The Biddy Tarot Podcast: Tarot | Intuition | Empowerment

When we start to learn to read Tarot, we often fall into the trap of thinking we need to memorise and rote learn the Tarot. But, what happens is that our readings end up becoming generic, robotic, and plain boring. Instead, it's essential that you learn how to personalise the Tarot card meanings to truly make your Tarot readings pop. That is, you learn how to intuitively connect with the Tarot and you uncover deeply insightful and accurate messages in your Tarot readings. In today's podcast, I'm going to show you 4 ways to personalise the Tarot card meanings. We're going to get creative and have a little fun along the way!

A common perception among many first-time Tarot reading clients – and even readers – is that the Tarot reader will do most of the talking, telling them what the cards mean and what to expect in the future. But, as we'll learn today, it doesn't always have to be this way. In fact, as Tarot readers, we can 'co-create' a Tarot reading with our clients. What is co-creation exactly? It's about bringing the client into the Tarot reading process and facilitating a two-way conversation about what the reading means for them. Now, there is one professional Tarot reader and teacher who does this to perfection – James Wells. He's a Toronto-based tarot consultant who uses one-to-one consultations and group experiences to help people remember their innate creativity, wisdom, resourcefulness, wholeness, and personal power. In this podcast interview, you'll learn: How, at just 12 years old, a book about ESP started James' life-long journey with Tarot The powerful questions James asks the Tarot on a daily basis, to guide him

Tarot – it's where individual and collective wisdom meet. Individually, we connect with our intuition and subconscious mind to interpret the cards. And collectively, we connect with a group consciousness that has evolved over many years and lifetimes, and we tap into our combined knowledge of the cards. Together, this individual and collective wisdom creates a powerful connection to the Tarot, enabling us to commune with the Divine in beautiful ways. In this podcast, you'll learn: What individual and collective wisdom really means for Tarot Why both are important in enriching your connection with the cards and the Divine How we can integrate individual and collective wisdom into our Tarot readings What's really going on when you see something totally different in the Tarot cards compared to your favourite book Let's get into it!   Join in the conversation here: http://biddytarot.com/29

It's the question we all face as Tarot readers – when, if ever, do I come out of the Tarot closet? For some folks, it's a no-brainer. They love reading the Tarot, and their friends and family are completely supportive and even appreciative of their talents. But for others, it's not quite as easy. Perhaps their profession prevents them from openly practicing Tarot or their community perceives the Tarot as evil, and so they remain hidden in the shadows. In this podcast, I talk about coming out of the Tarot closet – when to do it, how to do it, and what you need to consider as you're doing it. I also share my personal story about how I eventually came out of the closet – and it wasn't as easy as you might think.   Join the conversation here: www.biddytarot.com/25

When I first started to read Tarot, I was just a fresh-faced 18 year old. By my early 20s, I was ready to start reading for other people but there was just one problem.
