===Left and Right Hands===
A Practitioner will draw two cards, one with each hand. The various cards hold meanings depending on the hand.<ref name=":2">“Fool,” I said.  “High Priestess.”<br>
She arched an eyebrow.<br>
“Labels that were applied to me,” I said.<br>
“How, exactly?”<br>
“They were scrying me or something, using a spell to read me.  They drew the Fool with the right hand, the High Priestess with the left.”<br>
“Ah.  I don’t know that particular trick.”

[[Zoey Artana]] speculated this is interpreted based on basic aspects of the left and right hands, practically and symbolically. The right hand is the active hand, the hand fixed in the now, the one with which you address the world, while the left is the hand used when you’ve got our hands full, in times of stress, more clumsy, but strongest when used in concert with the other, rather than relying on the other alone.

The left hand has another meaning.  When referring to the parts of the body, terminology for the right side is Dexter, as in dexterity.  When referring to the left, the word is Sinister.  In superstition, the left is viewed to be the side closest to evil and thus the hand is used only when desperate.
