365 Tarot Spreads: Revealing the Magic in Each Day - Sasha Graham 2014

Knights Templar Spread

On This Day

Friday the thirteenth is considered an inauspicious day because the Grand Master of the Knights Templar, Jacques de Molay, along with hundreds of Templars, was arrested and imprisoned on Friday, October 13, 1307.

The Knights Templar were sanctioned by Pope Honorius today in 1128. The Templars grew in size and popularity, gaining so much wealth and influence that by 1307, King Philip of France and Pope Clement V conspired to bring them down. Tortured into false confessions and convicted of heresy, sacrilege, and satanism, many burned at the stake.

Summation of Spread

Knights swear with oaths, vows, and codes of conduct, and these pledges color future actions. The questions in this spread are based on the core tenets of knighthood.

Tarot knights are often messengers bearing news. Read the energy of your situation by paying close attention to the speed of the knight’s horses. A fast horse equals a speedy resolution, while a slow horse means more time will elapse.
