For my question, let's say we are doing a simple Past, Present, Outcome spread.
*********
**1*2*3**
*********
Which do you do?
Scenario A. Tell the querent to pick three cards, and position them in the spread, and proceed with the reading.
or
Scenario B. Let the querent choose the cards one at a time.
(With all cards faced down)
You: Choose one card that you feel will speak about the past that affects you now.
(querent picks, you put card in spread)
You: Now choose one that you feel will give you an advice for this present moment. What are you supposed to do?
(querent picks, you put card in spread)
You: Now, choose one last card which you feel will tell you the outcome of this situation.
(querent picks, you put card in spread)
You proceed with the interpretation.
