So yes, a book, please. Something that I can underline and work with. I mean, most tarot readers are bound to be visual people, right? (Well, if you 'read' cards, that is, it may be different if you're 'listening' to a voice...) People's choice of metaphors can be telling too.
Just got off the phone with that Dan guy.
He says, “the visual aspects of Tarot have been covered. There are thousands of books on the visual aspects. And that is part of the problem with our field. But all the decks, and all the books won’t teach you to read Tarot. Part of our failing as a profession – is the failure to listen.
“Ever talk to some customer service type, or a doctor or whatever…and have them interrupt you and tell you the answer…and you have to say, “if you’d let me finish…” Reading Tarot is all about listening. Listening to the sitter, listening without judgment. Listening to that space between the cards…
“The audio format also allows one to listen during a commute, while you’re jogging, while riding a bicycle. We can use that time we’re spending getting healthy as an opportunity to also feed our brain.
“Wasn’t it Grace Slick who told us, “Feed your head, feed your head…”
That Dan guy sure gets on a roll…
