Tarot @ Teatime Episode 26: Cards of Gateway & Transition

Begin­ning Feb­ru­ary 17th, we’re pleased to re-broad­cast the sec­ond of our live pre­sen­ta­tions from Octo­ber 2021 by the hosts of our orig­i­nal series: “Tarot @ Teatime”, air­ing Thurs­days and Sun­days at noon and 4pm Pacif­ic Time/SLT, 8pm and mid­night in the UK. This pro­gramme was orig­i­nal­ly pre­sent­ed live and on-the-air in Octo­ber as part of the 2021 Haunt­ed Hol­low. This episode will also air on Feb­ru­ary 20th, 24th, and 27th.

Episode 26: Cards of Gate­way & Transition
In this episode, we talk about sev­er­al cards in the Tarot that offer us a gate­way from where we are to some­where else… per­haps a place we’d like to be. Oth­er cards imply a tran­si­tion from one way of per­ceiv­ing our world and our expe­ri­ences to anoth­er; a change in con­scious­ness; a realization.

Music of the Baroque

MOON OVER MOROCCO

Once in a far away land there exist­ed a knowl­edge of nat­ur­al mag­ic that has been lost to mod­ern man. Jack Flan­ders treks to Moroc­co, believ­ing that in this prim­i­tive coun­try, where mag­ic remains an inte­gral part of dai­ly life, he may find this knowl­edge. Jack dis­cov­ers far more than he expect­ed when he steps through the Gate of Pea­cocks, the entrance to that lost world. Jack has stepped out of mod­ern day Moroc­co and into the realm where the knowl­edge of mag­ic is a req­ui­site sur­vival skill. Here’s a cou­ple of tastes of this week’s episode…

Tarot @ Teatime Episode 25: Cards that Look Scary

Begin­ning Feb­ru­ary 3rd, we’re pleased to re-broad­cast a live pre­sen­ta­tion from Octo­ber 2021 by the hosts of our orig­i­nal series: “Tarot @ Teatime” air­ing Thurs­days and Sun­days at noon and 4pm Pacif­ic Time/SLT, 8pm and mid­night in the UK. This pro­gramme was orig­i­nal­ly pre­sent­ed live and on-the-air in Octo­ber as part of The 2021 Haunt­ed Hol­low. This episode will also air on Feb­ru­ary 6th, 10th, and 13th.

Episode 25: Cards that look scary
Some cards in the Tarot have images that are poten­tial­ly off putting, scary, or creepy. We’ll con­sid­er why these cards may evoke a neg­a­tive response for some peo­ple, how to see them in a dif­fer­ent light, and how they can be inter­pret­ed in a Tarot reading.
