Magick and Tarot with Charis Waters

If you have purchased a new deck recently or there is a deck in your collection that you just can’t seem to connect with, try one (or all) of the tips below to help you develop a closer relationship with it. Tip #1: Look at the images. I realize that this might sound silly, but often we pick up our decks and use them immediately without really examining each card because we already know the general meanings. Every deck has its own nuance, personality, and flavor that it brings to the readings we use it for.

Where should we focus our intentions this month? Page of Wands: We need to spend time tuning into our Higher Selves this month and really connecting to the spiritual paths we are on.
