Using Guidance Cards and Automatic Writing to Connect with the Angels - PRISCILLA BENGTSON

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.
