Easy Tarot Lessons!

I know we have talked about this before, but most of you missed it, and I wanted to address this from a new angle: what to actually do when a new deck shows up in your life. Gift, impulse buy, online order, it fell out of the sky . . . it doesn't matter how it got to you. Every new deck comes out of the box stiff, slippery, and completely indifferent to you. Too many decks today also have sharp edges that cut into your fingers after an entire day of shuffling and giving readings. New decks have zero connection to your energy.  Your job is to fix that. You need to get your psychic essence...

Today we're focusing on *specifically how* to access your intuition on demand and recognize it.

How to Get Hired as a Tarot Reader at Shops (and Actually Get Clients!) show art How to Get Hired as a Tarot Reader at Shops (and Actually Get Clients!)

Easy Tarot Lessons!

Most tarot readers think the hard part is getting hired.   It’s not. The hard part is sitting there for two hours with your cards laid out watching people walk by and nobody asks you for a reading. Not only is that embarrassing *and* boring, but how can you possibly make any money that way?   In today's session Dusty and Maggie break down what actually gets you hired at a metaphysical shop—and more importantly, what gets people to sit down, trust you, and pay you.   Because this isn’t about luck. It’s not about being “gifted.” And it’s definitely not about...

Hey! Do you want to make a *LOT* of money reading cards? show art Hey! Do you want to make a *LOT* of money reading cards?

Easy Tarot Lessons!

Use this spread! Everyone falls in love. And everyone gets their heart broken. One of the most common questions you will be asked over and over is how your client can get the love they want. How can they find someone (they want) to worship them? How can they get in a relationship they want to be in?   This is what people pay for — in matchmaking services, dating apps, an endless amounts of money on makeup, fashion, fancy cards, and tons of money going to clubs. How much money do people waste on drinks at clubs trying to get people to date them?  Today's spread is called "How do I...

Easy Tarot Lessons!

Hi! Today's tarot spread is a binary choice spread that gives you simple, clean, clear, ACCURATE answers instantly, but also goes deep into the "how's, and why's" of each option so that you can give your client really DETAILED and highly specific answers when they want to know whether they should "do this, or that." This spread is super-easy, but it won't do the work for you. You get three significators to help you absolutely focus on the person you are reading about "in the context of the dilemma they are facing," and even their preferred outcome. Then we cast a short spread, and then we...

The 2 of Wands comes up in your tarot spread. What does it mean? How do you know how to read this card? What do you tell your client if this card comes up in the past, present, or future? What if the 2 of Wands is an outcome? What kind of circumstance, environment, or attitude does the 2 of Wands represent? All of these answers and more are explained in today's mystery school tarot lesson by Dusty White.

Looking at the card, we have a wealthy merchant standing atop his castle walls. He has purposefully taken steps to get away from his family and friends, his associates, and any servants or other distractions that may cloud his judgment.

The globe is a metaphor for where is mind is at. His eyes are not on the lands around him, which represent his community and potentially his estate. His eyes are on the horizon — but once again, look closely and he is not looking at the mountains or anything familiar. He is looking out at the empty sea and comparing his view to a giant map of everything that is.  

This image is showing us someone whose awareness is far from the moment. This is the antithesis of the 8 of Coins, where a laborer happily focuses only on what is in front of him right here and right now. In that card, even the coins he just struck are a distant memory — even as they are within reach. That man only focuses on what is in front of him and what he is doing.

The weakness of this card is being too detached from one’s current environment. While this person is a visionary or an idea man — someone with great vision and intellectual capacity, this Sagittarian global perspective runs the risk of not seeing the trees right in front of him because his mind is on the forest at large. 

This is a great card for big picture perspectives but it is horrible for paying attention to the here and now, and what needs to be done to pay the rent or feed your family tonight. This card only works when you have the time and resources to survive while you go on a mental vacation to put everything into perspective.
