This is another private study group where we turned on the microphones to let you see what we teach in our mystery school and how. This is a tiny sampling of how we prepare our students to read professionally in real-world environments. This is not your run-of-the-mill set of tarot lessons from some random website. This is for people who want to escape the traps of rote memorization and simplistic readings by forcing artificial systems onto the tarot.

 

Leave that to the chumps. If you are reading this you should be listening to all of our free lessons, and I would advise trying out our private school where you can master the tarot far beyond the training you can (or will) get anywhere else. Let us know what you need and we will do our best to provide it here. Thanks for listening. Never give up.

This is a "how to do it" example lesson from the EasyTarotLessons.com course taught by the author of The Easiest Way to Learn the Tarot—EVER!! If you have the book and need help, this lesson is for you. Thanks for being here :-)

Becky and I sat down for 25 minutes and I went into the directions and the tarot, a quickie primer on the elements in the tarot, and warned of the fallacies of arbitrarily assigning artificial systems to your understanding of the tarot.

 

WARNING: Explicit language. This is a no-holds barred lesson.

Barbie has never read my books; not in a library, not in a store, and she has never bought one. But she did watch the free videos lessons I put up on YouTube and Vimeo, and listened to all of the free podcasts (audio lessons).

She has been able to make progress and in this lesson she and I get some one on one time to help her pass other readers in her growing abilities. Mark the date of this. You will be seeing Barbie again. She is going to become a truly great reader, and more. She just needed a little help getting up to full speed.

 

Don't let her pass you. Keep studying, keep listening, keep practicing. Let me know how I can help you more than I already do.

I sat Becky down and grilled her on what she has learned over the last ten years, and what she wished she had known "back then" to save herself a decade of mistakes.

This is real advice from someone who has your best interests at heart. We know how to read, and we know what to do wrong, and exactly how to do it, because we have made the mistakes you will, before you get a chance to make them. Too many readers (and you probably have met some of them) make the very mistakes we talk about in this episode. Please take notes, learn from this, and let us help you become a MUCH better reader in a very short amount of time. New tarot course is coming in a few weeks. This will be the only chance to learn from e directly and to personally interact with me. You can ask me anything and I will do my best to help. Free podcasts will always be provided whether you take any courses I offer. Thanks for being here. Post any questions you have. :-)

This episode is the second in a series I am doing while the new super-tarot site is being built. I am sitting down with a few private students and helping good readers become great readers. Today, Becky and I sat down and talked about the Roundabout spread, and how it can save you time and sanity when dealing with clients. This is material from The Easiest Way to Learn the Tarot—EVER!!, but it is something most readers never learn. This will help you get more clarity and accuracy from your spread, and help you satisfy your clients far more than anyone else. I must apologize for the mic I am using. I hate it (in hindsight).

That being said, we did cover some specific instances in which a Roundabout spread is a great alternative to the Celtic Cross when you want highly specific answers, and not just a general overview of what is going on. When you need to dig for answers, there is no better spread—and none more reliable—for finding out REAL answers than the Celtic Cross. It can be case as a future event, past event, you can dig up all kinds of dirt on what is going on somewhere far away. It is great for assistant your remote viewing and establishing a basecamp of information before proceeding further by refining your questions and using various specialty spreads. That is nice, but the weaknesses of the CC are that it is not much of a predictor on future events except for the ability to establish what HAS happened and IS going on to form a basis of what can be expected to play out. 

This is where the RA spread comes in. As a replacement for the CC, it can show you what specific steps need to be taken to achieve a specific result, and it can be cast as a contingency spread, verifying options ahead of time to allow you to choose the best possible path forward. This is what we cover in today’s lesson. As always, thanks for being here, and let me know what YOU need help with. Comment, and if you feel like giving us a review (good or bad) I would appreciate that very much.

Hey guys, this episode is the first in a series I am doing while the new super-tarot site is being built. I am sitting down with a few private students and helping good readers become great readers. Today, Tanisia and I sat down and covered various parts of the reading that help you get more clarity and accuracy from your spreads. All of the material in today's lesson comes from my book Advanced Tarot Secrets.

