A birth card is based on your date of birth. Tarot birth cards are a combination of two to three Major Arcana cards that outlines your core identity and approach to life. Tarot birth cards are calculated based on your birth date and use numerology as the basis of how to calculate your Tarot birth card pairing. Your Birth card represents your journey and what you cannot avoid.
In the first half of the workshop Connie will teach a history of tarot and more about the deck, and the second half will be hands on with your tarot deck and Connie’s guidance.
You will leave this workshop with a clear understanding of the Major Arcana and how it can affect our personal lives and the lives of those around us.
Plus, you will receive a discount on all tarot products!
