By admin on September 5, 2019

Tarot is a deeply personal form of divination and self-healing, and so there are many different answers to how to shuffle and lay out Tarot cards, from very simple to highly elaborated rituals.

Clear your mind and focus on the cards, relax and try to leave the noise and activity of your day to day life behind for a while.
