Consulting the Cards
There is no one specific way to consult the cards. But here are some guidelines on how I would recommend you use the cards for daily inspiration, a point of contemplation or some comfort.
Before selecting a spread, think about your issue, or situation and focus on your question at hand. Sometimes it helps to ask an open question like, 'What do I need to know about this situation?
One Card Contemplation
Sometimes, you might just want to choose a card on a daily or weekly basis to offer a point of contemplation. The theme of the card might resonate with you throughout the week, or you may even have an ah-ha moment, when you see and feel the full relevance of the card. Alternatively, it might just offer a fresh perspective on your approach to the day or the week, or something to think about in the back of your mind.
Three Card Spread
For those of you who want a more in depth reading, I would recommend a three card spread.
The first card you select should tell you something about the overall situation at hand that you're thinking about. Maybe it provides some insights into your project or life situation that you're considering.
The second card tells you something about what you can learn from this situation or circumstance. What else have you perhaps not thought about as a potential source of insight in this situation?
The third card tells you about the opportunity that this situation or circumstance offers. What is there that might be worth exploring further? What guideline might help you in completing this project or dealing with this life situation.
