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: 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. Thanks for being here. We'll be back with more soon. Books mentioned in this podcast: The Easiest Way to Learn the Tarot—EVER!! The Easiest Way to Learn Astrology—EVER!!

The 5 of Wands comes up in your tarot spread. What does it mean? How do you know how to read this card? What do you tel your client if this card comes up in the past, present, or future? What if the 5 of Wands is an outcome? What kind of circumstance, environment, or attitude does the 5 of Wands represent? All of these answers and more are explained in today's mystery school tarot lesson by Dusty White. The visuals on this card are so minimalistic that we have to really dig for meaning. But in the process, we can't simply make things up. Whatever we say about this card, it has to match what is in the image. So we have a bunch of boys in a tight group, and they seem to be friendly to each other, but we have to examine the group as a whole, as well as the posture and attitude of each one, if we are to understand the various meanings of this card in a reading. I want to start with the central figure. He is wearing red in the Rider version of this card. He is also the only one wearing a hat. Notice how he is the only one of the five who is completely in his own world. Everyone else is looking at someone else, or someone else's stick. This one individual is confident, self-composed, and examining his stick like someone would examine the cards life has dealt them. Notice his stance. He is balanced and upright. His body language reinforces the notion of his self-assurance and stability. He hols is stick with both hands, but away from him as he examines it. If this boy represented your client in a reading, it would sho that they are an island of sanity and calm in the middle of chaos. Tarot card keywords for study: activity, enthusiasm, disorder, chaos, clown show, youth, youth sports, comparison, uncertainty, seeking acceptance, peer pressure, mob mentality, small groups, discordance, loud noises, inclusion.

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.

I sat down with a group of students and covered exercise 2 and exercise 10. 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 :-) Dusty

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.

Becky and I sat down and started to go through The Easiest Way to Learn the Tarot—EVER!! Episode one was unlistenable, so we are starting with episode two. You will want to have your copy handy for easy reference. This FREE series will help you learn the tarot fast.

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 more—not 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 :-)

The 3 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 3 of Wands is an outcome? What kind of circumstance, environment, or attitude does the 3 of Wands represent? All of these answers and more are explained in today's mystery school tarot lesson by Dusty White. The main thing we are looking at in this image is a relatively simple image of a man on a hill or cliff overlooking ships sailing off into the sunset. This man is not impoverished, but then again, in the tarot almost no one is visibly destitute. He doesn't look wealthy and he doesn't look poor, so this does not help us understand whether he is the foreman or someone who woke up late for work while everyone else is already on their boats. There is a huge clue that the sea is golden and the sky is yellow. This gives us time of day and the direction he is facing, and therefor it limits the number of places in the world this can occur — if we need this card to tell us where a thing will happen. But don't read too much into that unless and until you are specifically asking for that level and type of information. Tarot card Keywords for study: oceans, bays, sunsets, west facing beaches, ships, voyages, watching, missing the boat, progress, momentum, early stages, management, overseer or foreman.

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 taught—in depth—in Advanced Tarot Secrets—so 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. Thanks for being here.

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 Tarot—EVER!!, 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 another—a few weeks later—stating 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 :-)

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. Tarot card Keywords for study: critical thinking, thinker, analysis, planning, observation, intellectual, entrepreneur, visionary, vantage point, perspective, view from the top, executive, C-suite, CEO, CIO, COO, bay, coast, mountains, elevation, ambition, morning, Sagittarius, Jupiter, expansion

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. Thanks for being here :-)

Super important lesson today. Becky and I sat down and I ranted (I used an expletive—twice!) 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 dollars—and 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 was interviewed by Mary Nale for Attune Magazine. We sat down for an hour and I taught some Tarot games. I had fun and it seemed that we all had a good time exploring the Tarot through interactive games. All of this can be found in Advanced Tarot Secrets, but here it is, free; well an overview of a few of the games in the book, with live examples of us playing them. Take notes! Thanks for being here.

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 research—and 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.

