How to break in a new deck (and why)
Apr 2700:16:00Tap to summarizeHere’s a problem we all face: What to actually do when you get a new deck. Whether it is a gift or you grabbed it off a shelf because you had to have it, or you ordered it online, all new decks are stiff and slippery, and refuse to cooperate. They have that “new car smell” factory stink on them. You have to get your psychic stank on them to mark them as your own. You have to imbue your cards with your psychic essence by working them in and working YOUR energy into them as a whole. Otherwise you are using a generic deck — and while you CAN do that, you will always get the best information from a deck you have made your own. We have addressed this before, but too many people missed this, and I wanted to give you a fresh take on this, so in this super-short session you will learn how to physically break in a new deck so it actually shuffles the way you need it to, how to cleanse a used deck you picked up from someone else, and how to build a working relationship with unfamiliar art (a new type of deck or art you have not read with before) so the card images start talking to you instead of just sitting there looking like pretty pictures. So we have for you a simple but powerful technique for cementing card meanings *without memorizing keywords*, and also how to read the color palette and themes of your new deck so you understand what each image is trying to tell you. Also, a quick storytelling exercise that gets you comfortable with ANY deck fast.After you listen to this, sit down with your new deck and run through the exercises we give you. Don’t rush any of this. Also, you want to do this several times, and not all in one sitting. Even a little time with these techniques spread out over a few days will do more for your reading than hours of reading some guidebook. Real readers who build real fluency with their cards put in this kind of deliberate practice early on (this means you!).Okay, thanks for being here. For much deeper tarot training, come visit us at easytarotlessons.com and let us help you become truly great. Also, we can (and do) show you several ways to make a LOT of money as a high paid tarot reader.=)
Transcribe →Inside information: How to make a LOT of money at events
Apr 2200:44:30Tap to summarizeSpecial episode: This was surreptitiously recorded for students ready to do their own events or working with others. This is not a full course on how to get lots of paying clients. This is a primer, but it will reveal what really works and how to avoid losing money when you do (or host your own) events.Today we are talking about one of the most exciting moves you can make as a working tarot reader: creating and running your own tarot events. We have broken this down into four parts, so grab a pen and get ready to take notes, because there is a lot of ground to cover and every bit of it can save you serious money and headaches.You will learn the difference between events you participate in and events you organize yourself, and why knowing which one you are actually ready for matters to your career (and your reputation!). We walk through your options as a participant, from private tarot parties and psychic fairs to pop-up vendor events and becoming a house reader at a local business, and then we get into the good stuff: how to build your own event from scratch without blowing your budget before your first client walks through the door. This means finding the right host business, curating your vendors so that EVERYONE benefits, building a marketing machine that uses the collective reach of every person at your event, and knowing your numbers before you commit to anything.We also cover how to price your time, how to turn every single attendee into a referral source, and how to debrief after your first event so that your future events are even better.After you listen to this, start doing your market research before you spend a single dollar. Visit local events as a guest, talk to vendors, and pay attention to what draws a crowd. Find one business in your area that already attracts the kind of people who would love what you do, and start a conversation.If you want the full course on how to get a LOT of paying clients, come to any of our free Saturday workshops and ask Dusty where to get it — or just sign up at easytarotlessons.com as it is a part of our tarot course. Once you are certified (you won’t embarrass us), you can get our $5,000 course on how to get LOTS of paying clients without having to pay the $5,000.Okay, thanks for being here! Now go be awesome!
Transcribe →Exactly how to tap into your intuition
Apr 2000:29:34Tap to summarizeToday we're diving deep into one of the most powerful skills you will ever develop: tapping into your intuition and actually knowing when it's talking to you. We have discussed your intuition before, but these skills are so important I wanted to come at this from a fresh approach and give you steps to take right now, because a year from now time won't forgive you for not improving yourself.Your intuition is a gateway not a bubble or some ethereal "thing" that some people have and others don't. It is a real, trainable function of your subconscious mind and in today's free lesson I'm handing you one of the step-by-step methods we have spent decades refining. You're going to relax your awareness into the exact state where your intuition flows freely, how to lock onto a target question so your subconscious has something to work with, and how to shift into what I am calling (just for convenience) your "extended ears" so that you put your brain into a genuinely receptive, searching state. I'll show you a 60-second technique that keeps you on track, how to use The Fool card from your tarot deck as a live training tool right now in real time, and how to capture and follow the breadcrumbs your intuition leaves so you can start seeing real results in your daily life.You can use any card for this, but after you listen, grab your Fool card, find a quiet few minutes, and run through the process. Then do it again tomorrow. Keep a pen and paper close by and write down everything that surfaces, even the stuff that seems random. This is a quickie workshop, it's completely free, and it is exactly the kind of lesson that we give you at easytarotlessons.com. Time keeps moving whether you grow or not, so listen to this at least once, take notes, and let's make you more psychic. If you need MORE help, come to our free Saturday workshops — and when you get serious about being psychic, come take our affordable lessons at easytarotlessons.com.

