Should I Return to Art?

“Do I pick this back up?”

The 7-card layout

1. What it was to you
2. Why it stopped
3. What is still there
4. If you return to it
5. If you leave it
6. What is really in the way
7. What to do with that

Hold your question in mind, then shuffle.

Turning the deck is why cards come out reversed. A reversed card is not a bad card - it is the same card at a lower ebb, blocked, or on its way out.

For anything you used to make and stopped making. What it was to you, why it stopped, what is still there, and how returning and not returning each read.

  • 7 cards
  • One person
  • Upright & reversed

What each position asks

These meanings belong to this spread. A card is read for the place it lands in, so the same card says something different in position 1 than it does in position 7.
