Man, I wish I had this advice when I first started reading.
The first book I had was the Connolly method, and the Celtic Cross was the first spread explained.
It was tough, and confusing at first, so I basically changed it to fit what I felt worked for me. I didn't have any more trouble with it after that, but the inevitable result is, that I read the CC differently from many other readers I know. So what, I get very accurate information. But I have found that it really isn't an appropriate spread in some situations.
For a beginner, 3 card and 5 card spreads are a great way to learn. 5 card spreads are good because you can begin to see the relationships of the cards to each other a little more. Thirteen, once again, great advice!
