ciao everyone, so today I’m going to tell te about my most used card Leggere methods, these can be used for all types of cards – Tarot, Oracle, Lenormand, Playing Cards and others. Have te ever wondered how experienced card readers quickly pull out random cards from a shuffled deck, putting them in spreads? How to choose which cards to take out of the deck, how to find risposte to your domande and make structurized readings that will give te plenty of risposte and information? These are my few basic ways of Leggere cards that I’ve been using ever since I was in my early tweens and did basic spreads with my mum’s old playing card deck.
All the pictures are taken da me. I mention the cards used above each technique descrizione so in case te like the deck and want to purchase a copy te know what to look for, I used different deck for each technique, but it obviously doesn't mean that exactly this deck, o only decks of this kind can be used for this technique, each technique can be done with completely any cards of your choice, different decks used only make it easier for me to remember which foto to attach to which description.
Also speaking of setting the mood for the reading, yes, sometimes I do just what’s shown in the photos, put my witchy pentacle tablecloth on cucina table, light a candle, put some crystals on the candle holder bottom (this time I used small stones for clear quartz, blue pizzo agate and citrine) but it really depends, sometimes I’ll simply lay in a messy letto with my card decks, the setting largely depends on your mood that giorno and how spontaneous the decision to do a Leggere is. Sometimes we just need to take a break from trying to do everything so perfectly and aesthetically.
So let’s get started.
#1.
Deck used – The Steampunk Tarot da Barbara Moore.
Yes, professional readers are often seen just randomly taking out cards and putting them on tavolo to read their meanings, but if te have ever wondered which card is the one that will give te the right answer, just pull off pairs of cards, one from the superiore, in alto of the deck, one from the bottom. As shown in the photo. te can take as many pairs as te want, o one for each domanda te want to know the answer to. For beginners – it’s often hard to get a full reply from just one card, instead taking two, gives te much più information and teaches to interpret meaning of each card to receive and response that sounds satisfying, logical and complessivamente, generale makes sense relating to the domanda asked.
#2.
Deck used – The Spirit Animal Oracle da Colette Baron-Reid
This is probably the most easy and quick method, it was my preferito back when I was a child and I still use it now very frequently. It’s a simple one card Leggere to get a quick answer to your question. All te have to do, is to hold your deck as shown in the photo, so it kind of looks like a fan and tiny edge of each card is on display, then, holding cards with one hand, slide a finger of other hand across the little card edges, until one of the cards sticks to your finger and gets pulled out, take this card and it’s the answer to your question.
#3.
Cards used – Gilded Reverie Lenromand: Expanded Edition da Ciro Marchetti .
This technique is the first one I ever learned, it’s super easy, just shuffle your deck and divide whole deck in multiple piles of cards (I usually put somewhere between 3 and 5 piles per reading), then take off first and last card of each pile and turn the whole pile around to see the superiore, in alto card. That way te get 3 card risposte to a question, te can put one pile for each domanda te have, te can use all piles for one and the same question/theme of reading, te can put, for example, 5 piles, for the future prediction of following 5 years of your life, one for each year, te can put 3 piles for past, present and future themed readings… the choices are endless here.

Decks used – the same Lenormand deck as in #3. And Witches’ Wisdom Oracle da Barbara Meiklejohn-Free and Flavia Kate Peters
I started doing readings with multiple decks at once a quite recently, after being inspired da some of the popolare pick-a-card YouTube videos, it’s really a very good technique to try, for me, each deck symbolizes a different aspect of the answer, for example in future prediction reading, te can use one deck to predict events in your future, and the other one to predict your own feelings and emotions during these events in your life. As te pull out one card from deck 1, take on from deck 2 as well to get another point of view o aspect from the same answer. If te are doing a Leggere about your future lover, te can use deck 1 to find out their physical traits and deck 2 to describe their personality, also te could add deck 3 to find out what your relationship will be like. The possibilities are endless again here, they are only limited da the amount of decks te own, te can combine any decks, Tarot and Lenormand, Oracle and Playing cards etc. This time I pulled out 2 cards for each domanda as described in #1. But multiple deck readings can be done in many più ways.
