As always there are always positives and negative to the characters that we must be aware of depending on other cards laid in the spread.

When we chose cards to do a reading, we pick cards and lay them out in what we call a spread. There are many types of spread that are relevant to the question you may be asking. Where the cards a laid in the spread makes the reading that we tell.

Some people feel wary of the cards and think they are evil or spooky, I can assure you they are just pieces of cards produced by a machine and designer. It’s the question and the reader’s skills at interpretations via intuition, psychic or clairvoyant skills that can offer the questioners many ideas outside the box or personal vision, opening up many options for consideration.

The outcome of how we proceed with our life questions is always our personal choice. We are in control of our destiny if not always the things others bring into our lives. But how we choose to deal with those issues is our decision. The cards can be profound guidance or entertaining, depending on what you want from them.
