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

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.

Hits In Hi-Fi
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.
