Tools of augury:
When a supernatural problem is present, you can use your deck of cards to "read" the situation. The GM arranges the deck, face down, and then the players draw from it. Place the first card in position 1 on the spread board, the second card in position 2, etc. Each position corresponds to a different facet of the scenario's problem.
The results are evocative hints of varying degrees of obviousness and literalness. Leave the spread on the table, to look at as you move forward. Ignoring it is fine (no need to "solve" it), but it's a good option whenever you'd like more inspiration for ways to proceed.
(There are also the specifics of the spread positions, plus rules about how the GM creates the spreads. If you'd like to know that stuff, just ask!)
