Sometimes we aren't exactly sure how to interpret the information. During this workshop we will explore two powerful ways to gain a clearer understanding of the messages we receive. Using Guidance cards you will learn how to prepare the cards for use for readings, do a variety of spreads and how to give a reading for yourself or someone else. The instructor will have cards to borrow or bring your own cards or purchase cards that day. Automatic writing is the process of writing material that does not come from the conscious thoughts of the writer. The writer is aware of their surroundings but unaware of what will be written as their hand forms the message. After a short meditation, participants will try connecting with the angels through automatic writing for themselves as well as for another.
