Let inspiration guide you. A dragon deck might represent your hope for power. Hold a deck and see how it makes you feel—the right one should energize you.
If you have passion on your mind, you might wash your deck with a red aura. If you feel a bit lost or confused, you might charge your deck with curiosity. If you sense you’re a free spirit, you might activate your deck with a wanderlust.
“Is now the right time to date?” “What is my calling or purpose?” “Where should I travel next?”
If you stop because you feel a spark, your deck may be excited to answer you. If you pause since you feel calm, your deck may want to reassure you. If you quit shuffling within seconds, your deck may sense your urgency.
Some cards may seem to “glow” or just strike you as very powerful. Some cards may have small details you find endearing, like nicks or creases. Some cards may soothe or calm you down when you look at them. Some cards may have “jumped” out of the deck after you shuffled them.
For 3 cards, try a Mind-Body-Spirit or a Situation-Action-Outcome spread. For 5 cards, try a Spread For Deeper Intuition: Card 1: What is my higher self telling me? Card 2: What does my soul want me to know? Card 3: What are my spirit guides sharing with me? Card 4: What path should I take? Card 5: What should I welcome into my life? For 7 cards, try a Deep Dive Spread: Card 1: What is my divine purpose? Card 2: What is my greatest strength? Card 3: What do I need to release? Card 4: How do I step into my most authentic self? Card 5: What obstacle should I be aware of? Card 6: What should I invite into my life during my journey? Card 7: What am I moving toward right now?
