Interview with a professional tarot reader

April 04, 2024 13:13 - 1 hour - 61.2 MB

Toda's session is not about card meanings or how to do spreads.

March 07, 2024 14:44 - 38 minutes - 35 MB

Summary: How to give GREAT readings — and what you need to avoid. Hi again! Micki gave us a list of questions to answer. If YOU have any questions, just send me a note at [email protected] and let me know you want us to answer them on the show. Today we stepped back to examine what happens during a reading and some of the essential parts of being a *great* tarot reader. There is far more to this than memorizing card meanings or  formulas (like the Christianized Kabbalah or forcing numero...

Hey! Why should YOU learn the tarot anyway?

March 03, 2024 17:55 - 1 hour - 58.9 MB

With computers and AI and soooooo much on TV, seriously—why should you bother learning the tarot?  Isn't that old-fashioned superstition anyway? It sounds hard. Watching TV is easy. Watching TikTok is even easier (and more fun!). What good does it do to spend months (or years) developing your intuition, or learning what she old pictures mean? Well, today one of my favorite students (Nicole) and I sat down and talked. I did this interview style, where I really grilled her (since she is a wil...

What happens when you read at a SHOP, PARTYY, FAIRE (etc.)

The problem was there was so much to tell you we probably didn't get to all of it. This podcast was only supposed to be 20 minutes, but it went f...

Hey! Want to read cards at shops (and events)?

November 27, 2023 20:57 - 1 hour - 58.8 MB

Here's how to do it Today I pestered two of my favorite students who are reading in shops, galleries, at parties, and doing LIVE  events every week! This is no joke, and there is no fluff! (We don't waste your time with fluff or thin content around here). So annnnyway, I like asking my students and other professionals HOW THEY DO IT and what it's like, so that you get someone else's real-life experience other than mine sometimes. After all, this is just social proof that this works, and why...

April 14, 2023 12:03 - 45 minutes - 41.9 MB

Today we looked at the four aces in tarot decks, using the line art from Pamela Colman Smith. The coloration of the art has been done by Gretchen Short.

How to give quick (5 to 15 minute) tarot readings

March 09, 2022 00:13 - 41 minutes - 19.2 MB

In this podcast, Dusty and Sally discuss how to give quick (5 to 15 minute) tarot readings. Normally, any decent tarot reading should take between half an hour and 90 minutes. But today, they focus on what you can do when time is limited. Most people just opt for a one, two, or three card reading; and that is poison.
