The Easiest Way to Learn the Tarot–EVER!!

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 area 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 you to get answers from your cards. I want you to help other people with your cards. And if you want to earn a living, we are doing it and we want to meet you! My job is literally to help you succeed.

So please give this a listen, and if you need any help at all, we have a school at easytarotlessons.com where you can learn and also study with other students. We have an extremely friendly tight-knit community, and we would love to welcome you to the family. Also, I have free workshops, but you know where those are.

Episode 5: What actually happens during a tarot reading?

2 Recommendations

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!

New Tarot Spread! "How does ____ feel about me?"

2 Recommendations

We are doing a new series called "Tarot Spread of the Day."
Every week we will bring you a professionally designed tarot spread curated by Dusty White and tested by real tarot professionals to ensure these spreads really work and are worth your time.
Today's spread is a powerful four-card spread that cuts right through all of the drama and mystery and tells you EXACTLY how someone feels about you (or your client obviously). This is one of the most asked questions pofessional tarot readers get. This spread rocks!
But more than that: This spread can also tell you how to sell anything to anyone, or how to get people to do WHAT YOU WANT. This is the power of professionally designed tarot spreads. It only needs four cards (and a significator you choose), and it hands you the exact information you need to know how someone feels, what they like, what is holding them back, and how to get them to do what you want. Full instructions are included in this podcast in a "follow along and do this as we tell you how—live" format.
Try this spread out. We *know* that after a few uses it will become one of your favorites.
One thing about micro-spreads like this.
These are short spreads. You can do them as quickly as five minutes, or if you really want to help your clients, they can give you up to 15 minutes of information with no fluff! This means that you can cast two or even three spreads in one reading. This enhances your value and thus fattens your paycheck, because you are giving a LOT more high-value information in short sessions.
