Yeah, follow the energy
Is this odd?

How very interesting, I like the idea and will now try just laying cards down for a question.
I think I had a reading like this once. She seemed to lay 3-5 cards in a area and then move to another area and I think she was asking for clarification sometimes and other times when she moved she was asking new questions.
Your conversation has made it clear and i like it.

I find that I'm using spreads less and less, I 'chat' with my cards.
I ask a question and lay down 3 cards, ask another and lay down another 3. I keep going until I have the answers I need.

I used to "kill" myself with spreads of like 16 cards, where there was an exact position for everything... lol I agree it's good for learning, but now i also sort of chat with the cards.

actually, shemsu sutekh, I'm doing pretty much the same thing! I do occasionally still use a spread, but for the most part, just lay out a few cards, (generally 3 to 7) for information on the situation and read them from left to right. I seem to get just as accurate a read as I do with a spread, but I prefer this to a spread, since I don't have to go looking around for that 'perfect spread'. I don't think it really matters how you choose to do it, just whatever you feel comfortable with.shemsu sutekh said:

Spreads etc.
I started off using a reduced variant of the Celtic cross which in my opinion is far too heavy going for complete beginners anyway. In simple practical terms you would need a table suitable for king Arthur to opperate some spreads !
Without wanting to bore people on the preamble of shuffling, spreading etc., i choose four cards, placed in a linear left to right with no prescribed positional meanings. This gives all the elements a chance to appear which in my opinion makes for a balanced spread. For additional back-up meaning i take the top card and place to the left and the bottom card placed to the right to represent the immediate past and immediate future, ie. about a week, so finish with six cards in total.
Always, i've had accurate asistance and useful information but sometimes not quite the brainpower to fully comprehend........
By the way, i have a sharp brand microwave 24 years old just to cheer up the commentator of newer technologies. If a lamp has wick and paraffin (kerosene) i understand better !

I'm starting to go more with just laying down cards for a reading as well. I like using spreads, but lately Í just pick a few cards for each question and it really works for me. It's less limiting than a spread with particular meanings attached to particular positions.