Tanisia is a seasoned reader, root worker, and adept of metaphysics. We had a chance to cover specific techniques that make the difference between a good reading and a great one. Specifically, I highly recommend the four-pass reading technique, which includes patterns, blends, aspecting cards, hidden spreads, spread verification, card weight (how much of an influence one card is in a reading versus other cards; based on position, influence, support from other factors, and the client's situation), asking specific questions, and clarifying everything for your client during the wrap up phase. We didn't have time to cover every detail of this in today's call, but it is ALL covered in-depth in Advanced Tarot Secrets, available on Amazon, barnesandnoble.com, and the book depository (if you live outside of the continental US they ship free: http://www.bookdepository.com 

Be sure to take notes. Thanks for being here. We are here to help. Let me know what YOU need to master the cards in your hands.

What the the best kept secret of the REAL professionals? I am talking about the people who charge $100-$300 an hour, and morenot people who slave away on a "psychic hotline" for 25 cents a minute, even though the boss is charging $3-$5 a minute (like I have in the past). Business cards. But how do you make a business card that actually WORKS? We learn that today. Leave a comment. Let me know what YOU want to learn more of. Thanks for being here :-) Dusty

Part one of a three-part series: How to make real money reading the tarot. What you can expect out in the real world. Ish and I sat down and I talked about psychic hotlines, working privately, owning a shop, working at a shop, psychic fairs, and Craigslist. This is just the first part of a series--there simply is too much to go over in one podcast. Today we covered what to expect, how to get these jobs, and how much you can expect to make. Please leave a comment if you want more of this level of information. Thanks for listening :-)

How to fine tune your tarot manifestations to get EXACTLY what you want. Powerful spells, manifestation that actually works, effective prayer: call if what you like, your ability to get "God" (angels, spirit guides, Loa, faerie friends . . .) to help you get what you want is critical to being more than a mundane human who plods through life by the sweat of their brow. Ish sat in on today's lesson on how to fine tune your tarot manifestations, to help you get EXACTLY what you want, not a "kinda/sorta" achievement of your goals.

Today's lesson is NOT on how to manifest (that would take a LOT longer than 30 minutes, and I have already covered a lot of ground in my free podcasts and webinars). Today's lesson is on a few key points that you need to know if you expect to actually get results in a short period of time. This is just scratching the surface of what I teach, so it goes by quick. Please take notes and leave a comment if you want more free lessons. Thanks for being here :-)

Hey gang, I sat down with my private student, Ish, and we went over the process of predicting elections. Since we had so little time, we did not go into everything you need to know, but gave a lot of basic info. She did two example spreads and nailed them. (We will see if she is right soon!) There is a TON of stuff I need to teach you on this, but these techniques can be used in hundreds of high-paying cases and you can earn a fat living if you apply yourself and can build your accuracy to a decent level.

This was a taste of what you can do. Take notes, and we will have more later! Thanks for being here! :-)

Hey gang, Today, one of my private students (Ish) joined me on the podcast for an hour as I explained how to verify the accuracy of every spread you cast. This has so many values that you should never EVER cast a spread without verifying the accuracy of it before you put your reputation on the line.

This information is taughtin depthin Advanced Tarot Secretsso you want to get a copy of that, but I went over the basic information today (for free). Take notes! Thanks for being here.

Debbita is back! Debbi Matz and my absolute favoritest of favorites Deb Altman joined me today for a surprise bonus lesson, where we sat down and talked about divination and manifestation. We had fun and I hope that you do as well. A lot was covered and we shared real-life examples of how we did it and how it turned out. Great motivational lesson today. You CAN do this.

Short podcast today. Very light material. A technical glitch ruined the first part so we had to start over. Beth Tippie and Becky sat in and we discussed a few items essential to making manifestation work. Important enough to put up, not thorough enough to call one of the best episodes. Thanks for being here.

I had Becky on again, and we spoke for almost 90 minutes about the exact specifics you need to do to manifest practically anything you desire. Much more sedate and serene this time. We had a lot of fun covering techniques that actually work, and Becky gave a LOT of input on her real-life recent experiences. This is a "must-listen" episode and can help you take control of your life.