Apr 200:20:02Tap to summarizeUse this spread! Everyone falls in love. And everyone gets their heart broken. One of the most common questions you will be asked over and over is how your client can get the love they want. How can they find someone (they want) to worship them? How can they get in a relationship they want to be in?This is what people pay for — in matchmaking services, dating apps, an endless amounts of money on makeup, fashion, fancy cards, and tons of money going to clubs. How much money do people waste on drinks at clubs trying to get people to date them? Today's spread is called "How do I meet someone I like?"If you learn this five-card spread (today’s spread is called “How do I meet someone I like”) and really master it, you can specialize in getting people dates, getting them business partners, getting them new friends, and helping business owners get MORE PAYING CUSTOMERS — all of the real questions people want answers to — you can make a fortune!So come listen to how this spread works.

Transcribe →How to Get Hired as a Tarot Reader at Shops (and Actually Get Clients)
Apr 200:18:38Tap to summarizeMost tarot readers think the hard part is getting hired.It’s not. The hard part is sitting there for two hours with your cards laid out watching people walk by and nobody asks you for a reading. Not only is that embarrassing *and* boring, but how can you possibly make any money that way?In today's session Dusty and Maggie break down what actually gets you hired at a metaphysical shop—and more importantly, what gets people to sit down, trust you, and pay you.Because this isn’t about luck. It’s not about being “gifted.” And it’s definitely not about undercharging until someone takes a chance on you. This is about understanding the real job.🔑 What you’ll learn in this episode: Why you’re not applying for a job (and what shop owners actually care about) How to position yourself as a partner who brings in customers The #1 mistake that makes readers invisible (and how to fix it instantly) How to create demand instead of waiting for it Why your setup is silently selling for you (or quietly driving people away) The truth about pricing—and why cheaper does NOT mean more clients How to structure short readings that feel valuable and lead to longer sessions The “souvenir reading” strategy that turns strangers into repeat clients What makes a shop worth working with — and when to walk away Most people think reading at shops is about what happens at the table; but it’s not. It’s about everything that happens before someone ever sits down. It's about how you approach the shop to begin with, and whether that shop is a good fit for you. It's about the way you present yourself to the owner, so they see you as a value add-on instead of another mouth to feed. Shop owners have their own bills to pay and endless paperwork, contracts, and taxes. They have to guess what people will actually pay for, and how to get them into the shop to pay for things at all. I know from personal experience that running a shop is not as glamorous as working at one.So we need to get you spiffed up so you can look like a real professional who will bring value and customers in to their shop to spend money on books and supplies. If you understand that — truly get that — and apply even a few of the ideas we are covering today, you won’t be the reader sitting in the corner hoping someone notices you. You will be a valuable addition to any retail environment. You’ll be the one people walk across the room to find.Keep in mind that this is a 20 minute crash course on getting yourself into shape to read at a store. The most important steps are there, but we have an entire academy at easytarotlessons.com where we do more than teach you how to read cards like a seasoned professional. We teach you how to get LOTS of paying clients. But today's lesson is about getting you out the door and knocking on doors (of places you want to start reading at this week).You’re not just a tarot reader. You’re an experience that brings energy, attention, and revenue into the room. And when you start presenting yourself like it, well everything changes. If you really want to learn how to be a tarot ninja, check out our textbook: Advanced Tarot Secrets and our community at easytarotlessons.com. These free lessons are just the beginning, but if you want to learn how to make $20 an hour right now reading cards, we have a lesson on that as well. It's just down the list, and it is free as well. You should check that out now.
Transcribe →You can charge $100 every time you cast this spread (high end decision-making spread)
Mar 2800:20:05Tap to summarizeHi! Today's tarot spread is a binary choice spread that gives you simple, clean, clear, ACCURATE answers instantly, but also goes deep into the "how's, and why's" of each option so that you can give your client really DETAILED and highly specific answers when they want to know whether they should "do this, or that." This spread is super-easy, but it won't do the work for you. You get three significators to help you absolutely focus on the person you are reading about "in the context of the dilemma they are facing," and even their preferred outcome. Then we cast a short spread, and then we flesh out each option. This is the secret method we use in the mystery school, and experts use for their very best executive clients who demand specificity and accuracy — but they also want depth and validation that these answers are based in reality. Grab your cards and learn this spread. This is not a spread for casual readers or beginners. This simple spread goes deep into the cause and effect of ANY situation, and you should be charging at least $100 every time you cast it, even though it is not a large spread; but it's okay if you want to charge less so that people can afford your services. But if you do, you are giving them a real bargain price.So come listen to how this spread works. Also, go to https://www.advancedtarotsecrets.com and click on Handouts to get the PDF of this spread free! But we explain it all to you in today’s free lesson — and also — we give you inside secrets only in this lesson hon how to really get the most from this spread.
