Which spread should you use?
Use one card for a daily pull, a quick yes-or-no lean or a single focused question. Use three cards when you want to see how a situation developed and where it is heading. Use the Celtic Cross when the question has many moving parts and you are willing to sit with ten cards. Whatever the layout, the cards are drawn with the same cryptographically secure shuffle described on the methodology page.
