Self-guided Labyrinth by Kristol

The spiral labyrinth is an ancient universal symbol of transformation, and creates a sacred space where time slows and

the potential for inner growth and spiritual development manifest.  As you follow the path to the center, you are drawn

deeper into yourself, toward your own center.  When you reach the center, you will find a cauldron with tarot cards inside.

Please take one.  As you trace the path back out, emerge with clarity, gratitude, and connection to your inner self.
