“Tarot @ Teatime” — LIVE!

Posted on by

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.

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…

Wil­low is tak­ing a break from the show, so Hon­ey is joined by Elrik Mer­lin as co-pre­sen­ter.

In this episode, they 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.

Hits In Hi-Fi

Posted on by

Today — Wednes­day 30th March — we’ll take a nos­tal­gic jour­ney back to the 1950s and 1960s and beyond, when music was on vinyl (don’t touch the play­ing sur­face!) and home audio was new and excit­ing­ly futur­is­tic… with Hits In Hi-Fi.

In the ear­ly days of stereo, a sig­nif­i­cant num­ber of albums were released that were designed espe­cial­ly to show off the won­ders of this new way of pre­sent­ing musi­cal enter­tain­ment. Sounds “ping-ponged” across the stereo sound­stage; instru­ments appeared hard on one side and then hard on the oth­er… and there were a lot of space ref­er­ences, bloops and bleeps start­ing and end­ing the pieces — and once the Moog Syn­the­sis­er became avail­able, that was includ­ed in the mix too.Con­tin­ue read­ing→