Transcribe →How to Make $100 an Hour Reading Tarot — NOT $20
Mar 2400:40:02Tap to summarizeToday we’re digging into one of the most important upgrades you can make as a tarot reader: what actually separates a $20 reading from a $100 session. It’s not about being more psychic or more dramatic — it’s about structure, clarity, and giving your client something they can actually use.In this episode, we break down what higher-value readings look like in practice. Whether you’re reading casually or starting to work with paying clients, these ideas apply right away. We focus on using the right spreads for the question, asking focused questions while you shuffle, and turning your readings into clear, practical guidance instead of vague impressions. We also cover how to think about card positions as part of the answer, how to guide the flow of a session so it stays focused, and how to deliver insight your client can walk away and act on. This is what turns a reading from “interesting” into something genuinely valuable—and worth paying for.Grab your cards, pay attention, and let’s level this up.
Transcribe →Episode 6: Spread of the Day: "How Does _____ Feel About Me?"
Mar 2100:24:48Tap to summarizeToday we're kicking off a new series called Spread of the Day — short, focused tarot lessons built around a single spread you can actually use. No fluff, no filler. Just the cards, the layout, and everything you need to walk away ready to read.This episode covers one of the most requested tarot readings out there: how does a specific person feel about you — or about a proposition you're putting on the table? Whether you're asking about a romantic interest, a raise, or a business deal, this four-card spread delivers the kind of specific, actionable insight that separates a good reader from a great one.We walk through the full layout, how to use two significators to sharpen your focus in a small spread, and what each card position is actually telling you — what they like, what they want, what's holding them back, and the direct advice that ties it all together. This is the kind of tarot reading you can do in five minutes or stretch into a full client session, and it's versatile enough to keep in your core rotation for years.Grab your cards, download the free PDF handout at AdvancedTarotSecrets.com, and let's get into it.

Episode 5: Astrological Properties of the Threes in the Tarot
Jan 3000:27:48Tap to summarizeIn today's episode, we take a practical look at the four “Three” cards in the tarot: Wands, Pentacles, Swords, and Cups, and we explore what they reveal when viewed through an astrological lens.As tarot cards are visual in nature, we look at what’s actually happening in each image, from posture to movement, color, weather, setting, and so on. From there, we connect each Three to its elemental nature (fire, earth, air, or water) and its quality (cardinal, fixed, or mutable) so you can feel why these cards illustrate what they do.This isn’t about doing complicated calculations or turning tarot into homework. It’s about learning to see what’s already there in the cards, and letting that understanding quietly sharpen your readings.If you’ve ever felt that some cards speak more clearly than others, or wondered why similar-looking numbers behave so differently across the suits, this episode will give you a helpful way to organize what you’re already sensing—without forcing anything.Grab your deck, pull out the Threes, and read along with us.

Episode 4: Reversed Cards Are Your Friends!
Jan 2800:32:09Tap to summarizeDusty White here with Cathy, and we're on a mission today. Just like I'm the world's first vegetable rights activist (remember kids: (and tell your mom!) "Love your veggies! Don't eat them!"), Cathy and I are the world's first reversalsrights activists.Reversed cards are your friends, and here's why.What We're Covering:Reversals Double Your Visual Cues: You're literally getting twice the information for free. Every card has a higher and lower energy, and when you use reversals, the deck just tells you which one it is. You don't have to guess.Reversals Make Readings More Efficient: Here's the thing: if you're not using reversals, you have to decide for every single card whether it's representing the upright or reversed energy—higher versus lower meaning. That's an extra interpretive step you're doing in your head. With reversals, you skip that step entirely. The card does the work for you. If you're reading a Celtic Cross, that's 10 steps you don't have to take. You can spend that energy feeling into the spread instead.Reversals Reduce Reader Bias: This is huge. I've read for tens of thousands of people, and I'll admit—sometimes I've twisted an interpretation because I emotionally didn't want something bad to happen to my client. Reversals act like a safeguard against that. It's like scientific processes that guard against subjective bias. The deck makes the upright/reversed decision for you through divine "randomization," not through your wishful thinking.Some Cards Get Better Reversed: Three of Swords? I'd much rather see that reversed. All those swords fall out—"I haven't got time for the pain." Ten of Swords? Same thing. Reversed can mean the worst is over, you're recovering, you're getting past it. The Devil, the Tower—these cards can soften when reversed, indicating you dodged a bullet or the intensity is lessening.But Also: Some Cards Need to Be Negative: Life sucks sometimes. Most people come to us because something's wrong. We can't just have unicorns and rainbows. Cards have to reflect real life. And when a reversal flags a problem—especially in an outcome position—that's when you dig deeper with clarifying cards. That's the mark of a professional: you don't just do three cards and call it done. You investigate.Thanks for being here. We'll be back with more soon.Books mentioned in this podcast:The Easiest Way to Learn the Tarot—EVER!!The Easiest Way to Learn Astrology—EVER!!Advanced Tarot SecretsWebsite:AcademyofDivination.com
