Today I felt like drawing cards from a deck I’ve not posted before. I recently received The Answer Deck as a surprise gift from a friend, and the more I play with it, the more it surprises me. 
The cards I drew for today are really surprising since I can’t immediately place where they fit into my day–and my life.
- Deception
- Doubt
- The Lovers
I don’t have a lot of experience working with The Answer Deck, but what I get from these cards is that I’m feeling undecided about whether or not there is deception in a relationship.
Oooooh, you know how sometimes when you write something down, it suddenly crystallizes? Well, suddenly I think I know exactly what these cards are referring to…I feel moved now to draw an additional card to see if I can determine an outcome here for the doubt.
Hmmm…the additional card I chose is Change. That doesn’t really offer any clear outcome, but I’m reluctant to continue pulling cards for fear of totally muddling up the reading. I think the cards are saying that I will never know the truth surrounding the situation, but that my continued doubt has brought changes, and that is definitely true.
Another idea that comes to mind is that the card Change could refer to timing. The card clearly depicts an autumn scene with tree branches that have lost most of their leaves. Perhaps there will be an outcome after this coming summer.
I really like these little cards. They are meant to be read intuitively based on the card images and keywords. The little booklet that accompanies the deck offers specific interpretations for only a few of the cards that carry special meaning.
The Answer Deck comes with specific instructions for a 9-card spread that covers the past, present and future of a situation, and includes a fold-out glossy paper template with card placements for using this layout. I tried the layout a couple of times, and found it confusing–perhaps because I’m still learning to use this oracle. On the other hand, I’ve gotten some amazingly accurate answers from this deck by simply concentrating on a question and then drawing from 3 to 5 cards.
