Announcing a new kind of card reading with the White Heart Deck.
Tobey White Heart is offering intuitive readings from her unique, one of a kind hand made modern Tarot deck. Inspired by her many years of studies in the arts, as well as her in depth explorations of the symbolism of the Tarot, the I Ching, tantric Buddhism, various Qi Gong practices, the Dreamtime and Native American lore, the deck is comprised of 108 cards, organized among eight colors of the Medicine Wheel and the worlds of shamanic journeying. A reading with the White Heart Deck is unlike any other you have experienced. See www.whiteheartwisdom.com for more info.

Start your year CLEAN and Undeterred with a Personal Cleansing Ritual
End of year Special $45
A message from Hua:
"A person may come to me feeling as though they have been psychically or energetically attacked. They may feel as though something negative has been attached, sucking their energies away. We call this feeling being shot with "dark arrows." I use sacred powerful medicines that have been passed to me through the years, to cut the ties of attachment, the energetic cables and wires which I can see attached to that person. I use special eyes and other clair-senses: guides, listening - my whole bag of tricks - to clean up what is not theirs, that which has gotten in the way, attached to where it does not belong."
