After a long sabbatical from the weekly podcast, we're back with a brief episode on Kipper, a divination system created as a direct response to Lenormand. In this episode, I talk about the immediate accessibility of Kipper, being able to read with it right out of the box, and the differences between Kipper, Lenormand, and Tarot.

For a deeper dive into this divination system, please check out the replays of my livestream on the subject, listed below.

Episode 46: A week ahead tarot reading

After a planning meeting of the Cardslingers Coast to Coast podcast, I asked Jaymers and Lis about what to record on my own podcast. Here are some of their thoughts, and mine, about holiday retail burnout, rest, unfiltered opinions about the “algorithm”, and more.

Episode 44, Talk about your readings, came out in October, so it’s been two months since the last episode. https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/hilary-parry-haggerty/episodes/Episode-44-Talk-about-your-readings-e2ahvne

PS, the birth and year cards episode was Episode 27, go check it out! https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/hilary-parry-haggerty/episodes/Episode-27-Birth-cards--year-cards--and-bibliomancy-from-How-to-Read-Tarot-e1t4lg1/a-a1uh13d

Some people wonder if they are “allowed” to talk about their readings after they are complete. I don’t know about you, but I am a blabbermouth sometimes with my own information… and that’s exactly what your reading is: your information. It is for you to do whatever you wish with it. Ignore it. Do your own thing. Take it to heart… or not. Share it with your friends… or not. But that choice to share or not to share doesn’t rest with me as the reader… it rests with you, and you alone.

You don’t need a professional reader to host a party like that of your very own! (Though, ahem, I DO do party readings… and you can get on my schedule here).

If you’re lacking a reader, why not host a party like this for yourself, and you and your friends can be your own private psychics for each other? It’s an absolutely wonderful way to learn how to tap into your own intuition (and yes, before you ask, you definitely have it), and the party setting will help you relax and have a little fun with the concept. While I take my profession very seriously, that doesn’t mean I don’t have a lot of fun and what I like to call “sacred silliness” with it, too.

First of all, different people have different natural talents. This is true for intuition, too. We all don’t intuit in the same way. While one person may be very good at just “knowing” something is up in the pit of their stomachs (what is called claircognizance – clear knowing), another person may be getting specific images or a picture show going on behind their eyelids (clairvoyance – one of the most well-known [and easily described] clairs), while yet another person swears that they heard something no one else heard (clairaudience – this happens to be one of MY clairs). Often, people will have a mix of at least two clairs. Read about the many types of Clair here.

This episode is based on the article How to Host Your Own "Be a Psychic" Party. Read it here:

Is tarot the answer to everything? Life, the universe?

Short answer is no, tarot is a tool just like any other, and cannot be the be all end all.

In this episode, Hilary and Jaymi talk about their relationships with social media platforms. 

The summary is, don’t chase the algorithm: it’s a game no one seems to win.

My advice to other tarot readers who are looking to use social media to grow their business is to be yourself. Don't try to be someone you're not. Be genuine and authentic, and people will be drawn to you.

There’s no formula, at least not in my opinion. Everyone has to figure out their relationship with social media for themselves.

We also pull a tarot card each to inform our relationship with social media and it’s eye-opening (man, I love tarot!).

Stories are POWERFUL. It takes a lot to dismantle the incorrect ones, especially if you’ve been telling yourself the same ones for years.

Especially powerful are the stories that keep you from going crazy that you tell yourself when you are in survival mode. Usually, they are stories of denial, of convincing ourselves out of what we are feeling or intuiting so as not to deal with the ugly truth that sometimes rears its head. Denial is immeasurably powerful in those moments, but then so is the moment of truth that cuts through all that denial.

This episode is about a client reading that eventually cut through all the denial.

This is an episode inspired by our reluctance to record the Tower card deep-dive on the Cardslingers Coast to Coast podcast.

It’s also an article from the Tarot by Hilary blog archives. You can read it here: http://tarotbyhilary.com/dont-shoot-the-messenger/

If you'd like to watch this episode instead with a full demonstration of the tapping points, you can do so on my YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/UGXsqXo-o8U

Acknowledge your feelings before moving the energy

You can change the situation or you can change how you feel about the situation.

Tapping points:

Side of hand for setup

Crown of head

Eyebrows

Side of eye

Under eye

Under nose

Under mouth

Collarbone

Under arm

Wrist to wrist

Continue with tapping points starting with Crown of head and ending with wrist to wrist together.

In between setup and main rounds of tapping, journal about what came up for you in the setup. Use those specific words if mine are not resonating with you. The more specific you are, the more powerful and effective the tapping will be.

Drink plenty of water, and give your body what it needs after this tapping session.
