The Incredible Adventures of Jack Flanders — Part 5

April 15, 2022   Programming

Tune in for the lat­est episode of our excit­ing radio ser­i­al from our friends at ZBS Foun­da­tion: The Incred­i­ble Adven­tures of Jack Flan­ders! There are 10 half-hour episodes, one every Fri­day at noon and 4pm Pacific/SLT.

THE INCREDIBLE ADVENTURES OF JACK FLANDERS

In the dead of night, a large ship­ping crate is deliv­ered to the home of our hero Jack Flan­ders. Open­ing the crate, Jack dis­cov­ers a green vel­vet over­stuffed chair. Each night at the stroke of mid­night, Jack sits in the soft, com­fort­able chair which comes alive, lur­ing him onto its vel­vety realm. Every­day real­i­ty fades away, and Jack finds him­self in a strange, oth­er-world of mag­ic, pirates, and sor­cery where huge puff­balls cling to ceil­ings and walls, mast­ed sail­ing ships with wings fly the skies and islands float in the air…

Tarot @ Teatime — Episode 30: 3‑card spreads & layering

April 14, 2022   Programming

In this episode, Hon­ey Heart and Elrik Mer­lin con­tin­ue their dis­cus­sion of 3‑card spreads by look­ing at the many ways in which this sim­ple but infor­ma­tive spread can be used, assign­ing dif­fer­ent inter­pre­ta­tions to the cards that appear in the three posi­tions of the read­ing, such as “Past/Present/Future” and “Mind/Body/Spirit”.

In our pre­vi­ous episode, we talked about the use of 1, 2 and 3‑card read­ings and why and when you’d choose one of these over the larg­er spreads. As we learned, even these small spreads can pack a lot of infor­ma­tion into just a few cards. Now in this episode, we dig a lit­tle deep­er into that work­horse of a spread, the 3‑card spread.

We’ll talk about how these spreads can be used effec­tive­ly to assist in per­son­al devel­op­ment, and we’ll talk about how to enhance these spreads by using the “lay­er­ing” tech­nique — adding cards from oth­er decks to a read­ing. We’ve men­tioned the lay­er­ing tech­nique before, but we’ll go into quite a lot more depth here.

Episode 30 pre­mieres on Thurs­day April 14th at 12 noon and 4pm /SLT Pacif­ic Time (8pm and mid­night in the UK) and is repeat­ed at the same times on Sun­days and Thurs­days until April 24th.

“Tarot @ Teatime” — LIVE!

April 10, 2022   Programming, Station News

Today, Sun­day 10th April, join Hon­ey Heart and Elrik Mer­lin, the hosts of our orig­i­nal series, “Tarot@Teatime”, for a live pre­sen­ta­tion at the pop­u­lar Pagan­Fest fes­ti­val at Coven­stead in Sec­ond Life. https://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Covenstead/162/161/1471

The pre­sen­ta­tion starts at 1pm SLT/9pm in the UK and focus­es on “lay­er­ing” in Tarot read­ing — enhanc­ing your Tarot read­ing skills by using addi­tion­al decks in par­al­lel with your main one.

Whether you’re a pro­fes­sion­al Taro­mancer or just start­ing out, you should find this pre­sen­ta­tion of interest.

And don’t miss your last chance to hear the cur­rent edi­tion of “Tarot @ Teatime” at 12 noon or 4pm SLT.  In episode 29, Hon­ey and Elrik dis­cuss the use of 1, 2 and 3‑card read­ings — and why and when you’d choose one of these over the larg­er spreads. These are rel­a­tive­ly sim­ple spreads — but you don’t always need a grand tableau or even a 9‑card spread every time you read. And a 3‑card spread can pack a lot of infor­ma­tion into just those three cards. They also touch on Tarot Year and Birth cards.
