A spirit guide is the spirit of a being who has crossed over and who has been assigned as to assist living persons. They fill a function similar to that of Guardian Angels but with the added benefit of being able to better relate to human conditions. One or two spirit guides are said to stay with us from cradle to grave and others come to us in special times of need. You will know some from past lives, either in a similar function or having been incarnate at the same time.
“We begin to see that we are spiritually linked with people halfway around the world, and with those who lived hundreds, even thousands of years ago. We begin to see that we emerge from, and are the expressions of, a single consciousness that is limited by neither time nor space.”
― Hal Zina Bennett
Free Will
Even though each of us has many angels and guides around us at any given time, they never intrude on our free will but are always willing to help us if asked. The key to being able to work effectively both with spirit guides and the angelic realm is to be a clear channel. This means the ability to become still and receive messages from beyond the veil – a bit like tuning into a radio station that isn’t easy to find. Once you have found it, you can quite easily establish a clear channel if you are willing to practice.
Different things can get in the way of connecting and working with spirit guides and the biggie is, of course, our core beliefs about the spirit realm. Perhaps you come from a traditional Christian background. The preacher or minister may have instilled a fear of demonic activity in connection with mediumship and spirit guide connections. Or maybe your parents and school teachers were all atheists who made fun of anything ‘woo.’
You Are Worthy
Or perhaps your doubts go to the very core of your being and you do not feel worthy to be loved and cared for by spirit in this way. This spread will help you tune into your deepest held beliefs and by bringing them into awareness, hopefully clear any blockages to working with the spirit realm if this is something you truly desire to do.
“Your Spirit Guides and Angels will never let you down as you build a rapport with them. In the end, they may be the only ones who don’t let you down.”
― Linda Deir
The spirit guide Tarot spread also helps you find out some facts about your guide, why they are in your life and how you can best work with them for the highest good. This spread works equally well for connecting with a spirit animal.

I have been feeling a strong urge to connect with my Spirit Guides, so this spread is perfect. I am a little confused as to how you figure out the answer to position 3 by the card. I got the 3 of Pentacles. My only thought was that it could be based on the the element (Earth = Auriel) but that would greatly limit the possibilities. Perhaps I was suppose to use an angel tarot deck? Please enlighten me, if you can. I’d love to call my Spirit Guides by name. Thank you.
It’s difficult to say since I can’t see the image of the 3 of Pentacles you are looking at. Look at it as if it is telling you a story… Look for visual clues with a child’s eye. Don’t limit yourself to head knowledge about what the 3 of Pentacles is supposed to mean.
I was using the Gilded Tarot. When I was trying to figure it out, I was drawn to the glow of the fire, thinking that might be the aura color? I’m not familiar enough with the angels, I’m afraid. I had The World in position 4, so we have a strong bond.
It has to come intuitively, nobody else can give it to you so meditate on why you were drawn to the glow of the fire. A name will arise if you are meant to make contact that way.
I can’t wait to try this spread!
Thanks Layla, I hope you have fun with it! 🙂
