The Blossom is one of the most challenging spreads invented; take your time with the depth of contemplation this formation inspires. Pull 1 center card randomly to represent the Core You. Pull 8 more “petals” to represent supporting personality traits.
Bonus: You can “pluck” the petals that feel like you have outgrown, opening space for new growth.
How To Play
Play this formation alone or with a group.
Combine and shuffle the entire deck, so all categories are mixed together.
Pull one card at random from the deck shuffled together. Place it face down in the center of the formation.
Pull eight more cards as the “petals” that encircle the central card. Keep each card face down.
When you are ready, flip all the cards over.
Interpret. If playing in a group, the person who asked the question typically speaks first. While The DOC is more about improvising and honoring your genuine reaction to the cards, you can read about each card in more depth via Cards.
If playing in a group, pass the deck to the next player.
