TAROT READINGS FUNDRAISER: HELP OUT 2GQ & THE EASTER ISLAND PROJECT

Missmagdalensamplegiftweb_2 dear people of the world & beyond:

wouldn't you or one of your loved ones simply adore getting a genuine, proper Tarot reading as a gift? why yes, you would! my psychic powers predict it.

readings may be redeemed in person or over the phone. please see seedcake.etsy.com for more info & to purchase your gift certificate. let the mystical mayhem begin!

i've been reading Tarot for nearly two decades, have written about Tarot and other oracles for publication, and i am the creator of the Burning Tarot deck.

the Easter Island Project is an ongoing work inspired by my personal experience and subsequent research into childlessness in our culture. all Tarot proceeds benefit the non-profit arts and literary organization 2GQ—specifically, computer related expenses—and The Easter Island Project—specifically, expenses for related travels to San Francisco, Seattle, and of course, Easter Island, Chile, in the South Pacific. non-financial support is also welcome.

xo and thank you...

miss magdalen

PS: and i've lately been recruited to do parties with this, too. great fun.
