The Celtic Spread
0
. The Significator. This is either cut for and placed face up on the table in the case of a Situational
question (where it represents the situation) or selected beforehand from one of the Court Cards and laid
face upwards before shuffling and cutting the cards at the start of the divination, in which case it
represents the person primarily involved in the question and should be the card nearest in description
and character to that person. (The details of the sixteen Court Cards from which the Significator may
be drawn have already been listed in the section on the Minor Arcana.)
The sentence accompanying the laying of the Significator in this spread is, 'Here he be.'
1
. The Cover. This card is laid face upwards directly over the significator and represents those
circumstances in favour of it. The sentence is, This covers him.'
2
. The Cross. This card is laid at right angles, to the significator and the cover, horizontally across
them, and represents those influences working against them. The accompanying sentence is, 'This
crosses him.'
3
. The Base. (3) This card is laid face upwards below the three in the middle, and represents the
foundation of basis of the influences working on the situation or person. The sentence spoken is, This
is beneath him.'
4
. The Card Behind. This card is laid to the left of the middle cards, and represents the influence that
has just passed. The appropriate sentence is This lies behind him.'
