How to get a new deck attuned to you
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...

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?
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...

You should be charging $100 every time you cast this spread
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...

Reversed Cards Are Your Friends!
Easy Tarot Lessons!
Dusty White here with Cathy, and we're on a mission today. Just like I'm the world's first vegetable rights activist (remember kids: (and tell your mom!) "Love your veggies! Don't eat them!"), Cathy and I are the world's first reversals rights activists. Reversed cards are your friends, and here's why. What We're Covering: Reversals Double Your Visual Cues: You're literally getting twice the information for free. Every card has a higher and lower energy, and when you use reversals, the deck just tells you which one it is. You don't have to guess. Reversals Make Readings More Efficient:...
info_outlineDusty White here with Cathy, and we're on a mission today. Just like I'm the world's first vegetable rights activist (remember kids: (and tell your mom!) "Love your veggies! Don't eat them!"), Cathy and I are the world's first reversals rights activists.
Reversed cards are your friends, and here's why.
What We're Covering:
Reversals Double Your Visual Cues: You're literally getting twice the information for free. Every card has a higher and lower energy, and when you use reversals, the deck just tells you which one it is. You don't have to guess.
Reversals Make Readings More Efficient: Here's the thing: if you're not using reversals, you have to decide for every single card whether it's representing the upright or reversed energy—higher versus lower meaning. That's an extra interpretive step you're doing in your head. With reversals, you skip that step entirely. The card does the work for you. If you're reading a Celtic Cross, that's 10 steps you don't have to take. You can spend that energy feeling into the spread instead.
Reversals Reduce Reader Bias: This is huge. I've read for tens of thousands of people, and I'll admit—sometimes I've twisted an interpretation because I emotionally didn't want something bad to happen to my client. Reversals act like a safeguard against that. It's like scientific processes that guard against subjective bias. The deck makes the upright/reversed decision for you through divine "randomization," not through your wishful thinking.
Real Example - The Magician Reversed: Cathy did a reading for a guy making a big move—new city, new job, everything. All the cards looked great. He was prepared, his mindset was clear, everything was lined up perfectly. Then the outcome card: Magician reversed. If she hadn't been using reversals, she might have read that as "You're making this happen! Everything's great!" But reversed? Something out of his control was going to derail him. Using reversals prevented wishful reinterpretation and prompted deeper investigation with clarifying cards.
Some Cards Get Better Reversed: Three of Swords? I'd much rather see that reversed. All those swords fall out—"I haven't got time for the pain." Ten of Swords? Same thing. Reversed can mean the worst is over, you're recovering, you're getting past it. The Devil, the Tower—these cards can soften when reversed, indicating you dodged a bullet or the intensity is lessening.
But Also: Some Cards Need to Be Negative: Life sucks sometimes. Most people come to us because something's wrong. We can't just have unicorns and rainbows. Cards have to reflect real life. And when a reversal flags a problem—especially in an outcome position—that's when you dig deeper with clarifying cards. That's the mark of a professional: you don't just do three cards and call it done. You investigate.
Practice Exercise: Pull the Four of Wands. Upright: celebration, connection, community, house party. Reversed: disrupted connections, cancelled celebrations, feeling separated. Pull the Ten of Wands. Upright: burden, grind culture, hustle mindset. Reversed: dropping the load, rejecting that whole "sacrifice everything for work" mentality.
Creative Interpretation: Here's a cheat sheet: if you come up with a meaning that makes perfect sense and nobody's done it before, look through your deck and ask, "Does some other card already answer that question?" If not, you're onto something. The Ten of Swords giving the benediction gesture? That could be forgiveness. Reversed? "I want him dead, I want his family dead"—no forgiveness whatsoever.
The point is to allow outside associations to connect with your cards. Look at a card and say, "This makes me think of . . . " and just have fun with it.
Using reversals isn't about cutting corners—it's about letting the universe make decisions instead of you. It's about getting clearer, richer, more honest readings. Worth the time to learn.