In today's podcast Cathy, Paul, and Cindy showed up, and then Sarah, a new student, popped in and wanted to learn, so we ended up with a mini-group lesson. Just a few questions (I was surprised that there were not more questions) and then we had some time so we a game from Advanced Tarot Secrets. This was a 4-person mini-group lesson you get to sit in on. Thanks for being here :-)

Becky and I were joined (about 18 minutes in) by Cindy. We played some Friends and Enemies after talking about the Roundabout spread. This continues my series of free lessons. Let me know if YOU need personal help. Thanks for being here!

Continuing my series of 100% free personalized lessons, I sat down today with Cathy and helped her with aspecting cards and then we covered a bit on verification cards in any fixed position spread. I hope you find this information helpful. Let me know if you have any questions. Just post a comment. 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!

Becky sat down with me and let me rant on how to stop wishing and start getting. This is the "anti-seminar guru" episode. Warning: It does have expletives, but only when they are necessary to get you to wake up and take charge of your life, and stop doing things that do not work.

Renee, one of my private students, sat down with me and let me rant for 42 minutes on how to get your own psychic business going, and how not to. 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.

Becky and I sat down and I ranted for 45 minutes on exactly what you need to do to make your goals come to life in 2014. Seriously powerful lessons here today. I had a meeting with a committee right before the podcast, so I was a bit on edge (sorry). Listen to this episode twice (or more). There is a LOT of valuable information that will change your life here--and it is all free. Thanks for being here.

BETH TIPPIE!! and I sat down for an hour and a half (eek!) talking about manifestation. We covered all kinds of subtle techniques and methods that are MANDATORY if you want your manifestations to actually work. This is all geared to a killer 2014 for you. This will be the first of three episodes where we cover how to have a great 2014. It is up to you to make your life great, but we are here to help. TAKE NOTES. This life is not a dress rehearsal. Thanks for being here Let me know if you need help.

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.

Debbi (longtime student of mine) and I sat down and had a casual chat—this is a bit different from the usual format. I wanted to see what Debbi had been up to with the tarot over the past few months. We talked about a few topics of interest and I gave a few new mini lessons, but this episode is mostly information on how to give BETTER readings, not new instructional advice on how to learn the tarot. Thanks for being here. Ask me any questions you have. Please take notes. There is a lot of good information in this episode, but it is a bit subtle.

I sat down with Becky and addressed problems a few students are having. We started on court card (specifically pages) and ended up covering other important parts of a reading. You will just have to tune in to find out. :-)

Becky is back and she just gave 4 readings at a Tarot party—and she NAILED THEM. I ask her how, and what worked, and we cover pre-spreadwork and post-spreadwork, how she dealt with a problem client and still wow'ed her. You will learn how to give expert-level readings and see how Becky had her breakthrough moments (and got tips too!) This is a must-listen episode. Ask questions. We are here to help.

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! Post any questions or thoughts in comments below please.

Tarot spreads are organizational charts. They really do make reading cards *so much easier* but no one really explains that. It is just assumed in books that you use spreads or you do not. And this is part of the reason why so many people get 9or give) crappy tarot readings — and as a result the general public has no belief that we can help them. I know — I have been reading cards for fifty years! I also have been teaching PROFESSIONAL TAROT READERS since 1992. This is just what I do. So, which spread sSHOULD you use and why? What are the strengths and weaknesses of each type spread _ and why shouldn't you just grab a book of ten thousand tarot spreads and choose whichever one feels right at the moment and see what happens? There are just so many things wrong with that scenario, but the shortest possible version is that you don't just grab a random tool you have never used and start trying to fix something when you are not familiar with that tool. At least that is not what the professionals do. So this is a FREE LESSON FROM THE MYSTERY SCHOOL that introduces you to the why's when's and how's of choosing the right tarot spread for the reading (for the job at hand). What you learn in this session is how professional tarot readers earn $100 and more an hour. Please take notes. This is my job: to teach you how to be a BETTER TAROT READER THAN ANYONE ELSE. if you have any questions just show up to our free tarot workshops every Saturday on Zoom: https://us06web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZUpcO2qqT4qG9yJmYcYVR2wVP7534ACcE_z And check out our academy at easytarotlessons.com — we are here for YOU.

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 problem—AND—I 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.

Hey gang, So Tidal Miller (Tarot Tidal) had me on his show "Pagan propensities," for an hour. I got to share some information along the way. I hope you like it. Let me know what YOU think (comment below please).
