Voice of Ayin - Tarot Spread

Voice of Ayin - Tarot Spread

Tarot Spread: The Voice of Ayin

If you seek to connect with Ayin, one of the best ways is to look into yourself. Lady Ayin is The Womb of The Creation, a space from which your soul emerges and where it seeks refugee from the created world, leaving your life to ego, in times when it can't operate fully (various reasons). Here is where your souls rests, rejuvenates, process wounds. In her embrace of silence and presence full of knowing.

Use this spread to work on your connection with Ayin, through personal journey within to touch the unknown of your own soul. This is where Ayin resides in you - in Womb of your own soul, where silence and nothingness hide limitless potential of creation.. or destruction. This is where you meet Ayin, The Mother from below creation. This spread can be use for guidance, shadow work. It is pretty universal. You can approach it with intention too, but before you start reading the cards - let it go, into nothingness with trust. Leave your ego behind and enter the Womb of the Soul, domain of Lady Ayin within your own being.

Use any divinatory tool that you feel pulled to. For best results seek moments of natural alignment with the void (New Moon, eclipses, times of transition, connection with the dead - Samhain, Ostara - or use additional tools to connect with Lady Ayin, such as her sigil, callings, black candle dedicated to her).

Positions & Meanings

1. The Shadow That Calls What within me longs to be seen, but I fear to face? 

→ This card reveals the entry point of Ayin into your consciousness through your own shadow. Expect deep truths, hidden wounds, or old cycles to emerge. Be open to confront shadows and uneasy emotions, seeking stabilising presence of Ayin who guides through the shadows. Through this answer you will know what needs to be addressed to hear the Voice of Ayin clearly. 

2. The Void Where I Grow What silence nourishes me? What happens in me when nothing happens? 

→ This space reveals the fertile soils of nothingness.  Here nothing happens and void is present, which takes us to the Womb of the Soul, where we can recognize Ayin’s domain within our own spirit.  The answer reveals how we respond to connection with Ayin as Mother of The Soul, what emotion arises and clouds it or what are positive aspects of this connection, that we only need to recognize to become aware of it. 

3. Face of Ayin What face does the Divine take in the void today? 

→ This card reveals the reflection of you in Ayin and the mask Ayin takes today, to connect with you. She is a mirror of your truth, not divided into shadows or light. The aspect she takes is highly personal message on its own. She takes form of an answer to questions you might not even asked yet.  Through this card she delivers answer. It may be silent knowing, recognition, vision or reflection of you. Sit with her and allow everything to emerge, without expecting a specific form, message. Be open to unknown. What may arise is doubt, distrust, but behind them you will find your answer. 

4.Threshold to cross Where am I between form and unmaking? What is dissolving within me? 

→ This card shows the challenge of transformation, describing to you what is unraveling through dissolution, where your ego withers away and grows weak to change its form. Allow the answer to dismantle gently this part, so you can experience a shift, a gift, a liberation Ayin offers, sewering ties to rotting concepts inside to set you free and renew your power. Let her take it away and seek the next card to tell you what will be given to you in return. 

5. Gift From the Other Side What gift does Ayin offer once I’ve passed through the void? 

→ For the offering of the rotting and decomposing part of your self, Ayin offers revelation, a blessing, new awareness. She gently pulls away shadows to show you what you will be given in return for your offering. This card holds the potential for integration, alignment, or reclaiming of spiritual power, personal power. 

How to Use the Spread

• Approach this spread without expectation, not seeking clear answers and specific effect (clarity, alignment, power) but a mirror for inner knowing, an unbiased and raw image of self.

• Immerse in silence and nothingness, allowing all senses to speak on their own, without sorting them out or expecting image, voice or knowing. Let yourself be free and null, like Ayin herself. Only then she can reveal herself to you, when you are able to be silent and void as she is. 

• Sit longer with card 3 – meditate with it as the personal reflection of the face of Ayin, that is only facing you, only now and reflects the most accurate truth in this moment. 

• Best times for divination with this spread is during the New Moon, eclipses, Plutonic transits, or when you feel lost, in-between, or hollowed out. When you naturally align with darkness of nothingness. We pass through it, we don’t stay - this is where we meet her naturally.
