Tea & Tarot Supernatural Café might not have found a store front location just yet, but owners Nina Harries and Catherine McLeod will gladly come to your door. With a keen interest in the tarot, both business partners set up in the comfort of your home to teach folks how to read their own cards and give them a snapshot of the now.
“The readings can provide guidance and self awareness to help people make decisions that affect their future,” says Harries. “This can be a very empowering experience. We carry a line of subject related products including tarot cards, incense, and semi precious stones.
“We proudly carry unique handmade jewellery from local Nova Scotia artists. And a fabulous line of loose and the finest blooming teas which are made up of hand harvested green, white and jasmine teas. The teas are created by a Chinese medicine doctor and offer an array of health benefits. We also carry a vegan friendly line of candles made by local artisans.”
The intentions of these home-based events are to teach the origins of the tarot –self-divination and meditation. House parties are most often comprised of 5-9 people. Each person leaves with a reading. “How much they read themselves is up to them and how much they wish to put into the experience,” says Harries.
Tea & Tarot Supernatural Café hopes to find a storefront location in early 2009. Until then they can be reached at 425-8731

I have a keen interest in tarot. I play actual card games with tarot! Those who know tarot history, know that those cards were made for a card game and not for divination. The tarot card game is popular in Quebec now. Does the Tea & Tarot Supernatural Cafe offer tarot game tournaments? If not your article should have noted that they are only offering divination tarot. The media should not assume that tarot is only about divination. They should acknowledge it is also a type of card game.
