Celtic Cross
A fuller picture, held one piece at a time.
The Celtic Cross is for a question with several layers. Ten positions explore the present, the challenge, what sits beneath it, influences around you and a possible direction. Move slowly; the spread is a map for reflection, not a fixed future.
