At Facade.com, you can type a question, choose from 20 decks, choose from 11 tarot spreads and receive an instant assessment, all without entering any personal information!

Card reading mystic Veenu Sandal told the Times of India, “My magical experiences have been intense. Through the years, I’ve traveled to places, met people who had the power to create magic. It was a magical moment when I was in Hardwar and saw a man who could sit on a leaf. Magic is used to expedite something. You may be gripped with a problem, but the next day it disappears — that’s magic. People use chants, mantras to create magical spells. However, magic is transitory, the spell doesn’t last forever.” According to Sandal, it’s all mind over matter and utilizing the power of the mind to overcome everyday strife. That, in a nutshell, is the source of our fascination with tarot card readings. We sometimes just need that little extra push, that little extra confidence to help us achieve our dreams.
