How to Read the Cards

Before beginning any reading, it’s important to identify you or your querent’s intentions and expectations. To get the ball rolling ask, “What do you want to know?” and “Why do you want to know it?” After spending a moment on this, you can formulate a clear question. Avoid “yes” or “no” questions. Beginning with the word “what” is helpful. For instance, “What do I need to know about…” Hold this question in your mind as you begin the reading.

• STEP 1: Center yourself with a cleansing breath and hold in your mind’s eye your inquiry or request for support from Spirit. The Creative Alchemy Oracle Deck is a gateway to your subconscious, so trust your intuition.

• STEP 2: Shuffle and cut your deck.

• STEP 3: Pull the card/s from the top of the deck and place them in front of you face up. Trust your own instincts about what the card is communicating with you. Notice what other images come to mind. Notice how the card makes you feel? This is all information. You can also consult the directory above by clicking on the corresponding image for more information about each card.

Single Card Reading

A single card reading is a wonderful way to start your day. While shuffling through your deck, ask yourself something like “What do I need to focus on today?” Cut the cards once and turn over the top card. Spend a moment meditating on the imagery. What is your higher self communicating?

Three Card Spread

A three-card spread is a great way to clarify a situation. You can use it to answer any question because it’s meant to cut right to the heart of an issue. Here are a few variations to try.

PAST | PRESENT | FUTURE

MIND | BODY | SPIRIT

BACKGROUND | PROBLEM | ADVICE
