Summary: How to give GREAT readings — and what you need to avoid. Hi again! Micki gave us a list of questions to answer. If YOU have any questions, just send me a note at [email protected] and let me know you want us to answer them on the show. Today we stepped back to examine what happens during a reading and some of the essential parts of being a *great* tarot reader. There is far more to this than memorizing card meanings or  formulas (like the Christianized Kabbalah or forcing numerology into the tarot). Some things work better than others, and some things just don't work. This is why we do this series. This is why we give these lessons away for free. If the world is going to have better tarot readers, we need to train people the fine art of divination. It is work. It takes practice, and a skilled tarot reader is worth the $60 to $150 an hour that the "average professional" charges. The best readers in the world charge more than that—and are worth it—but they are hard to find as they already have exclusive clienteles and don't need to prove themselves to the rest of us. In any case, today's session was filled with personal anecdotes on how to avoid many of the problems we see tarot readers committing over and over AND ALSO some things you should be doing that will make your readings better.  We try to keep these sessions casual and fun, because mastering the tarot is a LOT of work. Lessons can be found at , so we want to be a bit more entertaining here. Thanks for being here!   Dusty
