The One card spread
One card, one answer. The simplest reading there is.
The one place
1 The card
One card for the question, or for the day.
Where this layout comes from: Common practice; no single source.
The spreads
- Past, present, future Three cards in a line: how it came, where it is, where it goes.
- Yes or no One card, read for its lean. The tradition gives no rule for this; ours is declared.
- Celtic Cross Waite's ten-card cross for a definite question: the matter, its obstacle, its root, its past and near future, then you, your house, your hopes and the outcome.