We mentioned The Easiest Way to Learn the TarotEVER!!, Advanced Tarot Secrets, and Aphrodite's Book of Secrets many times, but don't let you think that we are just trying to sell you something. We are here to help. We are here for you. "We show you how." Thanks for being here! :-)

Holy crap I was on fire today! Rant, rant, rant! Nate sat in on today's lesson on manifestation. We covered two extremely important mental techniques that are the key difference between "wishing" and "getting." I ranted, I swore, I almost jumped up and down. This information is too valuable to ignore. I need you to listen to this episode at least twice (you will understand why after you have heard the entirety of it). We covered how to envision your goal so that your subconscious mind actually does everything that seminar gurus say that it will. This information comes from decades of research and decades of experience and success. If you were looking for a shortcut to making your magic or prayers work for you this is it. You need to understand the basics of how your mind works so that you can use your thoughts and emotions effectively, to get what you want when you want it. Ask me if you have ANY questions. Thanks for being here :-)

Today we talked about the business of making money with the tarot.

This brought up the commonplace emails we all get, where someone who claims to be a psychic sends you out an email stating that they were "guided" to inform you of some huge change coming up in your life that only they could inform you of, and that it would only be $150. 

Then, when you ignore that email, you get anothera few weeks laterstating that she was "authorized" (from above obviously) to cut her fee in half, but only because it was so urgent that you get this message. We (you) have to rise above this level of nonsense. Scams, lies, and abusing our (your) clients is not only illegal and bad karma, it is bad for business, and it will keep you from ever getting higher paying clients--people who respect your abilities and input, and seek out the information you have.

Becky sat in today, and we yapped about when to start charging money for readings, and how to introduce our clients to the idea of paying us for our time, how much to charge, and what the going rates are. Please take notes. Thanks for being here.

This is what you learn in tarot school (our tarot school). Super-advanced stuff, intelligently applied to real-life situations. I sat down with Nate and laid out specifically how to use your tarot cards for so much more than simple divination. All of this and more is in my second book "on the tarot: Advanced Tarot Secrets." This particular information is found in the back of that book.

We cover, step-by-step, how to brainstorm with the tarot, solve problems, and achieve anything you want in life. Full details are in Advanced Tarot Secrets, but this episode should get you started manifesting your dreams by understanding what paths and options are available to you. The tarot is useful for so much more than you will ever read about in books. Spend an hour with us (this lesson) and take a LOT of notes. It will change your life. Thanks for being here.

**Double episode** Hey gang, Becky and I sat down and talked about the cards that are obviously staged: cards where it looks like the people are acting on a stage in front of a backdrop. Pamela Colman Smith was a set painter in theater (among other things) before being commissioned by Art Waite to print him a deck of cards.

 

We discussed why these came about and what it all means in the greater scheme of things. A lot of tarot history is lost, and the work done by Pam is no exception. In this episode we fill you in on what is known and what is speculative, and in the second half of the podcast we cover the most important skill any reader can have learning the tarot. Thanks for being here :-)

Becky and I sat down and talked about reversals, and how to understand them quickly and easily. I gave several examples in the second part of the show to help you get them as they show up in real life. We pulled techniques from Advanced Tarot Secrets, such as spread protagonists, and Card in Position. Super-easy to understand, and extremely helpful. Just 33 minutes this time.

Super important lesson today. Becky and I sat down and I ranted (I used an expletivetwice!) about the need for training. This is something you must hear, and look around you at the readers you see on TV, on the internet, and who have shops. Look to see who is giving highly detailed, ACCURATE advice. I want you to be that person. Many, many, many readers do not. Then we built a scene using Harry Potter (fan fiction) as an example. THAT was super educational and fun. Thanks for being here. Take your education seriously. If you do not you will never make the big dollarsand I want you to make a LOT of money, and friends with the Tarot. :-)

Becky, Cindy, and I sat down and had a quickie lesson on how and when to open up a card, use clarification cards, and what expansion cards are (and when to use them). Too many readers make the mistake of trying to clarify a card before they verify its accuracy in the first place. Along the way we found a small problem and fixed it live on the air (miscommunications in reading over the phone).  Short but good lesson. Let me know if you have ANY questions. Thanks for being here!

I had fun and it seemed that we all had a good time exploring the Tarot through interactive games.

Free lesson series continues:  I paid for Cindy's tuition today. We sat down and played a new tarot game at her request. She was having trouble opening up cards and wanted to play "What does this card mean?" from Advanced Tarot Secrets.

