Courtney Weber blogged about me today in connection with Readers Studio. This is my first time at Readers Studio, and I have butterflies in my stomach. It’s going to be an amazing event and I am going to be learning much more about tarot than I ever thought possible. This will make me an even better tarot reader, and I can’t wait to share the new skills I will be gaining with clients.
In preparation for Readers Studio, I am packing the following to use as my workhorse decks for the conference:
- Tarot of the Boroughs (available at Readers Studio for purchase and here)
- Legacy of the Divine Tarot
- The Llewellyn Tarot
Why three decks? Because I am fickle, and I want to be prepared for that fickleness. I know I’m going to feel that I want to read with a certain deck and if I don’t have it on hand, I will drive myself nuts.
In Tarot Apprentice contest news, the final challenge was posted on Monday. Now the waiting for the announcement of the winner begins. I feel a mix of relief, excitement, and nervousness. What if I’m not picked? What if I AM?! Either way, being a contestant on the Tarot Apprentice really pushed me to some of my limits (Read: vulnerabilities) both as a reader and as a potential businesswoman. It also made me aware of some things I say I don’t do just because they are scary and difficult. Discomfort from something being new is one thing; that’s something I can work through. There’s a difference between setting boundaries because you realize that something doesn’t work for you versus setting boundaries because you’ve never tried it. This is something I need to continue in my life, both as a reader and personally.
I will try to post a new blog after this weekend describing the indescribable: Readers Studio!
I do believe you have some updating to do.
