Ritual tips
- This is a first-operation guide adapted to one card per position, not the complete method with five repartitions, significator location, and card counting.
- Use the gates to test the elemental domain of the question; one card cannot replace a full pile reading.
- Name the domain you expect before drawing, then compare it with the elemental gate that responds most clearly.
