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…
Best of Tarot by Hilary 2012
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.
9. The Major Arcana In-Depth: 1 The Magician
Apparently, the Magician is more of a beloved Major Arcana card than I originally thought (or maybe a more misunderstood one) because a whole heap of people wanted to learn about him. Sometimes he can be known as a tricky character (especially when reversed), but overall best known as a teacher. Go get to know him!
8. Billy Joel, Narcissism, and Tarot Readings
I gotta say, this one practically wrote itself (or my anger over the situation did!). What is one to do when confronted with a narcissistic tarot reader who’d rather talk about themselves than you during YOUR reading? The answer to that question (and more!) can be found in this blog post.
7. Are There Shortcuts to Learning Tarot?
The quickie answer is “you betcha!” The longer answer, and some great tips, resides in this blog post. Some of the best blog content here comes from client questions, so keep being inquisitive about tarot, and I’ll keep turning those questions into informative blog posts!
6. The Wisdom Is in You—5 Ways to Realize It
What does a cheesy Hallmark movie about a good witch have to do with tarot and finding your own inner wisdom? You’ll just have to read this blog post to find out! Definitely have a soft spot for this blog post, as I have an unhealthy obsession with Hallmark’s “Good Witch” movie series.
5. The Major Arcana In-Depth: 0 The Fool
This blog post is all about the star of the tarot show The Fool, and his journey. Let’s also throw a little Joseph Campbell in there, a video relating the Hero’s Journey to popular movies, info about the Major Arcana, and stir!
4. Mentorship Wrap-Up (aka the Tarot Apprentice Rises)
A year-long mentorship with Theresa Reed ended with laughs, a few drinks, and lessons learned. What does a tarot mentorship entail? I do my best to describe the experience here.
3. If You Sprinkle When You Tinkle… Leaving Clients Better Than You Found Them
Okay, so it ain’t technically 2012, but this blog post gives me the most website action due to its provocative title and popularity. It ain’t rocket science: treat your clients well and don’t do harm, for pete’s sake!
2. 5 Simple Steps to Activate Your Intuition
More “games” than “steps” to activating your intuition. You gotta be able to play, otherwise intuition development will bore you to tears. Make it fun, and I guarantee you you’ll learn!
1. How I (Almost) Ruined My Marriage Proposal—Parts 1, 2, 3, and Conclusion
Hand’s down, MY favorite series of blog posts and yours. Unfortunately for everyone, that’s all she wrote, since he DID propose (and I said YES!). I’m sure there will be more misadventures involved in being engaged to (and married to) a psychic, so stay tuned!
Gotta admit, 2012 was a pretty great year for posts. So, how do I top it in 2013? I’ve got a few ideas…
