One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I do things I love to do. It's so simple to make your everyday life interesting.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am really interested in the tarot cards and I can do for you a reading if you want. I am working with a book where I write about my own interpretations of the cards which deal with their history as well. That is to say that my knowledge of theme is connected to art history, occultism and creativity.