I also answered Allen's question on why some cards are staged and others are more organic. No one knows with absolute certainty the answer to this, but I gave the answer I have found to ring most true after years of researchand I gave references to verify this and to conduct further study.

We also played a few rounds of "The never-ending story," a game I learned years ago. We used to play this game at the Eye of the Cat. All in all a quick lesson on how to improve your skills at reading the cards like a pro. Let me know if you have ANY questions.

Wow! A triple episode! Becky and I sat down and helped three students learn pre-spreadwork.  Pre-spreadwork is the most important part of any reading you do. It is the bread and butter of professional psychics, and it is the difference between vague, general readings that could apply to anyone, and spot-on, accurate, highly detailed and precise readings. In this episode we cover—step-by-step—exactly what to do and how to do it. And then we cover it again, and again, and one last time. This is some of the best-kept secrets of the super-professionals, so we made sure that we spelled it out explicitly.  This is what you learn in private study with me. No fluff—only techniques which produce results. Thanks for being here.

Hey everybody!  I sat down with Paul and Cathy today as part of my "free tarot lessons to anyone!" series. Both Paul and Cathy had EXCELLENT questions about court cards showing up in a spread. I also explained the concept of the pecking order in every spread you cast--just in case you haven't heard that one before. We covered a bit on kings and queens, but I think the real value of this lesson is what we covered on pages and knights. If you have ANY questions on this just post a comment. Thanks for being here!

We didn't cover everything (I still need to cover working in a shop), but we covered what every reader needs to know if they are going to survive in business.

I have been there. I have been in business since I was a kid. I share the 40+ years of experience I have had to help you avoid mistakes and get yourself as far as you can. None of this is legal, financial, or medical advice, so do not construe it as such, and always seek competent professional advice before doing anything. Above all, use common sense. Thanks for being here.

Yes, you read that right. Becky and I sat down and talked about . . . cats. I got saddled with a tiny fuzzball of electricity; a 12-week old kitten who still has no name. It was an early birthday present and Becky talked me through some early stage advice. Then we talked for about 45 minutes on manifestation, how to do it, what works, what NOT to do . . . All in all an extremely informative lesson, and some stuff about cats. Please leave your comments below.

Cathy, one of my private students, was kind enough to let me record a mini-lesson to use as a podcast. We covered how to ask the right questions, how to elicit the information you need from your clients so that you can ask the best questions, and how to figure out exactly what question you should be asking in the first place to give world-class readings. We also covered the strengths of various spreads and what questions work best with different spreads. Thanks for listening! Please take notes!

Amanda agreed to sit down and have a private lesson recorded. We covered quite a few things (the 30 minute podcast ran 1 hour and 15 minutes!) but essentially we addresses how to overcome the doubt monster: what happens when your yappy voice (conscious awareness) tries to convince you that you can't read, or it tries to take over the job of your intuition, or it overanalyzes the cards and demands information instantly. These happen to ALL of us. There is no regulated system of training tarot readers to battle the cynicism of the logical mind in its attempts to prove that this is all real (or not). 

This is why I created the exercises and the games in the books (you know which ones by now) and I take Amanda by the hand in this episode and help her overcome this problemANDI help her to understand the process, so that she never has to fear it again, and she can help other as well. Of course I do all of this on three hours of sleep after pulling an all-nighter working on the new astrology book. So, in other words, I ramble a bit and go off on tangents.  A fun ride all around. 

Please let me know if you have ANY questions. Thanks for listening

I had Becky on again, as she is being trained to teach. We talked about significators in great detail: what they are, how and WHY (and when) to use them. We talked about HOW to choose a significator and the differences between single, double, and multiple significators, and three different ways of using them. Take notes. This is a quick but deep study into how the pros get the results we do.

Then we went over a concept I teach to all of my private students, but not the public (until now), called the spread protagonist (or prtagonista! depending on the time of day I am explaining it). This is revolutionary and not used nearly enough. I want everyone in the world to start using spread protagonists and as a result give far more accurate readings. Match that up with multiple significators and you are beginning to read like a master.  Questions? Please comment below.

