[Opinion] Almost a tutorial on a Court card spread. Card for the day of the tarot Court cards and aces.

Everyone's got one.
A funny event occurred. A sealed capsule of pills was on my left laptop edge, and my coffee right next to it. I think of doing a Card for the Day of Court cards rather than deck, Minors or Majors. this means Enochian is in play. Reminder: each enochian watchtower tablet has four quarters assigned to an element, and the cross of names is Spirit with the seal atop.
So as I deal, I split in two piles after four knocks decking on which divine name to call on, I choose YHVH. I split the piles and picking them up my pills capsule falls in my coffee, I jokingly say let me guess .. earth of water or water of earth. I draw. King of Cups, Lord of the Waves and the Waters, Fire of Water.

If you will look and see on the Radiant Rider-Waite card King of Cups, he holds a wand of gold in his left hand, with his right hand he holds a cup upright. He has a clasp of a fish around his neck, which is interesting as the King of the Hosts of the Sea, rules Pegasus and 20deg Aquarius to 20 deg Pisces. (Approaching Aries)

His robes are brilliant gold royal blue and scarlet red. A crown atop his head, rests oink a cubical stone floating in the sea which forms a throne. To his left a whale is leaping and to the right a sailing ship.

The method....
1. Separate the major arcana, the aces, and the court cards.
2. Thoroughly shuffle as long as you need.
3. Concentrate on your question.
4. Divide the deck into two even piles. Place the leftone a little left.
5. Take up the right side half and separate into two piles, with the bottom of the deck far right and the remainder in between the left and right.
6. Take half the cards off the pile to the left , and place them left of the left pile.
7. Say mode hay valve hay as you pick up the far right pile placing it on top of the other right pile, taking the entire right pile, place on top of the right-left pile, and the remainder of the left deck on the bottom of the collected deck.
8. Pull the first card and place right side up the deck (the rest should be the back of the cards.).
9. Analyze your question compared to the card you pulled. This is your Card of the Day.

A Celtic Cross Spread of the Card of the Day

Take your Card of the Day and place it in the center. This is the significator. This presents you, also the question, the reason for the divination.
Take the top card of the deck and place it on top of the Card of the Day. This Covers the significator, current forces at play on the question.
Take the next card and place it sideways on top of the two cards. This Crosses. This is the problem involved. It prevents/crosses.
Take the next card, and place it above the trio of cards - this Crowns it, this is the force outside and above it.
Take the next card, and place it beneath the trio, this is Beneath, this is a force that doesn't resolve the question.
Take the next card and place it left of the trio, this if Behind them, a force dissipating.
Take the next card and place it to the right of the trio, this is Before, the incoming force.
Take the next card, Place it right of before. This is the Querent, this represents the defined question, the real question involved, and you. (like the significator)
