How do your read a yes or no question?

I usually do not read yes/no - but if I do it is not for myself - I usually read at least 3 to 5
cards and let the cards tell the story Judy Kerr

Basic yes/no - draw three cards and tally up the suits. More blacks = no or shades of,
more reds = yes or shades of. Spades are "blacker" than Clubs and Hearts are "redder"
than Diamonds. And Diamonds + Spades isn't a good combination - if it's yes it's not
going to be without difficulties or disappointments. (If the cards when read make some
sort of sense with regard to the question then that's a bonus.)

I use a three card draw like Judy does. Sometimes I use Mary Greer's yes/no oracle spread
using regular playing cards. I substitute the Wheel of Fortune with the Joker card when
using her spread. http://marygreer.wordpress.com/2008/06/02/yes-no-advice-oracle/

There are a number of members in this group who follow the cartomancy teachings of
Kapherus. He has had a blog on and off for many years and more recently started a FB
group, which he subsequently left. His teaching (from the little I know) is to draw 5 cards.
Reds x 3= probably yes, with the querent influencing the outcome; reds x 4= most likely
yes; Reds x 5= Yes. Blacks x 3= probably no, with the querent influencing t outcome;
blacks x 4= most likely no; Blacks x 5=no. Read the cards to give you an understanding
of the influences.
Others might be able to give you more insight into this method.

The red/black count hasn't worked for me as of late but I haven't tried it the way Dolores
just described either. It'll be my next experiment. 5 card draw instead of 3. Will let you
know how it pans out.

Here's another method that looks serviceable https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=igALTzfD3CM.
Also, at the end she makes some very good points about the benefits of practicing with
"silly" questions.

Thank you, Judy.

So, if you wanted to use Mary Greer's method (the Yes-No Advice Oracle) but you don't
use Jokers, what card would you use?
Maybe 9H as it's often the "wish" card, but it's also my "yes" card and having it
potentially ending up in the "no" pile just seems odd to me. :) Another option would be a
signifier either of the person asking or the situation being asked about. Personally, I'd
prefer to stick to one card and for me I think that would be JC, my luck/message card.

Judy it wasn't clear to me from the video that one pile was yes and the other was no. My
interpretation was the first card to show gave you the answer eg 9S showed up first so the
answer was no. I gave a wish spread which I can post if you like. Let me know.

Dolores, Nooni's video method as I understand it is to have two piles to allow for a
possible "maybe". By turning the two cards over together there's a slight chance that you'll
turn both 9s at the same time. Or at least, having turned the 9S first, the 9H may be in the
other pile, so not a 50-50 chance of maybe but still a possibility. But in her actual
example, the 9H was behind the 9S in the same pile, so a definite "no". Does anyone else
understand it differently?

Judy, yes I got that if you turned both 9s &9h at the same time it's unclear or "maybe".
But I think yes or no was decided by which showed up first regardless of the pile it is in.

Nevertheless, she went looking for the 9H in the other pile. Anyway, we can interpret our
results however makes sense to us. :)
