Reading
A single session of drawing and interpreting cards in a spread to reflect on a question or moment.
A reading is one session of drawing and interpreting cards. You settle on a question (or read open), choose a spread, shuffle and draw, then reveal the cards and read them as a conversation — noticing the suits, whether the Major Arcana appear, and where the cards agree or argue.
The skill isn't reciting 78 meanings; it's reading the relationships between the cards in front of you. And the last step matters most: let the reading land, take what rings true, and leave what doesn't. It's a lens for your own reflection, not a script to obey.
