Have you ever wondered if your love for another is really true or directed correctly?
The poet, Elizabeth Barrett Browning (1806-1861) was certainly sure of her love for another when she wrote Sonnets from the Portugese, Number 43.
This poem inspired the creation of The How Do I Love Thee Spread....
It's designed to reveal how you really feel about someone buy first choosing a Significator which reflects how you see the person. Then, it explores the depth of your love, if your love meets their needs, and if you love for them is pure, faithful and truly passionate. It explore it you are giving your love in body, mind and spirt and ends with the ultimate question, can you love this person forever?
It's not just for romantic love, it can be used to explore friendship and family relationships. This is a spread about giving love to others unconditionally and whole heartedly. After all, as someone once said, “Love has nothing to do with what you are expected to get, it's what you are expected to give, which is everything.”
The Lover's Path might be a nice deck to try this spread with.

True...I used the Victorian Romantic with it. It flowed very nicely.
