Apparently, this is the first redesign since the site was launched almost 10 years ago. At least, I was told that the "project" has taken six years ( Read more... )

So, I know I have issues. I recognize that even before I pick up my newest tarot deck. So, I think on those issues and everything else going on in my life while I shuffle the cards, gently ( Read more... )
