How to read it

  1. Hold one clear question in mind.
  2. Shuffle, then lay out 3 cards in order, from position 1 to 3.
  3. Read each card for its position: the same card means something different as "My light" than as "Bringing them together".
  4. Then read the cards together: the story they tell, which suits lead and how many are Major Arcana. The reader below shows this for you.
