The final day of Readers Studio dawned, and besides a very sore throat from belting out “All By Myself” during the after-banquet festivities the night before, I felt great and raring to go!
I woke up later than expected, so I thought I wouldn’t have a chance to attend the Breakfast Roundtable hosted by Doug Reuschel. I ran downstairs to grab breakfast and a coffee, only to find out that I was able to slip into the roundtable quietly and still attend! Doug’s roundtable was about tarot hot topics… basically anything that the attendees wanted to talk about, the good, bad, and the ugly.
After the breakfast roundtable, it was time for us to revisit our foundation readings. I didn’t think that Julie and I could add any more to our readings, but we sure did! To my reading (full of reversals) we applied Caitlín’s “rectification” technique, and to Julie’s reading we applied Sheilaa’s “diamond” spread, to much success.
After that, it was time to attend the tarot incubators. We had a choice of 9 incubators… I was certain whose I was going to attend from the beginning. Valentina Burton was hosting “Your Prosperous Tarot Practice”. I’ve been seeing Valentina at tarot conferences, but I never got to attend anything of hers until now, so it made the choice very easy as to whose incubator I would attend… and who DOESN’T want to learn how to be fabulously successful in their vocation?
Then it was time: wrapping it all up and time to check out of the hotel and go home! Waaaaah! Once we received our certificates, we had closing ceremonies and then the announcement of next year’s Master Class presenters. Imagine my surprise when I heard Theresa Reed’s name announced as a mainstage presenter! I was a little mad that this was the first I was hearing about it, but she was sworn to secrecy. Guess I’ll have to attend Readers Studio 2015!
A final count of the tarot swag…

Ooh! I see you picked up the Mary-El Tarot! I love that one. I use it a lot for readings for myself.
Hi Shannon! I actually WON the Mary-El Tarot, which saved me the trouble of purchasing it (which I was going to…) during the raffle. I’m looking forward to seeing how it works for me 🙂 Thanks for commenting!
