Another important aspect is that the seeker must use the left hand for splitting the shuffled deck. You, then have to place the split card piles in any way you like. The cards will then be turned according to the tarot spread, as per the wish of the seeker. Keep it in mind that the numerology of the cards is also a very important factor.
