"The last question (the horizontal card at the bottom of the mouth) is
where a jack-o-lantern's candle shines brightest. If you use reversals, you'll
need to decide for yourself how to tell if that card is upright or not. One way
would be to read it whichever way it's drawn; I chose to read it as upright
regardless of how it landed in the spread."

Before
you deal the cards, you must pick the spirit guide that you wish to talk to and
find a court or arcana card that represents that person. Do the same for the
seeker. Also, if you have an object or photo connected to the person you're
trying to hear from, lay that out on the table. I, personally, have stones and
runes that I use specifically for this spread to give the connection extra
power. But when you do this, do whatever suits you best.
