Susan Diamond
Susan's earliest memories, starting at around age four, involve her grandmother teaching her how to do divination with a button on a string. On her 7th birthday her mother gave her her first tarot deck. Divination and Magic are Susan's passions and she has dedicated her life to magical and healing practices. Along the way, Susan earned a degree in Psychology with an emphasis on Biology, helping to facilitate her natural counseling, psychic, and healing abilities.
In a response to a desire to bring earth based spirituality & magic back to its roots, Susan started a professional business in the field and has had a magical arts shop for over 15 years.
