What is fixed
In an honest reading, deck order, chosen positions, card orientations, question, spread, and oracle voice matter. These parts must be sealed before interpretation.
- • Deck order
- • Selected cards
- • Upright or reversed orientation
- • Spread and positions
Why orientation should not be a manual trick
In a living deck, a card may land upright or reversed independently of someone's wish. Orientation should be part of chance, not a way to fit the answer.
Client draw or oracle draw
Both modes are valid. In the first, the user chooses cards from a shuffled deck. In the second, the system draws for them. In both, selection must happen before interpretation.
- • Client draw strengthens participation.
- • Oracle draw suits a quick answer.
- • Dual deck suits only spreads that explain it.
What is not a fair reading
If the answer is created first and cards are selected to fit it, it is not a card oracle. If cards change after payment or after generation, trust breaks.
