Looking though descriptions of spreads, I'm beginning to feel that there are (at least!) two basic groups. Those where a single card is laid out in each position and then those where a whole pile of cards is (ultimately) dealt as one goes around the spread positions sequentially. I'm starting to be quite interested in these latter e.g. the "opening of the key" spread, the "tree of life" spread etc.
For those who DO attempt such things, my question is about card layout. (Yes I know such things are opinion!) but what exactly do YOU DO with all those cards? Do you lay out the piles with the cards beneath one another (and invisible), then remove the "stacks" one at a time for interpretation? Do you have have some sort of "fan" of cards in each position so you can see the whole lot? Or do you just have a VERY BIG table and somehow contrive to space them ALL out?
Ever Wondering...

P.S. Hmmm. On second thoughts, perhaps you only interpret the ONE stack - that which your "search" reveals as containing the significator? Guess you just invite the Querent(s) to drink/smoke/talk among themselves while you're doing all this frantic searching? Just trying to imagine!
