Nan Harvey

I have a Bachelor’s in General Studies in Social & Behavioral Science.  My day job is as a database analyst.  I’m an avid genealogist and have a life long interest in astrology and Tarot.  My current goal is a more serious study of Tarot.
That should do it.  Actually I’ve struggled all my life with the question “what do you want to be when you grow up”.  I started at Purdue in the Fall of 70 as a math major with emphasis in computer science (they did not have a computer science degree at that point).  After a few episodes of dropping my pile of punched cards I decided to switch directions so second semester found me being an Anthropology major with a Philosophy minor.  I stayed with that for a few years, then quit and worked for a while, then went back as an Business & Accounting major.  Left without a degree.  Worked as a computer operator & then as a programmer – mostly RPG on an AS/400.  Finally decided about 8 years ago that to get any further I needed at least a bachelor’s, and since my son was pretty much out on his own by then I had the time to pursue it.  So I found a job here at Indiana University and took advantage of the tuition break & the general studies program which acknowledges ancient credits.   I finished up back in Social/Behavioral Sciences (with a minor in Sociology that I just happened into because of my interest in certain classes offered here).  And once I had my degree in hand the department I was working for knew to keep me they were going to have to create a professional level position for me, which they did, and I’ve stuck with them.

    Hi Leisa!

    Listened to the show this morning and since it is such a large, involved spread, I thought I might use the ‘Minute Tarot’ to try to simplify and see if I can keep the reading under 4 hours(!) :) since I didn’t have much time.

    It was great fun organising the cards, counting them to see the ratios (I had a lot of Majors!), and then just taking the key words to combine them for a basic, quick, and enjoyable read – a great way to ‘ease’ into a large number card spread. Plus – since the cards are smaller, it didn’t take up the entire kitchen table! :)

    This spread is great visually with the columns and I did think there was some relevance in terms of timing as some combinations closer to the base appeared to have already happened. Plus reading them vertically really worked well in terms of making a coherent story and logical progression. But then maybe I am only seeing what I want to see!

    I’ll re-visit this with another deck when I have more time, but as an introduction, for me, this deck was great to use for a large spread for a quick overview.

    PS – are there any larger files of the handouts? I can’t download or read them very well. Thanks!
