How many ways are there to lay out tarot cards, and which is the best?

Hello FunkyMan





There are many hundreds of layouts to choose from.





I feel that the best spreads are those that you make for yourself.

The only place to lay them is in the fire. Turn or burn! To dable with the Devil is a Evil-Death.

There is no such thing as "the best" spread. There are only different spreads for different purposes, depending on the issue at hand, the level of detail you want, and your comfort level with interpreting spreads at those levels of detail.

I lay my cards out different all the time. It depends on the question and my mood.


What is best? What feels right.
