Join bestselling author Lucy Cavendish, a seasoned Witch and professional card reader, on a transformative journey to becoming an Oracle.

This practical guide and memoir invites you to deepen your connection with your Oracle decks, unravelling the rich meanings behind the cards while equipping you with powerful techniques for personal and professional readings.
