Interview with a professional tarot reader
Easy Tarot Lessons!
Toda's session is not about card meanings or how to do spreads. Today I sat down with Nicole, a professional tarot reader in the tri-state aarea of New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania, and we talked about things YOU should know if you are reading for a living—or if you WANT to get paid to read cards. This is a loose form interview, with some casual humor, and I hope you enjoy this session. The point of sessions like these is to help yo bring thetarot into your daily life rather than restrict it to some "sacred space" where it gets used as often as yoru massage table or archery set. I want...

What actually happens during a tarot reading anyway?
Easy Tarot Lessons!
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 numerology into the tarot). Some things work better than others, and some things just don't work. This...

Hey! Why should YOU learn the tarot anyway?
Easy Tarot Lessons!
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 wildly successful NY/NJ tarot reader). We consider many of the ways you can use your cards "irl" to...

What happens when you read at a SHOP, PARTY, FAIRE (etc.)
Easy Tarot Lessons!
Hey! What's it like reading professionally? Do you want to read for the public? Today, Nicole and I sat down and explained EXACTLY what you should expect when you get a job reading tarot at a shop, or when you work a booth at a faire, or when you are reading cards at a (friend's) party. We also covered what to expect when you read at a tarot party. 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 for an hour! There is so much excellent advice from real, working professionals here — and...

Hey! Want to read cards at shops (and events)?
Easy Tarot Lessons!
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 you NEED an (affordable) education. Simply put, if you want to read cards at a shop or read...

How to make $20 an hour reading the tarot (RIGHT NOW)
Easy Tarot Lessons!
Would you like a life of being paid to read tarot anywhere in the world? This is the lesson for you! $20 an hour (cash, paid "right now" versus at the end of the week—or month) may not sound like much, but how many people do you know who get paid $20 an hour to read cards? Most people never will. That's who this lesson is for. I was a bit ranty this episode, but please understand that I get people all the time whining that they can't afford $10 for tarot classes that will teach them to earn $60 to $150 an hour reading tarot. If you need money right now, you need to listen to this...

Live tarot workshop series: How to do your own tarot events
Easy Tarot Lessons!
Today Dusty sat down with one of his students, moderators, and entrepreneur, Nicole Colella—and grilled her mercilessly on how she makes money doing tarot events: reading in shops and hosting her own tarot events. This all fresh, live and in real-time. Nicole has an event coming up (spoiler alert: it went smashingly well, and everyone was happy and wants to do it again). Dusty gives her center stage and just lets her share her steps, methodology, and details on how she is doing this "right now." She is only one year into this, so you can do this too. This is not a story told by someone who...

Live tarot workshop series: Card meanings: Aces — the secret to understanding the tarot
Easy Tarot Lessons!
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. Each ace in the tarot represents a beginning, something new, or an abundance—even just the raw material. All card meanings change due to the nature of the question and the context in which they appear. Still, there are solid guidelines ALL cards must adhere to. This is a mystery school lecture provided free to the public in ways that anyone can understand, absorb, and verify for themselves. We do have a mystery school academy when you are...

Live tarot workshop series: When to use a significator, what to do when cards fly out while shuffling and more!
Easy Tarot Lessons!
Tarot Workshop series: Tarot Significators Q&A Summary: Today we examine WHAT a significator is (for professional tarot readers, it is rarely a card), how to use one (or more), when to use one, and we cover what to do when cards sly out of the deck. LOTS of extras revealed along the way. DETAILS: Q: How to tell if a card is upright or reversed when they fly out during shuffling? A:- Some readers refer to these cards as "Jumpers". - Usually happens when you're hyper-focused Recommendations: 1. Discount statistics/law of probability. Just because something happens,...
info_outlineWhen it comes to learning "card meanings", all the book learning in the world can't prepare you for it. Every book out there has contradicting, completely different definitions.
Mandy, Sally and Skwirl got together to help show how to look at the image of the cards to find your answers. It is important to get to know each card in depth so that you can be prepared for anything.
We aren't presenting this as "written in stone". But we'd like you to consider how they examine each card and come to their conclusions. We hope it helps you come to your own :)
Here they explore the Empress!
