4.0 out of 5 stars Wise Gal Tarot was great!, January 24, 2001

The Wise Gal Tarot Book was great! I really enjoyed "fortune telling" with it, and I just loved the fact that you got a pack of 78 tarot cards free with it. My daughter just loved it and I got a bit of a sneak peek at it too. Overall, a great read!

My mom bought this book for me while we were on vacation one year and I will never forget it. I have only great memories from this book. I still have it even tho I'm 23 with a one year old daughter of my own. I can't wait to share all the memories with her. All in all I loved this book and still do, it has tear away tarot cards in it and tons of other ways of divination.
