Every day of every week, I get asked for my advice, knowledge and opinion about Tarot. From how to learn the Tarot card meanings, to reading for friends and family, all the way to how to start a successful Tarot business. You name it!

BTP39: Tarot by Numbers with Kari Samuels

One of the fastest ways to learn Tarot is to understand basic numerology. When you know what the numbers 1 to 10 signify, you can start to de-code the 40 numbered Minor Arcana cards and you gain deeper insights into the Major Arcana cards. So in this podcast, I invited intuitive counsellor and numerology expert, Kari Samuels, to talk about how to master the Tarot by numbers.

Ever wanted to create your own Tarot deck? In this podcast, I speak with Gabi Angus-West about how she created the edgy, tattoo-inspired Bonefire Tarot.

BTP30: Co-Creating a Tarot Reading

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 re...

BTP29: Tapping into the Individual and Collective Wisdom of Tarot

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 individua...

BTP26: Finding Your Tarot Tribe

We are all looking for our tribe. A place where we belong. Where we feel a soul connection with others. Where we are heard, supported and nurtured. But often, finding your tribe can be difficult.

BTP25: Coming Out of the Tarot Closet

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 ...

BTP21: How to Succeed as a Young Tarot Reader with Fiona Benjamin

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.
