Dear Madame,
`
I have just began with tarot and I was wondering what the 7 of swords mean in a spread? I bought your tarot card which I find so pretty. I also wanted to know, at the life spread and anchor spread which I don’t quiet understand. I am visual. It seems that for the life spread I need two card pack!? I would like to know, learn how to do this… I would like to be able to read myself better because when I do a spread, I am reading the meaning in the book but I would like to know more about the cards as far as you are concern at the light of your own experience. I would like to have the honor to be taught! Kind regards.

Dominique

I’ve been meaning to comment for a long time, and this comment really could go anywhere, but I chose here (and hope you see it lol) because I bought this deck after this podcast after a decade long break.

You’re an excellent interviewer. I’ve got lots of podcasts that come and go on my mp3 player, but yours is always there. Usually I’m not a fan of interview styled casts, and was nervous about yours when I first discovered you. But you do it right, and a lot of people could learn from you.

You ask interesting questions and then get out of the way and let the interviewee run with it. You let them talk, and you’ve had great success and choosing interesting, talkative, fun people to listen to.

Your casts are informative, interesting, fun, and an example of the best the web has to offer in the world of podcasting, in any genre. From sound quality, interview quality, depth of content, and supplemental material made available on your blog. I can’t thank you enough for all of this. Thank you for reminding me how interesting and fun tarot can be.

Yet another awesome interview!

I tried out a slightly altered version of the Life Spread last night with excellent results. At first I was worried there would be too many cards/too much info but it actually ended up showing a great deal of depth and many interconnections between various areas of the sitter’s life. It seems very well suited to general readings.

I used 4 groups of 4 cards with the Key Card in the card in the center of the four corners, drawing or tying it all together. The 4 card groupings related to
1) Home (immediate home environment and feelings about home)
2) Work/Career
3) Relationships/Love
4) Self

with the 3 cards at the bottom of the triangle/pyramid showing progression in that area of life and the card at the top representing the ideal or goal/aim & hopes/wishes.

I’m obsessed with this Spread and have been putting together sets of decks that have a matching majors set to go with it.

What I’m feeling about this right now is that it is great for self readings. With small spreads for myself I can second guess the meanings but with a big spread the themes hit you over the head.

This was such a great interview. I am in love with the spread, so I had to get the book so I could try it myself. I think I like spreads with lots of cards.

Oh, and I loved Ginny’s segment on the fives. I did a reading this morning…it had three fives in it. Hmmm….

Thanks for such a great podcast!

Wonderful podcast, as always, Leisa. The sound quality of the featured guest made listening a bit challenging, however. Otherwise the handout are oh so useful.
