Love your podcast!
I enjoyed hearing the readings- it was informative listening to someone doing an actual reading.
Looking forward to more episodes!

Thank you for your comments on the Robin Wood Tarot Deck. I once flip through it with out any interest, but as a result of your Podcast I am dying to go and give it another try.

What a wonderful gift to discuss the nature of a reading - how it is set up, what the components are, and how to interpret the cards! It also helps to have a visual of the layout, and the manner in which the layouts are presented here is stunning.
I look forward to more discussions of individual decks, comparisons between decks, how to format and read spreads, and how to deal with issues such as having a fairly “rough” card showing up in the final position of a reading.

I’m working my way through as many podcasts as I can. This is one of the most interesting I’ve come across so far, as I find it very helpful to hear actual readings being done. I’m learning a lot about the interaction between readers and querants from this. I’ve only had two face to face readings where I was a querant, so these types of podcasts are excellent learning tools. I look forward to hearing more examples of readings.
