What Can You Learn from A Tarot Reading? By Margaret VanLaanMartin

T

arot cards do not tell the future. Tarot readings are best used as a tool of inner wisdom and guidance, as readings give a person insight to past, current, and future events based on the person's current path at the time of the reading.