Becky and Anna were kind enough to sit down and play 30-some minutes of "Who Am I?" This is one of 6 new games from the new book, Advanced Tarot Secrets. The audio starts out a little rough for the first 20 seconds but smoothes out after that.

TAKE NOTES!! We jump right into the game to show you how it is done, and offer tips throughout the podcast. Try to see if you can keep up. It helps if you have done Exercise 11 from The Easiest Way to Learn the Tarot - Ever!! but if you have a sharp memory and the ability to picture cards in your head this will be really easy. Either way, give it a listen and see have fun!

Thanks for being here

Kelly (one of my private students) sat down with me to do a mini lesson (just 30 minutes—private lessons are 90 minutes of longer) on the arrangement that I could record it and give it away for free to everyone. Her concerns were focus and what the stupid cards mean anyway. These problems plague many readers, so I agreed and we helped her along the way.

If you have a copy of The Easiest Way to Learn the Tarot—Ever!! or Advanced Tarot Secrets you will be able to follow along easily as I give her the tools to overcome her troubles learning the Tarot—quickly and easily. This is a sample of what it is like to learn the Tarot directly from me - and it is free. I hope you enjoy it. Please comment or email me with any questions.

Hey everybody! Tidal Miller, known to the public as "Tarot Tidal" is one of my students who came to me early on in their tarot studies and has gone on to become a Tarot professional. He reads for clients regularly, has his own radio show, and frequently appears at other people's venues as well.

I sat down with him and we talked about mistakes too many Tarot readers make, what to do to make a LOT of money, and how to be a better reader. All of this is free--nothing to sell (other than his referencing my books--he seems to like them a lot) and my admonition to get a Tarot mentor.  This is a conversation between friends but you will learn a LOT and if you apply it you will become a much better reader. It is not the mysterious and mystical that makes us better at our jobs, it is the mundane, easy-to-overlook tasks and accomplishments that turn us into absolute masters of our art.

This show ran 60 minutes. I wanted to make sure that in between all of the banter there was real value for you to listen to, all of the way to the end. In the last few minutes we give six tips on how to be a better reader. Don't miss these. Find Tidal at: On Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Tidal.Miller?fref=ts Alchemical Artisans: http://www.blogtalkradio.com/tidalmiller YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jhARvPV-iQs Thanks for being here.

Diane, Becky, Stacia sat in for a lesson on focus, and how it is essential to readings that get results, manifestation that gets TANGIBLE results, and how to actually use it in your tarot readings. We went over this in a few ways, with several analogies to help you really get it.

Thanks for being here. This week we start a new format with the podcast--same show, but now we have made it even better by focusing exclusively on the topic of the week and teaching you in the audio lesson (podcast) and written lessons (blog) and the Easy Tarot Lessons by email (free newsletter). If you have NOT subscribed to the FREE LESSONS please do here: http://www.easytarotlessons.com. we need is your name and email. Once a week you will get free professional tarot lessons that you don't get anywhere else, including the podcast. Please leave us your comments below.

Hi everyone. Thanks for listening :-)  Becky (private student) was kind enough to sit in today, again, and we talked about the importance of questions in a reading and how to ask them to get the most accurate and precise results. As you know by now, I am adamant on giving quality information to your clients: friends, family, strangers who pay . . .

I ranted a bit about how to set up the spread--how to find out what the client wants to know and how to rephrase their question if necessary so that you can give them the RIGHT information, not some useless fluff. Too many people get bad readings from untrained "professionals" and it gives all of us a bad name. This is why I give you free instruction. I need all off us to do better and give better results. This helps make your life ever so much easier. I hope you will listen to tonight's episode and follow, step-by-step, the process of getting the best possible answers for your clients. Let me know if you have ANY questions of course.

Becky, Kelly, and I sat down and yapped for half an hour about how to blend cards. This covers exercises 8 and 9 from The Easiest way to Learn the TarotEVER!! and the first new exercise from Advanced Tarot Secrets.  We had a few unexpected moments where both Becky and Kelly showed me some real spine and illustrated how being a reader is more than just flipping cards.

This was a truly great lesson and I hope you get a chance to listen to it at least twice. I want to have these two on more, as they are smart, fun, funny, and easy to listen to. Please comment with any questions. Thanks for listening.

