Did you know you can read any cards — Tarot cards, Oracle cards, playing cards, yes, even Pokemon cards — without ever reading a book? You already have all the background knowledge you need, if you can just figure out how to use it!
That’s what this course is all about: taking all your knowledge, interests, experience, and insight and learning how to put it all together intuitively in order to read your favorite cards for yourself, loved ones, and total strangers. Learn how to use the symbols and inherent energy of the cards to enhance your life on every level, how to use them as tools of divination, as inspirational muses, and as some of the most helpful problem-solving tools you’ll ever come across!
Master the cards by handling them, laughing at them, writing about them, giving them makeovers, voices, flavors, scents, and textures, and even acting them out. Even if you aren’t quite sure how to pronounce the word “tarot” yet, by the end of this course, you’ll be reading like a pro!
If you don’t live near Bradenton or you aren’t free during the times of the class at Om Gaia, I also offer the class by phone or skype and locally for a limited number of students. 🙂
