New Tarot Spread of the Day! This is a short, powerful tarot spread you can cast as a stand-alone in a five minute reading, but it is so much more. This eviscerates any three card (blob) spreads most people waste their time with these days. It is punchy and direct, but as a  fixed-position spread it gives you far more detailed and accurate information. The layout for this spread is here : along wi...

This tarot spread of the day is the " Quickie Problem Solving Spread " and it is AMAZING! It is a short five cards spread, so it is easy to learn and very fast, but it is not a "blob" spread. Each card position has a specific meaning that works with every other card position, so that the you cast it, you will see patterns and themes in the cards that show up in this spread—and those themes will gi...

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...

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 p...

Hi again! Micki gave us a list of questions to answer. If YOU have any questions, just send me a note at writeme@dustywhite.net 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 Christian...

With computers and AI and soooooo much on TV,  why should you bother learning the tarot?   Isn't that old-fashioned superstition anyway? It sounds hard. Watching TV is easy. Watching TikTok is even easier (and more fun!). What good does it do to spend months (or years) developing your intuition, or learning what she old pictures mean? Well, today one of my favorite students (Nicole) and I sat down...

Hey! What's it like reading professionally? Do you want to read for the public? Today, Nicole and I sat down and explained EXACTLY what you should expect when you get a job reading tarot at a shop, or when you work a booth at a faire, or when you are reading cards at a (friend's) party.  We also covered what to expect when you read at a tarot party. The problem was there was so much to tell you we...

Here's how to do it Today I pestered two of my favorite students who are reading in shops, galleries, at parties, and doing LIVE  events every week! This is no joke, and there is  no fluff! (We don't waste your time with fluff or thin content around here). So annnnyway, I like asking my students and other professionals HOW THEY DO IT and what it's like, so that you get someone else's  real-life ex...

$20 an hour (cash, paid "right now" versus at the end of the week —or month) may not sound like much, but how many people do you know who get paid $20 an hour to read cards? Most people never will. That's who this lesson is for. I was a bit ranty this episode, but please understand that I get people all the time whining that they can't afford $10 for tarot classes that will teach them to earn $60...

Today we examined the four "Two's" in the tarot, with a special appearance by the High Priestess. In this new series, we are examining cards in comparison to each other to see deeper into the meanings of each card, but also see the actual themes we find in the tarot, instead of the new Age fluff, lies, and BS people put up on websites and in cheap books to make themselves famous. This is 100% myst...

This is it! Today Dusty sat down with one of his students, moderators, and entrepreneur, Nicole Colella—and grilled her mercilessly on how she makes money doing tarot events: reading in shops and hosting her own tarot events. This all fresh, live and in real-time. Nicole has an event coming up (spoiler alert: it went smashingly well, and everyone was happy and wants to do it again). Dusty gives he...

Today we looked at the four aces in tarot decks, using the line art from Pamela Colman Smith. The coloration of the art has been done by Gretchen Short. Each ace in the tarot represents a beginning, something new, or an abundance—even just the raw material. All card meanings change due to the nature of the question and the context in which they appear. Still, there are solid guidelines ALL cards m...

Tarot Workshop series: Tarot Significators Q&A Summary: Today we examine WHAT a significator is (for professional tarot readers, it is rarely a card), how to use one (or more), when to use one, and we cover what to do when cards sly out of the deck. LOTS of extras revealed along the way. DETAILS: Q: How to tell if a card is upright or reversed when they fly out during shuffling?  A: - Some rea...

In this podcast, Dusty and Sally discuss how to give quick (5 to 15 minute) tarot readings. Typically, any decent tarot reading should take between half an hour and 90 minutes. But today, they focus on what you can do when time is limited. Most people just opt for a one, two, or three-card reading, which is poison. You might as well just stab your reputation in the face and call it a day. Three ca...

We want you to be the BEST tarot readers anywhere. This is what I have dedicated my life to, hence the free education. In this one-hour session, we have condensed an afternoon-long workshop into about 75 minutes of solid information people pay me thousands of dollars to teach them live and in person. Most of this can be found in my book Advanced Tarot Secrets (on Amazon naturally), and if you head...

Mandy, Sharon and I were having a brainstorm for podcast ideas and content for future episodes. Listening to it later, I realized how much great information we'd covered. I wanted to share it, but I didn't want to script it. So this week's podcast is the product of that meeting.  I hope you enjoy hearing how we brainstorm! I know you'll walk away from this experience with some great new knowledge!...

What is the real story behind the man known as "the Yankee Pirate?" How did he affect the Tarot as we know it today? What did he do to deserve such a bad reputation? And why is he so important to the evolution of the Tarot? We answer all these questions and more toda...

Mandy, Sharon and I tackled the question of "what do we know now that we wish we knew when we started learning to read the Tarot?"  We each share some of our stories from the past of our superstitions that impeded our skills, our mistakes we made, and what we've learned that makes us better readers. This knowledge has been achieved through years of practice and pursuing excellence. We hope it help...
