This is not a very empowering place to be in. No wonder Tarot cards make some people nervous!”

“Hermetic principle: the Law of Vibration, which states that everything, at the most basic level of subatomic existence, is in motion, or vibrating, at its own frequency. Objects that appear solid and unmoving, such as houses or rocks, simply vibrate at a much lower frequency than the human eye can observe.
