Master the cards on your coffee break
I’ve just released a series of six eBooks for tarot readers. They’re actually pretty cool. I did the first as a handout for my workshop at the Wisconsin Area Tri-state Tarot Symposium. Once I had the format down, the other five followed suit pretty quickly.
Ah, WATTS. It was great! My notes and comments from the event are coming, but ever since I got back I’ve just been trying to hack my way through a list of deadline-driven projects. I can’t wait to catch up.
Are you interested in the eBooks? You’ll find all of the details here — but first, a summary.

How to Read Tarot Cards for Children and Teens. While the tarot is usually used to examine the questions and concerns of adults, at can be an equally effective tool for young people. It could even be argued that young people need a tool like the tarot even more than adults, because they typically haven’t developed the resources and coping mechanisms that maturity brings. Children’s readings do vary from the sessions that are typically conducted for adults. However, with a few simple changes in technique, it’s possible to give rich and rewarding tarot card readings to clients of any age.
How to Make Money Reading Tarot Cards at Parties. (Includes a sample “Entertainment Contract” you can use for your events!) Hundreds of years ago, tarot cards were invented as a party game.

How to Teach Tarot Classes and Workshops. (Includes a comprehensive outline for a six-week “Introduction to Tarot” class!)

You simply need to be willing to share what you know with others.

“But you could buy one of my books for $10,” I said.
“Sometimes,” she said, “I would pay money not to read a whole book.”
Now maybe the Miss Cleo decks I bought on eBay will be worth something:
