Occult Tarot Reading and Spiritual Advice - "Turn-Key Tarot"
Why get a Tarot Reading? Tarot is an ancient system composed of the 78 painted cards known as the Tarot Cards. Each Tarot card has a name and a number, to illustrate a variety of meanings. In the ancient days, only the Royalty was permitted to engage with the Tarot – because the Tarot was known to provide accurate information that was impossible for one to know! What makes the Tarot unique, is that it possesses a “Universal Mind” which makes it a “data system” to be reckoned with. This “data system” has a clear grasp of the totality of your life experiences, and can predict the future. I am the author and creator of the "Turn-Key Tarot Personal Guidance System for Daily Living" which employs a superior method to help solve your problems at "moment’s notice," release your emotions, obtain closure, and envision the desired outcome to any situation at hand. My clients experience a lot of enlightenment during their Tarot sessions, as they receive a great deal of advice directly from the Universal Mind, whereby they are shown how they too can create their own reality. You can book your telephone session for $38, or you can book an in-person session for $125, by clicking on the button "Choose," and then clicking on the button "Book just for you and your group" when prompted into the checkout.
