Drawing just one card is the easiest and probably the most common method of reading. Without a storyline like when interpreting a spread, there are no cards to compare and contrast. Simply interpret the card as the answer to the question.
Alternatively, this method may be used repeatedly in succession to allow the cards to tell a story.
General orneriness and maliciousness are the vibes of this card. This symbolises a period of pain and suffering. There is a possibility of abuse. Be careful to avoid cruelty – both from yourself and others.
