Tarot Readings by Michael J. Auger
From Michael Auger
I'll now be reading tarot on a regular basis at "The Simple Life" metaphysical shop in downtown Frederick!
119 E Patrick Street
Frederick, MD 21701
My first day as their in-house reader is this Saturday, Jan. 10th, from 11am - 5pm.
You can check their event calendar for additional dates I'll be at the shop:
I encourage buying local, and you can request the Allcento Tarot wherever tarot decks are sold.
You can also order, direct from my publisher:
And I also bring extra decks with me to my events that I am happy to autograph.
