| The Two Paths spread provides insight into an important decision ahead of you, the possible outcomes, and the forces that draw you towards each of these outcomes. The Rider Waite Tarot is the most widely recognized Tarot deck, and the first deck published in the 20th century. It was created by members of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, and is especially suited to questions of a mystical nature.

 | The top left card represents the first possible outcome. The Lovers, when reversed: Inner strife, frustration, suspicion, and disagreements in a relationship. Irresponsibility and indecision. Avoiding true intimacy in favor of lust. Unfaithfulness. |
 | The top right card represents the second possible outcome. Three of Swords (Sorrow), when reversed: Unsettling news that helps you to distance yourself from a destructive relationship.

A trust or confidence betrayed in an attempt to help someone in need. The revelation of a painful truth. |
 | The middle left card represents the force drawing you towards the first possible outcome. Ace of Swords, when reversed: The seed of defeat - perhaps as yet unseen. A challenge met with the invocation of force, leading to disastrous results. Reason and intelligence misdirected or cast aside, resulting in injustice and falsehood. An excessive power abused.
