What is Intuitive Tarot Reading and How to Begin

Ray, owner of Seven Seances Tarot, believes in practical, useful tarot readings. Tarot, in Ray’s opinion, can’t predict the future—it’s more like talking to a good friend and getting some guidance. Using the traditional Rider-Waite tarot deck, on Thursday, October 19, from 6:30pm – 7:30pm, Ray will explain in detail what intuitive tarot reading means and how to begin the process of learning it, complete with book recommendations. Each person attending will get a mini tarot reading as well! This is a free program, but registration is required. Teens and Adults are encouraged to sign up.
