• length
• fee (be sure and note that for a tele-class the student also pays their own long distance phone bill)
• CEU’s (if applicable)
• Course Material: What the class will cover.
• What the student can expect to take away from the class.

8. How will you organize your class?

• Class Objectives

• Introduction
• Main Class Material
• Summary

9. How will you present your class?

• Introduce yourself.
• Ask each person to introduce themselves. (On a tele-class it is fun to also tell people where you are from.)
• Ask your students what they hope to get out of the class.
• Begin presenting your subject. You can do the major portion as a lecture, but class participation is a lot more fun! Note: I like to include handouts whenever possible. They make great visual aids, and present a place for people to take notes.
• Encourage questions.
• Try and end the class on a high note … some kind of exercise or discussion.

   Hi.

   I own several Decks.
   (The Dragon Tarot, The Quest, The Gilded Tarot, The Faeries Oracle, The Unicorns Oracle).

   Sometimes when I do a reading,
   I like to mix a couple decks together,
   (like Quest and Gilded, or Faeries Oracle and The Dragon Tarot)
   shuffle, then do a reading .

   Is this ok to do? I get very interesting and accurate readings doing this.
   I would welcome any tips
   and suggestions.

   Thanks,

   Silverlyn

   I, of course see no problem with mixing decks AND there is no Tarot Purity League to tell you that you can’t.

   I’d love to hear what you get out of doing it.

   Cheers,
   Leisa

   Hi again.

   Leisa, thanks so much for your reply!:) You see, I use my DECKS for getting inspiration as a writer. (I even added a comment on your most recent episode all about it:)

   I sometimes do use the mixed up decks for readings on myself and on close family/friends. What I’ve found though, is that I’ll get THE SAME answers from them…even though I’m MIXING the decks, as when I do one with only ONE deck! Verrrrry intriguing.

   I really enjoy using the Mixed technique for showing me a more detailed reading across the Decks, it really is an experience:) Have you tried this?

   Let me know if you do and how it worked out for you.

   Thanks for your help:)

   Blessed Be,

   Silverlyn

   Skype! It’s free for anyone who has the basic geek skills to set it up (my Mum managed to work it out) in which case it doesn’t cost any of the participants anything. You can also ring people who don’t use Skype on their ‘normal’ telephone (cell or landline) to include them on the Sykpe conference call for a much cheaper rate than normal long-distance rates. You also have the additional benefit of web-based chat to circulate images, handouts etc (I have everything set up on a webpage and just give the links). I’ve been on a number of international committees etc that have worked really well using Skype conference calls. I use a headset for Skype, I find it works better than built-in microphones or telephone-like USB handsets. I bought my Skype headset for about $15 on eBay and hardly ever use my ‘real’ telephone any more.
