Hello, magical creature!
If you’ve ever suspected that within you there are distinct creative gifts, but you’re not quiiite sure how to unearth them – this tarot spread is for you. I’m presenting it in a video format, because at the moment I’m in the thick of National Novel Writing Month, so my writing brain needed a break!
We all have innate creative strengths, but for many of us these “strange jewels” (as Elizabeth Gilbert calls them) seem inaccessible and hidden. This reading will guide you in unearthing and using your own strange jewels! You’ll get actionable tips on understanding your gifts and actively engaging your creativity.
If you try this spread, I’d love to hear your thoughts! Leave a comment and tell me what you learned.
This is one area where an outside perspective might prove incredibly useful. If you’d like me to give you some personalized tarot guidance to encourage you in activating your strange jewels, you can purchase this spread from me here.

I love this spread! I just gave it a try and received interesting answers, especially from the last card. (Which looked as if it was talking exactly about something that happened to me yesterday evening!) I just have doubts about Five of Cups as my “hidden” creative gift… could it mean that I can accept and work with my less pleasant feelings?
Thanks for sharing the spread, Carrie!
I’m so glad you found the spread interesting! 🙂
The Five of Cups is an interesting card to see there. I have a lot of ideas about what it might mean but the first thought that popped into my head was “growth and creative expression that happens as a direct result of experiencing difficult emotions.” For example, this could suggest your more hidden ‘strange jewels’ include counseling skills, expressing emotions in innovative ways, taking difficult circumstances and using them as fuel to create something meaningful, finding the meaning in past events via creative output, etc. It definitely gives me the impression that you have the ability to heal yourself (and probably others, as well) via your creative gifts.
Thanks for sharing this great spread, Carrie. From the visual cues in my reading, I learned that one of my challenges is I’m always seeing things from a different perspective which makes it difficult to convey my vision to others.
