Does anyone do this? ........... Sometimes I read for myself and only see the view that I want to see. So I have just done a simple 4 card spread - and used 2 decks, placing one of each in each place (so 8 cards in tatal but still only 4 positions). This has truly allowed me to see the 2 sides of my queery - as if each of my decks has a point of view that they are putting across to me. Very helpful! I used my only 2 decks - cosmic and buckland romani

Yes, I do this. I even designed spreads that need more then 1 deck. Each of my 3 Decks has a distinctly different view on the issues, so it's very helpful to draw some cards for each deck.

I do this a lot. It's great for getting the "other side of the story," especially for personal readings, which I too tend to read with bias. Nevada

I like to do this too. Though for small spreads only, otherwise I'm getting impatient because it's taking so long ;) and I don't read as intense as might be better. But it really helps to see the issue clearer. It's like asking two friends to tell you their opinion and you can decide what you're going to do based on different points of views. I especially like to do it with the LS Pagan and the LS Gothic Vampires. The difference of "light" and "dark" (I hate these expressions) makes it very interesting. It also helps to get to know your decks better, if you have too many. Not that anyone here would have this problem. :D

I am glad you guys are doing this too - it's really working for me!
