Reading A Regular Deck of Playing Cards
Playing cards were my very first divination 'tool'. Long before I even new the classical interpretation of each card. Below are the meanings of the cards as I learned them and have always used them. Over the years I've tried to learn 'new' meanings and add the rest of the deck, but to no avail. The cards are a focal point for me when I channel and not the source of the information I obtain.

True Quartz Crystal Balls can be quite expensive. Also, never substitute a resin or glass ball since they are ineffective for anything other than children's games.

My Reading With Annee Jawor
April 22, 2003
After reading the article, I booked an appointment for a reading shortly afterward.
Here's my experience:
-She instantly knew I was a psychic/medium
-She accurately diagnosed my current lack of vision as being a result of 'sleep deprivation'
-She went right into my husband's unemployment and the stress it was causing him.
-Described in explicit detail how important his career is to him, and that he took a chance that had left him feeling quite disillusioned.
