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 ed...

This is a special episode: Pardon the sound quality: This was a secret recording specifically for our students about creating and running your own tarot events. This lesson is broken down into four parts (you will want to take notes on this). There is a lot of ground to cover and every bit of it can save you real money and real headaches. You will learn the difference between events you participat...

Today we're focusing on *specifically how* to access your intuition on demand and recognize it. We have covered tapping into your intuition before, but this subject is so essential I wanted to come back at it from a fresh direction and give you a practical method you can start using right now (tonight), because a year from now you need to have this fully developed. Your intuition is a gateway of c...

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 im...

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...

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 signifi...

Today we're breaking down one of the most important shifts you can make as a reader: the difference between a $20 reading and a $100 reading! Not more cards, not more theatrics — better structure, clearer thinking, and delivering real value your client can actually use. This episode covers what separates casual, low-paid readings from professional sessions people are happy to pay for. Whether you'...

Today we're kicking off a new series called Spread of the Day — short, focused tarot lessons built around a single spread you can actually use. No fluff, no filler. Just the cards, the layout, and everything you need to walk away ready to read. This episode covers one of the most requested tarot readings out there: how does a specific person feel about you — or about a proposition you're putting o...

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 infor...

Dusty White here with Kerri for another quick tarot lesson. This time we're diving into the four twos in the Minor Arcana—and I'm talking about the pip cards, not the High Priestess. Here's the thing: most sources will tell you which element belongs to which suit. Wands are fire, cups are water, swords are air, pentacles are earth. Great. But they don't tell you what flavor of that element you're...

Dusty White here with Kerri for a quick 14-minute dive into something that's going to change how you look at the Aces in your deck. Here's the thing: all four Aces are cardinal. Every single one. And that matters more than you might think. What We're Covering: Why Cardinal Energy Changes Everything: Cardinal energy is compressed, explosive, immediate—like a match flaring up or an auto accident. It...

Short small spreads are all the rage these days. While longer, more in-depth spreads are where you build your reputation, change lives, and help serious (repeat) clients solve real-world problems, no one has time for those now! Everyone wants to give short readings, even though you get your biggest tips from expertly executed in-depth sessions that produce real results. SHORT READINGS ARE MORE FUN...

The eight of wands is easily one of the more confusing cards in the tarot. The visuals are simplistic: eight sticks are seemingly floating in air, and in the background is a small river and a house. The lack of people or determinable action gives this card something of a generic feel,, and as a result forces too many tarot readers to memorize keywords or key phrases in an attempt to make sense of...

The seven of wands shows us a young man standing on a hill that ends in a cliff, and what seem to be stick-wielding assailants are coming at him. He doesn't have anywhere to go, as he has been backed into a corner. His only choice now is to stand and fight. The 7 of Wands shows us when we are forced into a position, or forced to make a choice. We are under pressure, or we are put upon by others. T...

The Six of Wands shows us a hero returning from some kind of victory — or this is celebrating his promotion or raise in status. No matter whether this is earned or if it is stolen valor, this card shows someone riding high in life. This is what it is like to be popular, in demand, and having people cheering you on. This can be a moment in time, like when you receive your diploma at the graduation...

The 5 of Wands is a deceptively complex tarot card that deals with the intricacies of social hierarchies and how we all fit in with various groups, don't fit in with others, and what we can expect when we try to manage discordant affairs. While the base art is ridiculously simple, we can glean layers of information from this card by our understanding of sociology and comparing the positions and pl...

This card has a split focus, and it shows us three layers of activity. In the first layer we see that we are looking at a stage. The only thing real are the four sticks and the garland that is tied between the outer two of those. While the outer two sticks create a frame, the inner two create a narrow gateway that allow one or two people to pass through at a time. This makes this a checkpoint or a...

Let us help you earn $100+ an hour as a tarot reader. Tarot spreads are organizational charts, right? You know this. But WHEN should we use a large spread and when should we use a small spread? What EXACT situations are appropriate for small, medium, or large spreads? Can I give you examples? Yes. Yes I can. And in today's lesson we will do just that AND IN GREAT DETAIL — so please take notes. By...

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!...
