GENUINE, PROPER TAROT READINGS: the 2GQ Fundraiser

As you may have heard on NPR the other day, proper Tarot readings with genuine Tarot readers are making a comeback (something to do with that tanking economy). Get a reading & help raise funds for 2GQ projects.

Popular among the cynical, depressed, confused, and bewildered, along with spiritual seekers and people who still haven't dropped out of their yoga shalas. The perfect gift! Buy your tarot gift certificate today at Etsy.com with your Paypal account or fancy credit cards.

About the reader: Miss Magdalen of Mystical Mayhem has been reading the cards for 18 years, and has written about oracles, astrology, and the like for Stim, Digital Living, BP magazine, and Rob Breszny's Free Will Astrology website. She is the creator of the original Burning Tarot deck at Burning Man. (Free tarot decks available soon - keep reading for info.)

May be redeemed in person (in Portland, Bay Area, NYC, and of course on Easter Island, Chile) or over the phone.
