an adept seat opens this spread
the celtic cross is a 10 cards lay — ten cards. the old map. the long answer. each position below holds a question, and she reads the cards as one voice, each colouring the next.
the positions
- 1
the heart
the core of the matter.
- 2
what crosses
the obstacle or the catalyst.
- 3
beneath
the foundation, what's underground.
- 4
the recent past
what just walked out the door.
- 5
above
the conscious aim, what you say you want.
- 6
approaching
what's about to walk in the door.
- 7
you
you, in this matter — your posture, your fear.
- 8
your house
the room around you — people, conditions.
- 9
hopes & fears
what you're praying for and dreading at once.
- 10
the outcome
where this leads, if the current holds.
lay the 10 cards in order, then let her read them as one voice — each position colouring the next. ask a real question first; vague questions get vague cards.
