How do you ask the cards questions?

[Tapwater]

I haven’t found my cards to be really accurate, or I find the meanings really confusing with the playing cards. What’s the best way to ask questions?

The best way no matter if you use Lenormand, Orakel, Tarot or anything is, to ask clear and precise questions. Yes/no questions are difficult in my opinion pendulums work good for such questions. 
What questions do you ask?

[Tapwater]

I’ve done some research. I’ve started to shuffle better and not use jumpy cards and I shuffle and cut the deck instead. I also have been doing 3 card spreads and using questions like “what do I need to know about ———“ or “what are ——- feelings towards me” I think it gave me a pretty brutally honest answer too.

Well one of my mottos is: do not ask if you do not want an answer. 😉 Glad your practice is getting better!

It’s nothing I didn’t already know I suppose. My psychic already told me everything I needed to know. This just confirmed it in a much less fluffy way😂

If we listen and are ready we know 😉Tarot etc are just tools to help us see, if we ‘block’ ourselves 😊

Do you use tarot, oracle or cartomancy?

Right now I only use Lenormand and Tarot for the ISG circle.

Have you ever tried cartomancy?

Cartomancy literally means fortune-telling or divination using a deck of cards. So lenormand and tarot is cartomancy. If you mean regular playing cards or some other system, you might want to be more specific.

As @Raggydoll pointed out the meaning of Cartomancy, yes I have as I use Lenormand and sometimes Tarot. But I have never used Playing cards.

I’m pretty sure cartomancy refers to reading using playing cards?

Not fully correct. If you ask google, the first sentence I came accross when asking what is Cartomancy: Cartomancy is fortune-telling or divination using a deck of cards.

 

As long as cards are involved, it is Cartomancy.
