PCO: Using the Lost Man Spread for a friend

Although I have done the "Lost Man" spread in the past, ever since I watched Ana Cortez's video about it, I gained a new level of understanding regarding it and they it's supposed to be read. I decide to try it again today, during my lunch break.

I decide to read for a very good friend of mine, who lives abroad. He seemed upset the last time I talked to him, so I decided see what kind of things were surrounding him right now, and was very surprised by the result!



I chose Sol, the King of Clubs, to represent him. I shuffled the deck, and then looked for Sol and the cards that surrounded him.

The first thing that called my attention was the 5♠ (Circle of Crows) - a card of worry, that confirms my suspects that something wasn't right. Looking at the cards that come before the 5♠, I was surprised by the two very contrasting cards! Although diamonds and clubs are suits that complement each other (fire and air), these cards in particular have very opposing ideas to me.

PCO: a Lost Man Spread video

I would like to invite to all Playing Card Oracle enthusiasts to you watch the following video by Ana Cortez. She teaches how to use the Lost Man Spread, a way of laying the cards that allows you to see what "atmosphere" and influences are around a certain person or issue at the moment.

It's a very interesting spread, different from the usual 4-cards calendar spread that is used the the playing cards!

Enjoy!
