how to use card decks
as inspirational tools for living

MELISSA offers illumination on using card decks in general and more specifically through the use of her own two decks.  She will help to take the mystery out of using decks as well as suggesting ways of opening to Spirit prior to and during consulting the cards.  Coming from the other side of the equation, Melissa will also address how to know if you can trust the information another reader has presented to you.  Come and join us in making the most of these divinatory tools and learn how to best enjoy the magic of what they have to offer.
