Tea Leaf Readings and Tarot Card Readings!
 Divination is the art of using various tools for direction and the answering of life's many questions and it has been used for thousands of years. It is not the art of just simply "seeing the future" it is also used to understand the energies that may be around in a given situation. Roxie has been reading tea leaves, crystals and tarot cards for over 20 years, and she has taught numerous classes and workshops on these topics. During your insightful reading, you will learn about the legends, lore and healing properties of these various types of divination. We can offer a private tea, rune stone or tarot card reading for you, and we also offer home parties and group events. Contact us and we'll bring the magic of divination to you. You can always check the schedule at Sun, Moon and Stars Herbals at 38 Front Street, Rollinsford, NH for our schedule of reading dates - 603-617-3590.
