “Be Graceful in Movement and Action.” Paganism is a gift giving cycle: you give something to the divine beings in return for something else.
It’s about proper behavior, or in study of religion terms, orthopraxy.
Your next spirit guide is a divine nature spirit and they only want to work with you if you act correctly. It’s up to you if you want to go through the effort, but know that nature spirits can be particularly powerful. It might be worthwhile.
But what behavior in particular? Let’s see.
Your Next Spirit Guide
The particular spirit is the Sun and it has the wisdom message of “Enjoy Success and Happiness.” Many pagans associated sun gods and goddesses with joy, fertility, and vitality. Festivals would be held at the height of summer to celebrate this energy.
Paired with the last card, dedicating a sacrifice of your time to some physical activity would be worthwhile. Not all gifts to gods were sacrifices, but offerings. An offering of an activity would be called a devotional offering.
You can dedicate a hike, a dance, an action in the light of day, and so on.
The important thing is that this either requires effort or is set apart from your usual day, that way it has the quality of sacred. Someone who loves hiking can’t dedicate their normal weekend hike, though perhaps a different or longer route would be good.
An indoor person? Going outside on purpose, something many modern people don’t do for more than a few minutes in-between going from one place to another, might be sufficient.
How It Will Help You
In the West, we mostly associate the Sun with a masculine god, but that isn’t the case everywhere. The final card in your spread, Lady, has the wisdom message of “Enjoy growth and Reap Rewards.”
The English word “sun” has an Indo-European origin and was a feminine noun. Not surprisingly, the Germanic deity associated with this word, Sol or Sunna, was a goddess. Other female sun goddesses include Amaterasu from Japan and Hathor in Egyptian mythology.
The way that masculine versus feminine energies are different is that female goddess tend to gestate or create, so we should see that your devotional offering will lead to better behavior and habits in the long-term.
Perhaps you dedicate going outside every morning to get vitamin D and that improves your health. You’re meant not to just give up your time and energy, but to receive something in return for those efforts from the divine being of the Sun.

Pile 3: Frog
Enter a Place of Trance
I see a lot of indigenous energy in your spread. So regardless of your origins, pay special attention to the spirit guides of place around you.
When I say indigenous, I mean either a traditional religion if you have access to it in its ancestral homeland, or if you don’t have access to it, find spirits of place instead. So a Native American could do their tribal religious practices, but an Appalachian American would probably be better suited with the spirit of the land in those mountains.
The first card, Shaman, has the wisdom message of “Trust in Higher Forces.” A shaman is a mediator between the divine and human worlds, though the particular type we’re familiar with tends to be in more animistic cultures.
Some sort of trance work is usually required, which is a state of altered consciousness, and I see this as a method you should try with the spirit guide of place you can interact with.
Practices include drumming, fasting, hypnosis, meditation, guided visualization, breathwork, chanting, channeling, and probably ones I can’t even think about right now. You’ve got options.
Your Connection
The second card is She-Wolf with the wisdom message of “Unleash the Wild Within.” I don’t see a specific spirit guide in your spread, but rather connecting with them through trance and it being an indigenous spirit or a spirit of place.
But what would be a spirit of place? Like the She-Wolf, trance will bring those qualities in you temporarily or permanently depending on the spirit. Such spirits could be ancestors, spirit animals, and nature spirits around you.
It can help to go out into nature or to meditate on what energies around you do you feel connected to.
For example, I’m Appalachian and both I and most people I’ve met feel a spiritual connection to the trees, mountains, streams, and our Appalachian ancestors. But you might be different and drawn to something unusual or very specific, like a large boulder near your home. It could be big or small in local relevance.
Make It Real
The last card in your spread is Fire Guardian with the wisdom message of “Ignite Your Passions.” Some historical shamans used their altered states of consciousness to inspire creative work, though it probably had some sort of function in their community.
Whatever spirit of place you connect to, and however you channel that wildness within you, you’ll find you want an outlet for that energy.
But this spread suggests a creative element. It may or may not be something you can monetize, but you will find that the message your spirit guide sends you may only fully manifest in the practice of making art.
It can be in any form, from visual, to words, music, maybe even programming. I often feel inspired to write poetry. The point is, when you feel inspired, let it out. A spirit of place demands tangible materialism, and for you to fully channel it, you need to manifest it.
