Easy Tarot Lessons!

With thousands of tarot decks competing for your money, how do you know which one will actually work for you? Also, which one is merely gorgeous, expensive, and completely useless in a real reading? There is no magic inside a deck of cards. The magic is in you. Your cards are a visual language, and every image should act like a prompt that makes ideas, details, warnings, and useful advice come pouring out of your mouth without conscious effort. When the artwork doesn't speak to you, you are reading from a dictionary with no words. In today's fun-filled episode, we examine why the Waite-Smith images became the foundation of modern tarot, how changing the color, expression, perspective, background, or symbolism of a card can quietly change its meaning, and why some breathtaking "art decks" are almost impossible to read professionally. Pretty pictures are wonderful, but your clients are not paying you to own a pretty deck. They are paying you for accurate, detailed, actionable information. We also give you a practical test you can perform with two different decks from your own collection. Pull the same cards from both, interpret the actual images, and find out whether the advice flows naturally—or whether you are secretly ignoring the artwork and reciting meanings you memorized from another deck. Please DON'T waste thousands of dollars chasing a mythical perfect deck. Learn how to recognize artwork that genuinely expands your readings, gives you more to say, and helps you do better work. Your cards are tools. You still have to do the work, but the better your tools, the more intricate your work. Come see us at www.EasyTarotLessons.com. Your first month costs you ONE dollar, and we will help you become the reader your clients hope they are paying for. Now go be awesome.

How do you give $300 readings instead of $20 ones? You have to know how to phrase the questions you ask "God" (your angels, spirit guides, the gods, the universe —however you want to address the divine). Imagine for a moment you had a telephone directly to the most intelligent minds in creation, omniscient and helpful: why would you say something as stupid as "just tell me anything," or "win the lottery for me so I don't have to think or take responsibility for anything." You should be asking how to solve crimes, cure diseases, and get better relationships (for yourself and others). You should be asking highly specific and detailed questions that lead you TO an answer, not hand you a simple finished product that leaves you guessing how to implement it. Let me give you an example: if you com to me and say "How can I get rich?" I can tell you "save more than you spend, then invest that money, and always buy low and sell high." In this case I have done my job, but done you a disservice — right? So let me give you a better way of doing things: we manage the "small talk" we have with our clients WHILE WE SARE SHUFFLING (remember "rule #1 . . .) so that it sounds like small talk but is really framing the inquiry while we are deciding exactly which spread will give us the MOST, pertinent information so that WE CAN come up with an answer. This is how readers who charge $400+ an hour do this. So let us teach you the basics of that today, for free. Keep in mind that we have an entire academy for you! Courses, study groups, support networks, friendships with real tarot experts, and even personalized mentorship from one of the best tarot teachers in the world — all for ONE DOLLAR (for your first month — and then it is a miserly ten dollars a week to learn how to make $100+ an hour. You *do* want to make money reading cards, right? Here's the problem. Clients sit down and say "just tell me anything." That's like walking into your mechanic's shop and saying "my car's not doing anything, you figure it out." Your mechanic charges $150 an hour to diagnose that. You should be thinking the same way — minimum wage in this job is $60 an hour, and the pros are pulling $1,200. In this episode we cover how to interrogate your client (politely — it just sounds like small talk), how to pick your question word (what, how, who, when...) and match it to a spread you actually know cold, why yes/no questions are a great way to make clients wonder why they paid you, the four magic words that take control of any wandering reading, and the one sentence you say before you deal that saves you from 20 minutes of reading about the wrong thing. Then at the end: summation and marching orders. That's how you get tips, repeat clients, and referrals — free raises, no rate hike required. Want study groups, forums, and live help from me?

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 into those cards by working them in properly, because a deck you have truly made your own will always give you better information than one you just pulled out of a box and started using. This doesn't mean that you can't give great readings with someone else's deck(s), but new decks are like new Doc Martens. They are a p.i.t.a. until you break them in, so in this short session you will learn how to physically condition a new deck so it actually cooperates when you shuffle. We will cover things like how to psychically clear a used deck you picked up from someone else and how to develop a real relationship with decks that use unfamiliar art so the images start communicating with you. We also give you an easy technique for seeing the essential image allegorical meanings without ever relying on keywords. We even go on about how to read a deck's color palette and it's themes so you understand what that deck is trying to tell you. Also of course we have a fun storytelling exercise that works with any deck. Okay, so listen up and give yourself a few days to work your new deck through all of these techniques and exercises. You will find your new deck much more pliable and friendly in your hands. For much deeper training, come see us at easytarotlessons.com. We will help you become genuinely great at this, and yes, we will show you how to make serious money doing it. Thanks for being here! Now go be awesome!

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 participate in and events you organize yourself, and why knowing which one you are actually ready for matters. We examine your options as a participant: private tarot parties and psychic fairs, pop-up vendor events, and becoming a house reader at a local business. Then we get into the good stuff! This is a solid lecture on how to build your own event from scratch without burning through your budget before your first client ever walks through the door. That means finding the right host business, curating your vendors so everyone walks away happy, building a marketing machine that draws on the combined reach of every person at your event, and knowing your numbers before you commit to a single thing. We also cover how to price your time, how to turn every attendee into a referral source, and how to debrief after your first event so that everything that follows runs even smoother. After you listen, start your market research before you spend a dollar. Visit local events as a guest, talk to vendors, and watch what draws a crowd. Find one business in your area that already attracts the kind of people who would love what you do, and start a conversation. If you want the full course on how to get a lot of paying clients, come to our free Saturday workshops and ask Dusty, or sign up at easytarotlessons.com since it is already part of our tarot course. Once you are certified you can access our $5,000 course on landing lots of paying clients WITHOUT having to pay the five thousand dollar fee! Okay, thanks for being here!

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 course, not some mystical gift that a lucky few are born with and the rest of us aren't. It is a real, teachable function of your subconscious mind, and in this free lesson I'm walking you through one of the step-by-step methods we have spent decades teaching. You'll learn how to settle your awareness into the exact state where intuition flows naturally, how to set a clear target so your subconscious has something to actually work toward, and how to move into a receptive, proactively searching state that opens you up to real impressions. I'll walk you through a quick 60-second reset technique that keeps you focused, how to work with The Fool card from your tarot deck as a training tool. After you develop even a basic skill any card will work, but after you listen, pull out your Fool card, carve out a few quiet minutes, and try this out. Do it again tomorrow. In fact, do this on a regular basis. It helps if you have a pen within reach to capture everything your impressions. Want to go further? Come find us at our free Saturday workshops!
