How to read using the Major Arcana spread

Keep the Major Arcana and the Minor Arcana cards separate.

Shuffle and cut the Minor Arcana cards between every Major Arcana question.

Pull out three cards per question and read the cards in combination. If you are unsure what the cards are saying you can choose to use spreads like the Celtic Cross or pull out an extra card for clarification.
