MoonRaven Tarot

Due to popular request I am now offering Tarot Reading Classes.  These classes will be done one on one so I can answer all your questions and work with you personally.  We will be in contact 3 times a week for one week or once a week for 3 weeks.  depending on how accellerated you would like the experience.  You can start at beginning levels or more advanced levels. 

Each Class is $50.  Register for two or more classes and get $5 off each class.  If you register for all 9 courses at once the cost is $350 which is a $100 reduction!  You will get a brand new Rider Waite deck sent to you prior to starting the classes as a sign up bonus (this is only good for first registration of first time students).  Class fee  includes a Word Document of basic training information, chat sessions with me, and assigned exercises to help you learn between sessions.  This is very personal hands on training and only a small amount of students can be taken per time, so please contact me to find out if there is room available.
