The High Priestess — II
The cards do not lie — they simply show you what you already know but haven't found the courage to say out loud yet. In this chapter you will find cartomancy guides, tarot references, card meanings, spreads, and the living tradition of reading that was handed to me long before I understood what I was holding.
