Another chance to hear Tarot @ Teatime
While Tarot @ Teatime is on hiatus, we are repeating the original season of our series of programmes looking at the Tarot, beginning at Episode 1.
In Tarot @ Teatime, we explore the history and meaning of the Tarot, and discuss a variety of techniques for reading the cards.
Tarot & Teatime: Catch Programmes You Missed!
Our original series on the history of the Tarot and how the cards may be read is currently on hiatus. We intend to bring you a new series soon in its familiar Thursday and Sunday slots.
In the meantime, it’s easy to listen to the existing shows again — maybe to refresh your memory or because you missed them first time round. Just go to Mixcloud.com and search for “Tarot@Teatime”.
In addition, if you visit our Mixcloud Profile, you’ll find all the original series that are available since we opened at the start of 2021.
Tarot @ Teatime Episode 38: The Haughty Swords
Tune in for the latest episode of our original series, “Tarot @ Teatime” as we discuss the suit of Swords.
When Pamela Coleman Smith designed the cards we now know as the Rider-Waite-Smith deck, she was influenced by an early pack, the Sola Busca, that she saw pictures of in the British Museum. This influence is particularly noticeable in the suit of Swords.
However the result of this influence is that the imagery of the Sword cards in RWS and later RWS-derived decks can be found a little misleading to the reader.
In Episode 38 we work through the cards, discussing their imagery and how they may be read in a way that is true to their character, focusing on words and communication.
The episode runs from August 4th to 14th on Thursdays and Sundays at noon and 4pm Pacific Time/8pm and midnight UK time.

Tarot @ Teatime — Episode 37: De-Mystifying the Tarot
This episode was recorded on June 22 before a live audience at VCRadio Tower at the Second Life 19th Birthday.
The programme is, as its name suggests, intended to provide an introduction to the Tarot, and it covers a little of the history of the cards and gives some pointers, suggestions and examples on how to read them.
This episode goes out on Thursdays and Sundays at 12 noon and 4pm Pacific/SLT, up to and including July 31st.
Tarot @ Teatime — Episode 36: Binary Readings
Normally we would suggest that readers use at least a 3‑card spread with their querents, as these can give a surprising amount of information.
However there are times and circumstances where a querent or a reader needs a quick yes/no answer.
These “binary” readings can be carried out with one or two cards, or you can start with one or two and expand the reading with an added combination to give more detail.
We look at methods of carrying out binary and combination readings, and provide examples.
The episode goes out on Thursdays and Sundays at 12 noon and 4pm Pacific/SLT, up to and including July 17th.
