Do you always use one spread, reading after reading?

Do you only know one spread?

It is surprsing how many will answer yes to those two questions.

I wonder what the most popular spreads are.........

Hi Gem,

I think this is a great question. Since I consider myself a beginner I want to make sure I continue to try using a number of different spreads so I don't get too attached to one particular spread.

While I find that the Celtic Cross seems to be the most interesting without getting overly complicated, I also enjoy using shorter spreads.

I do agree that the spread used would depend on the nature of the reading and the querent, but it also depends upon my instinct and approach to the reading.

Sometimes less is more.

why am i not in bed yet! just feel like being up!

i use to use the celtic cross all the time and unlike Lisalisa i found it a little complcated! but it seem to work very well actually so one day i'm sure i will go back to it. i was feeling a little over whelmed by it.
right now i use a the 3 card spread and that seems to works very well and feels more stright forward to me. i really like it alot because it seems to get to a faster point then the cross.

I like the way you do three sets of three George, that is a very good way of reading

thank you! its always nice to hear postitive comments! i'm having such a great day today!

that actually started out as just three cards then went to six then nine and just last night it went to twelve. sometimes when i lay the cards i just feel the need add another row and so forth.
