If we have a desire to act angrily, violently, or impulsively, we try to bury it or ignore it. This is one of the sources of the frustration that the ritual is designed to dispell. So, the spread worked wonderfully as an inspiration in this case. I designed a ritual around the idea of first acknowledging the charging centaur who is living in the shadows, then deflecting his energy with the old king's lazy, philosophical, poetical brand of hedonism. I think the two-card spread was perfectly suited to the task, bringing together two complementary elements of the matter in a simple, manageable way.
Simplicity is often a great virtue.