Bah! It seems that everyone and their dog reads cards these days. Phone hotlines, readings by video cam, chat, email. Technology is not to blame, it is a lack of proper training. The bad news is that there are TONS of untrained readers out there making YOU look bad because they make the industry look bad.

The GOOD news is that this creates an opportunity for you to make $10, $20, $40, $50, even $100 an hour sitting on your butt, telling people your opinion. In fact, the very best readers in the world charge over $1,000 an hour— and they get it. In fact, some of them are booked solid for months. 

How can you do this? Well, that's what I rant about in this episode. I skipped last week so this was a double episode. Becky and Diane sat in as I talked about what too many readers do wrong, and the simple things you can do "right now" to stand out. This is free. You do not have to spend any money. Just do what it says in this podcast in addition to what you are already doing. Oh, and I mentioned my new book Advanced Tarot Secrets a few times. It comes out on August 7th. I am also teaching a master course on the tarot. 4 weeks of beginning stuff and 4 weeks of the super-secret advanced techniques the (real) professional use. 

Thanks for listening. Post your comments, please. :-)

Becka is one of my private students who has been on her own for a bit and we sat down and just yapped about what she has learned and how she is doing with the tarot. This is an exclusive look at a real student who started as a beginner a few months ago and has made amazing progress. Becka is proof that YOU CAN DO THIS!

Highly enjoyable, I honestly think you will get a lot from this episode, especially if you are new to the tarot. Thanks for listening.

Stacia is back with me for a while. Well I rant and Stacia gets a word in every once in a while. Patterns in spreads enhance the level of information in a reading but do not overpower the individual card meanings. We examine the various ways you will find cards interacting in noticeable patterns and what they mean. Rant about Kickstarter that can be skipped over.

Oh my god! We had Robert M. Place on (again) and we dished up dirt on "Aleister ("Ed") Crowley, his narcissism, his genius, and his flat-out lies (pretty much everywhere).

We dug into the sordid past of Pamela Coleman-Smith and how she ended up with the Golden Dawn. All in fun mind you--we love our wayward heroes and heroines. This episode ran waaaay long. Robert has a wealth of tarot information and I want to know if you want more of the secret history of the tarot, and more dirt on Ed (Al) Crowley. Let me know what you liked and want more of. Thanks for being here! :-)

Hey gang. No guest or side-kick today. I sat down by myself and talked for just over half an hour about how the art of YOUR deck changes the meaning of the cards you are reading. A bit about tarot fundamentalism, which is a real problem and one that needs to be eradicated once and for all. The tarot is cool enough to stand on its own without needless dogma and regimentation that only ends up limiting your ability to give masterful readings.

So, 37 minutes of yapping about art with real life examples from various decks and how the tiny changes in art affect the balance of the deck and its ability to give you answers--it may not be you--it may be a poorly designed deck! Pretty decks do not necessarily make for better "working" decks. Thanks for being here. I hope to see you again soon. As always, let me know if you have ANY problems reading the tarot: dusty@easytarotlessons.com

I just sat down and went over some pages of notes. This is something that has been bothering me for some time. I see (alleged) tarot readers go online and ask strangers what THEIR readings mean. This is abysmal. It makes all of us look like amateurs.

The cards speak to YOU--not to some random stranger, but between the bad tarot books and people to cheap to hire a teacher or too lazy to actually study the tarot (yeah yeah I know: no one has time anymore, we live in an instant gratification worlddon't be so old-fashioned) this has to end. Now.

I hate being a curmudgeon, but being able to actually foretell the future is a skill, not a parlor trick. It is the lazy and the stingy (too cheap to buy a book or hire a teacher) who make us all look like superstitious idiots.

Pardon the rantthis episode is about how to avoid making yourself look dumb. It is a lesson that needed to be taught. Seriously, thanks for being here.

Stacia and I sit down and answer the age-old question, "How can I be more confident when I am giving a reading to a stranger." This is a very relaxed conversation where we cover the mistakes too many readers make and the various antidotes. It is short and to the point but it really works. Please have a listen. If you have any questions just email me. Thanks for being here :-)

Julie in Australia asked about reading the tarot for yourself, so I sat down with Diana, one of my mentees and we talked about it. This is a casual lesson. LOTS of info, but nothing to buy--no sales pitches, no infomercials. We cover some very important fundamentals you need to master before you can accurately predict your own future.

