This is a little teaser… a portion of what I will be teaching at my evening class at Readers Studio this weekend.
The tarot is an incredibly versatile tool. One thinks of its immediate uses first, that of reading for someone’s past, present, future… etc. But did you know that you can “charm” a tarot card to bring aspects of the tarot card into your life… to create the life that YOU want?
This is an article in a series in blog posts…. the “The Major Arcana In-Depth” series! Every few weeks I will be featuring one card of the Major Arcana, from the Fool to the World. Come take a tarot journey with me!

I was appalled when I was talking to some fellow tarot readers the other day about nightmare-ish scenarios with some less-than-ideal clients. Some scenarios they were throwing out there seemed unfathomable to me.
For example, if you had a potentially violent ex-boyfriend trying to bang down your door, would you:
a) Call the police
b) Run into the room furthest away from the front door and cry
c) Scream back and further exacerbate the problem
d) Call a tarot reader

This is my tarot bag… want to take a peek at which decks are inside?
This one comes from a twitter follower:
@hsparry I learned on the most loved + most falling apart Morgan-Greer deck. Are some decks better for some readings or is it your instinct?

The short answer was this:
@katmcbrideart I think it’s a combo of both. I use Mystic Dreamer #tarot for love readings b/c it looks dreamy and romantic to me!

The longer answer, well, is this blog post! The thing is, I try not to play favorites with my tarot decks. They only “become” my tried and true one subject decks if I calibrate them as such. Continue reading »
One of my followers on facebook gave me the absolutely brilliant suggestion of creating a Best of Tarot by Hilary List for 2012… as in the best blog posts that I’ve published in 2012. I have to say, just like the Best of Tarot 2012, it was hard to choose my favorite blog posts, but I was able to do it based on site stats, general popularity, and which ones were my personal favorites to write. Without further ado…
10. What LUSH Taught Me About Brand Dynamics and Tarot
I LOVE LUSH. As I write, I have my trusted “Handy Gurugu” Hand Cream next to me (picked up during a recent trip), and I can’t live without my “Rehab” shampoo and “American Cream” conditioner. I say without a trace of shame that I am a Lushie. This blog post combined two of my great loves (LUSH and tarot, naturally) and made me wonder what it was about LUSH that creates such a die-hard following . . . and how I could apply those principles to my own tarot business.
