Chapter 1 - 5

“Yes, of course. Please, sit down,” Tina said, motioning to the chair Reginald was sitting in. Reginald moved out of the way and let the girl with thick glasses and a heavy sweater sat down.

Tina reached into her burlap purse and pulled out an almost pristine deck of tarot cards. The girl looked mildly distrustful, but soon forgot about it when Tina became shuffling quickly and professionally. “I’m going to need you to write down a question on that piece of paper there, something you want to gain insight on. Avoid yes or no questions, keep it personal, keep it positive, and let me know when you’re ready.”

The girl took the index card laying nearby and wrote down a question quickly. She cast a weary glance at Reginald, but put the question down in front of Tina.

“Hmm. Alright. I’m going to use a Celtic Cross, if that’s fine.”

The girl just nodded, hoping to get this started. Tina set the deck forward for the girl to cut, and she did so.

“Okay, now, stay focused on your question.” Tina drew the first card, a six of cups. “For your reference, I’m dealing to you. It’ll be reversed if you see the card upside down.” She placed the card in the center of the table, then drew the next and placed it on top of the next. She continued drawing, placed four cards around the central cards and four cards in the staff.

The girl looked at the spread, and obviously didn't understand. “What does it say?”
