This is a super-easy, super-powerful lesson. In today's easy tarot lesson we look to see the screws hidden in The Fool card. First off, can we derive meaningful rom the NAME of this card?

But we examine every aspect of the image from an alchemist point of view, with decades of experience. Why is this card so bland? What are those squiggles on the table? And why vines and flowers?

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.

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...

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...
info_outlineSummary: 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 is why we do this series. This is why we give these lessons away for free. If the world is going to have better tarot readers, we need to train people the fine art of divination. It is work. It takes practice, and a skilled tarot reader is worth the $60 to $150 an hour that the "average professional" charges. The best readers in the world charge more than that—and are worth it—but they are hard to find as they already have exclusive clienteles and don't need to prove themselves to the rest of us.
In any case, today's session was filled with personal anecdotes on how to avoid many of the problems we see tarot readers committing over and over AND ALSO some things you should be doing that will make your readings better.
We try to keep these sessions casual and fun, because mastering the tarot is a LOT of work. Lessons can be found at easytarotlessons.com, so we want to be a bit more entertaining here. Thanks for being here!
