There are many, many types of spreads you can choose from to answer a wide variety of questions.  In
some cases as little as 1 card can answer a question.  But for some, they have more complex questions
and like to have a number of cards chosen to answer those questions..  It's a personal choice.   

Spreads form the heart of tarot.  They create the stories the cards tell and depict recurring patterns that
are both visible and invisible, known and unknown, obvious and hidden.  Some spreads answer specific
questions.  Others work best for general situations and conditions.  There are even spreads to answer
questions not yet asked.  

I do not want to limit you to a set number of possible spreads.  I prefer to work with the seeker to find the
perfect spread for them.  I will strive to answer any type of question you may have or just offer general
guidance.  I have even found that a certain situation may be so unique that I needed to create a new
unique spread.  Yep, it's ok to do that to!!

A tarot reading is different from the type of card reading done with a typical pack of playing cards.  Not to
say those types of readings are not helpful, just that a tarot reading will lay out the answers for you with
beautiful artwork, in vivid color.  You can check out the
decks page to see sample cards from a few of my
tarot decks.

Below I am going to give you a few examples of spreads you might choose from, but there are so many
more.  We will talk about this in detail before we actually start so you will get the best possible answer to
your question.
