Tarot is more than a tool of divination; tarot is a book of spiritual wisdom and a set of magickal tools. Explore new ways to use tarot in ritual, magick, meditation, self-discovery and attunement.
Most diviners will tell you that they get better readings, and feel better after their readings, if they perform their readings in sacred space.
