The marvellous Leisa ReFalo has added my latest podcast to her site. It’s about some of my favourite tarot layouts and about how I design a tarot layout. You can listen here: http://tarotconnection.net/episode-79/ . Let’s hear your feedback on it. Enjoy!
This weekend, I taught a workshop in Beamsville, ON called Journal Writing As a Spiritual Practice. Over the course of the day, six themes emerged. I can’t go into specific details, as this would break our circle’s agreement of confidentiality; however, the general themes that seem to be in the field/consciousness are:
- Earth/Gaia.
- Interconnectedness.
- Power.
- Conscious choice.
- Listening.
- Less busy-ness.
In these themes, I hear questions I’ve been sitting with personally:
- How can I/we hold ritual WITH nature/earth instead of just FOR it?
- What does moving at the pace of guidance look/feel like? How can I/we move at that more human pace consciously?
- What might “unitasking” look/feel like? How can we do it?
- How can we balance doing and being?
- How can I share power WITH others while maintaining my own sense of inner power?
- What does the voice of the earth sound like? What questions is this voice asking us? What song is this voice singing?
Please read the themes. What questions do they inspire in you? Based on those questions, what actions might you carry out in the world?

I enjoyed the podcast quite a bit! It was a nice extension of your presentation at the reader’s studio. One side-point you made that clicked for me is the usefulness of having opposite positions in a spread (as in: what you should leave/what you should keep). I often do that, but haven’t really considered it as a principle until now. Blending and interaction of opposites is such a pervasive idea in the tarot imagery, it makes sense to extend that out to spreads as well.
Also, the demonstration of how quickly one can arrive at position definitions with the client was good to hear. I usually come up with the positions on my own, but I can see the value of doing it interactively. Maybe I’ll try it soon!

I’ve heard the show and thought it was great to help us think or rethink spreads…
It even gave an idea of how to work on some matters…
And I have to say.. I love the one card spread… gives room to so much =)