Asking questions about yourself has the problem of coloring the impressions you get. This can distort the meaning of the reading and provide you with useless information. So we teach you how to get past all of that, in 30 minutes. It's not that complicated but it does require actual practice of certain exercises designed to detach you from bad habits we all build up over the process of "life." A lot of it is knowing what questions to ask--and how to ask them. You really are your own best client, as you know the situation you are asking about intimately.

But to get clear, concise, ACCURATE answers you need to know how to do all of this properly. After you learn this PLEASE share this with a friend. We are here to help--and it is always free. We need your help in getting the word out. We need to rid the world of BAD tarot teaching. Get ALL of our free tarot lessons at http://easytarotlessons.com Thanks for being here :-)

Wow! Robert M Place! Author of several books on the tarot; creator of several decks, including the Alchemy Deck and the Vampire Tarot. This is a no-holds-barred look at where the tarot came from, how cards get their meanings changed, who the scoundrels and godfathers of the tarot are, and so much more.

I held Robert captive for an hour and grilled him about everything RELEVANT ("things you actually want to know"and how they affect *you*) about tarot history. Robert is an artist, a scholar, and a treasure of information. You really don't want to miss this.

Kristin is a guest again :-) We had fun just creating an imaginary client and giving them a reading. This is an extremely valuable lesson on the roundabout spread and how to help your clients (or yourself) figure out "how-to" accomplish something--step by step, in minute details. I hope you enjoy it. Take notes if you don't have the book.

Kristin (one of my apprentices) and I sit down for a friendly chat of two-card pairings.

We bind two cards together to create various meanings (two cards--one meaning). We wanted to avoid highly personal issues that would be of little interest to anyone so as usual we picked on celebrities and news events. Not to worry, no real celebrities were injured (or insulted) in the process. Later did a quick run-through of the suit of Cups in a "family album style" where we looked at the images as if they were just strange pictures from a family photo book. We tried to figure out what the people were doing in each image.

These two exercises allow you to explore the tarot in real life without having to resort to long-disproven metaphysical hokum that has been ADDED TO the tarot over the years. The tarot is mysterious enough without us having to invent things to add to it to make ourselves feel special. The true master can understand the tarot like a fish understands the ocean, and tie card meanings and card blendings to real events in her life or for the people she reads for. Some people will not like this seemingly casual approach and will insist that old superstitions must be held to.

Oh boo hoo. All I care about is that you get the nonsense out of your head and let the cards talk to you. The tarot is nothing more than an alphabet the gods speak to you through. It is also such a good psychic muscle workout that over time you will depend less and less on the cards and become proficient at hearing the voices of the gods (metaphoricallynot "voices in your head"). Eventually the cards will be little more than a focusing tool and verification of what you divine. This is how we get thereand it is still free. But it is up to you to learn.

Thanks for being here :-)

In this episode Jean and I go on for an hour and 17 minutes; mostly about reversals with a bit of graveyard trivia and a few minor rants. These suits are a bit depressing and I am dead-tired so the podcast seems to drag on. For that I apologize but it is full of information.

Reversals again? Grr . . .

Reversals really cause people problems, so this week we are tackling them again with fresh insights on how they might appear. This is part one of a two-part podcast (the second part will be recorded tomorrow).

We cover what each card of the four suits of the "minor" Arcana could mean, but not the court cards as we have covered them and will cover them again, but in a different light. This is a short, 48 minute podcast that really digs into the problem. If you have your copy of The Easiest Way to Learn the TarotEver!! you can even write in the back of the book (where we have provided a workbook section for each card). This will help you retain what you learn in this podcast.

This is a live call I had with a few of my apprentices. It is raw and unedited, and you get to see how we interact when we are studying the intricacies of the tarot. At some points it is a bit ranty, as I have no tolerance for BS and lies that people spread about the tarot (mostly to make themselves look cool, mysterious, knowledgeable, or powerful). You can learn a LOT from this episode. I am posting it as episode four as I simply do not have the time to do a separate podcast this week. This is my birthday gift to you. I hope you enjoy it.
