Alright, let’s talk about this… this… “tree of life tarot spread,” whatever that is. Sounds fancy, huh? Don’t you worry none, I’ll make it plain as day, like my grandma used to make biscuits.
So, they got this thing called the “Tree of Life.” Now, I ain’t no fancy scholar, but from what I gather, it’s like a big ol’ picture that tells you how things work in the world. Like, everything’s connected, you know? Like how the rain goes into the ground and the plants grow, and then the cows eat the plants, and then we eat the cows. See? Connected. It’s kinda like that, but for… well, everything.

- They say it’s about heaven and earth, too.
- Like a big tree reaching up to the sky and digging its roots deep down. Makes sense, I guess. Trees are important. Give us shade, give us apples… sometimes give us a good ol’ stick to chase the chickens with. Hehe.
Now, these tarot cards… I ain’t never messed with them myself. Too much hocus pocus for my taste. But folks say they can tell you things. Future, past, what your neighbor’s been up to… I don’t know about all that, but apparently, these cards and that tree thing? They go together like biscuits and gravy.
They say the “Tree of Life” helps you understand the cards better. Like, each card has its own spot on the tree, and that spot tells you somethin’ special. Kinda like how each person has their own seat at the dinner table, and you know who’s gonna eat the most mashed potatoes just by lookin’ at where they’re sittin’. You know what I mean?
And there’s this thing called the “Celtic Cross spread.” Sounds complicated, don’t it? Well, it’s just a way of laying out the cards. Like, you put one here, one there, and each spot means somethin’ different. Like settin’ the table – forks go on the left, knives on the right… you get the picture.
Now, why do they use this tree thing with the cards? I reckon it’s because people like symbols. Like a cross for church, or a flag for the country… the tree, it’s a symbol for life, for growin’ and connectin’. And folks think it brings good luck, too. Like wearin’ a lucky penny, I guess. They make jewelry with it, even. Little trees hangin’ around your neck. Pretty, I suppose, if you like that sort of thing.
So, this “tree of life tarot spread”… it’s just a way of lookin’ at the cards and tryin’ to understand life a little better. Or somethin’ like that. Personally, I think life’s too busy for all that card shufflin’. Got chickens to feed, gardens to weed, and grandkids to chase around. But hey, if it helps folks make sense of things, more power to ‘em.
But let me tell you somethin’ for free, the best way to understand life ain’t in no cards or fancy pictures. It’s in gettin’ your hands dirty, workin’ hard, and lovin’ your family. That’s the real “Tree of Life” right there. And that’s somethin’ I know for sure, no cards needed.

Anyways, that’s my two cents on this whole thing. Hope it made some sense to you young folks. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I gotta go make sure them chickens ain’t gettin’ into the vegetable patch again. They’re always causing trouble, those little rascals.
Remember what I told ya. Life’s simple, even if these card readers try to make it sound all complicated. Just keep your feet on the ground, your head held high, and your heart open. That’s all the advice you really need.
And for goodness sake, don’t go spendin’ all your money on them tarot cards. Save it for a rainy day, or a nice big pie. Pie is always a good idea, that’s what my mama always used to say, and she was a wise woman.
Well, that’s enough talkin’ for one day. Go on now, and don’t forget to water the plants.
