Ok, this one was designed by villainny and myself a few days ago and it's awesome! It's not for the fainthearted though as it is seriously long and the person you're reading it for should be prepared to hear some hard truths. Be kind because the cards won't be! Read it while you have copious amounts of tea and cake and the occasional hug for the querent. It is a very introspective spread used for dealing with patterns of behaviour and advice on how to move past them. Please try it and tell us what you think!
