Practical Exercise for this week

Now it's time to practice the 3 card reading. You need only remove the court cards of Swords and Pentacles, as you should now be getting to grips with the rest of the deck.

You can also try a reading with just the Wands and Cups suits. This will be a reading focused on love and relationships, and work and career, but hey isn't that what most of us are interested in?! Ok, Ok, some of us are also interested in Money, but we aren't doing the Pentacle Court cards till next week.
