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 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 towards clear decision-making Exactly how James works with his clients to 'co-create' the reading and deliver specific insight and actionable advice Why you want the client to do most of the talking during a Tarot reading – and no, it's not about being a lazy Tarot reader! How Tarot brings people back to their 'wholeness' in a profound and impactful way Plus, so much more! Let's dive in… Resources James Wells' website Book: Choice-Centred Tarot by Gail Fairfield (James mentions this book in the interview. He recommended it to me, too, and it was a total game-changer in the way I connected with the Tarot.) Join the conversation here: http://www.biddytarot.com/30

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 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

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. Not everyone shares the same values or the same passions as we do. And when it comes to Tarot, it can be hard to find people in your existing circles who have the same love for Tarot as you do.
In this podcast, you'll learn:
Why finding your Tarot tribe is incredibly important to your evolution as a Tarot reader

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 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
