Alright, so I got this idea to mess around with tarot cards, but in a new way. I call it “Combo Tarot.” I’ve always been kinda fascinated by tarot, you know, the whole mystical vibe and the pretty pictures. But sometimes a single card just doesn’t cut it for me. I want more details, a bigger story.
So I thought, why not combine cards to get a more complex reading? That’s how this whole Combo Tarot thing started. I grabbed my trusty deck – it’s the classic Rider-Waite, nothing fancy – and started shuffling. I wasn’t following any specific rules, just going with my gut.

First, I pulled three cards for a basic past-present-future reading. I laid them out in a row, just like you see in all those tarot guides. I stared at them for a while, trying to figure out what they meant individually and how they connected. It felt kinda like putting together a puzzle, but with more mystery and less certainty.
Then I got this wild idea to pull more cards. I put one card above each of the original three, like building little towers of cards. These new cards were supposed to add extra info to the first ones. For example, if the first card was about a challenge, the card above it might reveal a hidden obstacle or a secret fear.
- Pulled the first three cards: Past, present, future.
- Stared: Really, I just looked at them for a while and let them speak to me.
- Added more cards: One on top of each of the first three.
- Started seeing connections: This is where it got interesting.
I kept going, adding more cards to create these elaborate spreads. Sometimes I’d put cards below the original three, or to the sides. It was like a free-for-all, but somehow it made sense. Each new card added a layer of meaning, a new perspective. It was really interesting.
I started seeing connections I never would have noticed with a single card reading. It was like the cards were having a conversation, telling a story with unexpected twists and turns. The more cards I added, the richer the story became. It felt like I was unlocking some hidden language, a secret code within the tarot deck.
What I Realized
This Combo Tarot thing is definitely something I’m going to keep exploring. It’s a fun way to get creative with tarot, and it feels more personal than just following a set spread. I feel that I achieved a richer reading than before. If you’re into tarot, I’d say give it a try. Just shuffle your deck, let your intuition guide you, and see what kind of stories you can create. It’s a wild ride, but it’s worth it.
In the end, it felt less like a fortune-telling exercise and more like a deep dive into my own thoughts and feelings. I started writing down the combinations, the stories they told me, the whole deal. Combo Tarot – it’s become my new favorite way to play with the cards.

You should try it. Let me know what you think.
