TAROT card reading for beginners will be staged at the Holistic Centre in Belgrave Square, Darwen.

The classes, which take place on four days over a four month period, aim to help relax the mind so readers can form an attachment to the cards and start to find significance in them.

Centre manager Vanda Croft said: "It's something that everyone can do and it's just about being relaxed enough to have the ability to do it.

"During the sessions we use dancing and psychometry, where beginners hold an object and try to feel what its last owners were feeling.

"It's all about getting in touch with your intuition and finding your own meaning in things."

The first session will be held from 10am to 5pm on Saturday, January 25.

The centre has received a significant number of enquiries so far and people wanting to join the course should book their place on 01254 774460 before Tuesday, January 21.
