Approaching the readings

How to perform a reading

  1. Before you consult the cards, first decide what issue or problem you want to think through
  2. Now examine each card in its layout in front of you. Does anything jump out at you? How does the card speak to the issue you are considering? Try thinking around both the meanings of the card (and the images they convey), as well as how that meaning can be related to the position of the card

Free association

It may be helpful to think about the wide range of different associations that the card has, and which resonate with you, either in general, or in relation to the specific problem you consider. Relax: try to give your unconscious the space to roam at this stage - if you find yourself thinikng about something unexpected, this might be helpful in relation to the specific issue you want to address, even if it isn't immediately obvious. Try as far as possible to let your mind wonder, uninhibited by the rules and logic which we normally impose on our thinking.

Other reading styles

Remember: this is just one way of reading the cards. There are many others. If you use or interpret Psycards in a different way, please share your method with us!
