The story is in the draw

You have discovered and integrated the possibilities offered by your game, it is now up to you to interpret the score that it is going to play for you, with the complicity of your consultant. Cartomancy is above all the art of interpreting this assembly, of connecting the dots between them, to bring out a story. There are several methods: you can practice a so-called cross draw, which will make you draw 5 cards, or the astrological draw, which uses 13 cards.

The first draw asks you to place the fortune telling cards in the order of a traditional Catholic sign of the cross: left, right, up, then down. The last card is a so-called summary card, you get it by adding all the numbers of the first 4 cards drawn, minus 4, the number of cards. This number corresponds to that of the card, which serves as a summary for your draw.

The other draw is longer, the first 12 clairvoyance cards drawn each determine an aspect of your life, and the 13^th serves as a synthesis (to see if you are not afraid of this number 13, as these people interviewed on France Info). Your current situation, your activities, your actions, your home, your projects, your daily life, your relationships, the changes in your life, your movements, your work, your relationships with your friends, your relationship to yourself, all of this is analyzed using this type of draw.
