Bring your take-home containers and a healthy appetite!

What's all the hype about card readings anyway? Is there a difference between tarot and oracle? (There is!) Have you wanted a deck, but not sure how to use it? Maybe you have a deck and are just starting to play around. Join Angie for an informative, fun, and hands on class as you get an introduction to oracle cards and read them for yourself! If you have a deck of your own, feel free to bring it. If not, no worries, Angie will bring a bunch with her for you to practice with. After this class, you might find it helpful to use oracle cards on a regular basis for a little guidance, insight, and confirmation.
