I'm also assuming that we will shuffle the deck before each daily draw; if we don't we might as well lay the whole thing out on the first day.

Some also just draw all the cards for the entire spread on the first day and just release their readings/interpretations one card at a time. I don't think we have hard and fast rules that we must definitely follow, aside from the terms RavenOfSummer laid in the spread description itself.

EmpyreanKnight is correct- no hard and fast rules for our group

Most of us will be pulling a single card each day and leaving it out in a designated area for the duration of the reading, as space allows. That is traditionally how the Yule reading is done as well, but people are free to do whatever works best for them. So if the reading is done in this way, you would NOT have the opportunity to redraw the same cards, since the cards drawn for the reading thus far would be already laid out. And the idea is that it is a single spread even though it's done over multiple days- so just as if you drew 12 cards at one time for a reading, you would not get any repeats for any of the cards.
For me, the daily ritual of shuffling the deck (minus the cards I had drawn from the previous days) and drawing a card is a big part of the reflective process of each day of the reading. But again, everyone should do what works for them here
